Nice! Thanks to Eric and Rachel for the heads up on Red Boat (the former Micho’s space): “And everything is 50% off. It may be open now- they had Open signs on the door, and the lights are on!” (more…)

Back in November we learned that Peking Express had “closed for renovations”. Anyone take an early taste of the Jerk?

Thanks to Susan and ANC Commissioner 3F06 Monika Nemeth for passing on the news:
“I went to visit Jake’s (5018 Connecticut Ave.) this evening as they are in my SMD and was shocked to learn that they are closing permanently on Sunday. Apparently lease negotiations fell apart. They will be sorely missed.”
Jake’s American Grille opened here in February 2011. Before Jake’s this space was home to Uptown Cathay. Updates when we learn what becomes of the space.

I’ve been getting antsy about the Chiko opening in Dupont since I’ve seen they’re now hiring and proper signage has gone up. Good news, if all goes well they will open “the first part of February.”
STAY TUNED.

Thanks to Evan for sending:
“Heads up on a new West African restaurant serving (currently) breakfast through dinner that just opened in Takoma Park in the last couple weeks. Only seen a couple people in the place yet, but it looks nice and has a heck of a long wine list for such a small space. Near Erie & Flower Aves.”
