Thanks to Stuart for passing on from the Chevy Chase listserv:
“I was in Pumpernickels/Arucolo (5534 Connecticut Avenue, NW) on Sunday morning – and go the skinny from the owner. They will be going to online sales only as of April 1. They plan to do baking and preperation offsite – and then use the various food delivery services available (uber eats etc.) Apparently Arucolo is also leaving.”
Pumpernickel’s twitter has a post on December 10th 2018 saying “PUMPERNICKEL’S IS PERMANENTLY CLOSED.” However there is a yelp review from February that says:
“Was glad to find out that this shop is not closed but joined with the restaurant Arucola so you can still get bagels there at a makeshift counter in the back of the dining room (hours are 7:30-8 am to 2 pm daily). (more…)

I keep forgetting to share this comment from our Best Thai in Town thread:
“Sadly, Tanad is closing. It’s on the Chevy Chase Listserv. I just went back and looked at the posts, and apparently a hostess has told people that March 5th is the last day. The (perhaps someday) good news is that the owner is apparently hoping to take a year off/restructure, and reopen next year.”
In January 2012 we noted that there was a lot of love for 4912 Thai, the precursor to Tanad, which was closed after it’s retail license was suspended.
Ed. Note: Phone numbers listed for Tanad that I’ve tried calling have been disconnected. Updates when we learn more.
