Eat Brgz Is Now Closed In Chinatown (704 7th St NW)

Posted by pqresident

eat brgz closed chinatown washington dc

Eat Brgz (704 7th St NW) opened May 9, 2022 but abruptly closed last week. They continue to have two locations, one in Eastern Market/Capitol Hill and one in the West End. According to their website the West End location was “relocating from Chinatown”, but given the elaborate build out at the 7th St location we find that to be difficult to believe. We ate here a few times and generally enjoyed the burgers but never witnessed a volume of customers that indicated a sustainably profitable business. Regardless, it’s a minus one we have to chalk up that counters the plus ones (representing openings in the neighborhood) since the end of the pandemic.

Avis/Budget opened a car rental location in the garage underneath 616 E St NW on Monday, January 16. This location offers the regular range of rentals from Avis/Budget selectable on their reservation system. This opening is welcome news as the Hertz location that used to be in the Gallery Place garage closed during the summer of 2022. The Penn Quarter Garage location is accessible via an elevator lobby facing 7th Street between Carmine’s Italian Restaurant (425 7th St NW) and the Clara Barton Missing Soldier’s Museum (437 7th St NW). The rental building in the garage can be found on the P1 or first level of the garage.

Avis/Budget haven’t programmed their website very well to recognize the 20004 zip code or the 616 E St NW street address of the outlet’s location. Use the location code ‘AVDC3‘ on the Avis website or ‘BGDC3‘ on the Budget website to find and make reservations at the Penn Quarter Garage (616 E St NW) location. The starting hours are 7:30 am to 6 pm weekdays, 9 am to 1 pm on Saturdays, and 9 am to 3 pm on Sundays.

Happy renting!

CityCenter gains another opening with The Museum of Illusions Washington DC (MOIDC) at 927 H St NW on the second level. The museum offers in person experiences with illusionistic rooms, optical illusions and a playroom with didactic games and puzzles. Visitors learn about vision, perception, and the human brain through these exhibits. The original Museum of Illusions concept was launched in Zagreb, Croatia, in 2015 and now has locations in multiple cities around the world.

The museum is not a Smithsonian museum and as such has an admission fee. Tickets with entries through March 31, 2023 can be purchased in advance here.

Sunday through Thursday the museum is open from 10 am to 8 pm. Friday and Saturday it’s open from 10 am to 9 pm.
