If you live in Advisory Neighborhood Commission 1A06 (see map above) then there’s a special election for you this Wednesday. The seat for that area is currently vacant after the previous commissioner resigned. The special election for the seat is at the next ANC meeting, which will take place this Wednesday, January 10th and 7…

This is great news: the folks from Timber Pizza Co. on Upshur are taking over the old Alfie’s/Tchoup’s/Mothership space at 3301 Georgia Avenue, turning it into a Jewish-inspired deli named Call Your Mother. They jokingly call it a “Jew-ish” deli as it’s not super traditional, with bagels made in a wood-fired oven that are a cross…

This is neat: a reader sent me this photo of 2905 Sherman Avenue NW, where it looks like a new Vietnamese place is going in. The sign reads “BÚN DC Vietnamese ‘Soc Trang’ Homestyle Cuisine.” Bún is a type of Vietnamese noodle bowl. Soc Trang is a coastal area so maybe that means more seafood…

Well, this stinks: Walters, the sports bar at 3622 Georgia Ave NW, has closed for good, according to PoP. The spot opened in 2015 as a joint venture between DC Reynolds and Looking Glass Lounge, which are on either side of it. At some point the Looking Glass folks sold their share to DC Reynolds.…

Whoa, dude. Something called The History of Cannabis Museum (get it, THC Museum) is coming to 3626 Georgia Avenue NW, near DC Reynolds and Manny and Olga’s. I walked by the other day, it seems to be under construction but their website has opening hours and says there’s a $10 admission. A reader wrote a…

Finally, something is coming to the former Zombie Coffee and Donuts space on Irving Street in DCUSA: Pidzza, a local chain of fast-casual Mediterranean pizza places. It looks similar to &pizza but with more Mediterranean options like cauliflower and artichokes. Sounds pretty tasty. My friend snapped this photo the other day, so presumably they’ll be…
