Motophoto Announces Closure (400 7th St NW)
Via the PQNA mailing list, Motophoto will be closing effective January 31st.
The owner sent this message: Rather than just vanish in the night, we have decided to have a Motophoto Goodbye Party. From Tuesday, January 22nd through Saturday, January 26th we will have a celebration of our time in the Penn Quarter. We will have some light refreshments Friday and Saturday. Please come for good conversation, and, best of all, some good deals.
Motophoto has been a long time resident of Penn Quarter at 7th & D St. They will be missed!
Last Day Of Restaurant Week
Today is the last day of Restaurant Week, we hope everyone was able to take advantage of the cheap eats these last 7 days. Any good or bad comments for the way various restaurants in PQ participated?
Metro Delays This Weekend
This has been all over the news, but a reminder that work at Metro Center begins today and will continue throughout the weekend. Metro officials say to add at least 30 minutes to your commute times as trains will be single tracking.
F Street Goes Co Co
The opening announcements just don’t stop, do they? Today we’re pointing you to a WaPo Dish article about the Co Co. Sala, a lounge themed on chocolate, coffee and drinks, looking to open by Valentine’s Day at 929 F Street, NW (it was previously called C3Fix). The Washington Business Journal reported on this venue in April of last year.
The F Street story is slowly unfolding with the Cowgirl Creamery (919 F Street) open for a while now followed by Mia Gemma (933 F Street) opening early this year. More welcome culinary and lounging news for the PQ and all you chocoholics!
