Bagels Taste Better When Eaten Outside
Bruegger’s (505 9th ST NW) has posted a notice stating that they’ve applied to operate an outdoor cafe on E Street NW. We love outdoor seating and a laid back establishment like Bruegger’s seems perfect for a few tables and chairs. The application was filed on April 8 and we’re not sure when the notice went up in the window but this is the first time we’ve noticed it.
We hope there’s not any opposition to this request; that stretch of E street has wide sidewalks and not a lot else going on. It’s always good to have people out and about enjoying the PQ’s streets.

Spring Showers Bring Some Color To Cedar (822 E St NW)
The soon to-be-open Cedar Restaurant (822 E Street NW) sprouted spring colors recently with both a new awning and vertical signage. We thought that this PQ village location would get taken eventually now that the parcel across the street is no longer a flat top parking lot and there’s a newer condo in the next block over! Remember those days?
A warm thanks goes out to PQ Living reader Rusty who snapped and sent in the above photo.
