We heard from Capitol Crossing, the project that is decking over I-395 and building on top of it, with a photo update that really provides a good sense of perspective on the project. The photo above shows a view looking southward from Massachusetts Ave towards the Capitol building and the gallery below includes the full photo set showing the project’s progress.

The project now registers significant progress on the first building at 200 Massachusetts Avenue, NW (rendering link). Work on the third of twelve floors of that first building is moving ahead full steam and the platform covering the highway is over 50 percent completed. The project brings 4,000 construction jobs to the city, and—once completed—will support an estimated 10,000 employees and residents in the five buildings.
Got Lunch?
Devon & Blakely has joined the neighborhood lunch scene with the opening of a new location in the 601 Massachusetts Avenue building. Not only are the menu options delicious, but the great sidewalk seating is sure to make this a busy spot from the start.
Moncler Winter Boutique Opens In CityCenter (913 Palmer Alley NW)
The latest store to open in downtown DC is Moncler (913 Palmer Alley) which sits at the corner of 9th St and Palmer Alley NW in CityCenter. It has coveted frontage facing the street and a window display that is eye catching to say the least. Moncler is perhaps best known for the puffy ski jacket look which has been mimicked by many other companies.
Moncler offers men’s, women’s, and children’s winter clothing and accessories, and was founded in 1952 in France. To see interior photos, Washingtonian magazine has the scoop.

Reren Lamen & Bar (817 7th St NW) Open For Service
Reren Lamen & Bar Restaurant (817 7th St NW) is open and serving lunch and dinner. PQ Living was the first to let you know that Mehak Indian was closing and in its place arrived Reren. The restaurant’s mission found on their website is listed below:
Our aim is to provide healthy, authentic Asian dishes using locally sourced produce with no extra additives such as MSG and artificial flavorings. We stress the importance of quality homemade food because after all, homemade food tastes the best. Therefore, many of our products from our noodles to are dumplings are made right here inside the restaurant. The cuisine of Asia is rich in diversity so we took culinary influences from Thailand, Japan and all parts of China to craft our dishes, which are aimed to cater to multiple palates. We hope you enjoy what we have to offer.
And yes, you read that right…it’s ‘lamen’, not ‘ramen’ that they serve. Again, from the website:
Lamen has an over 4,000-year- old history in China. In fact, these noodles are some of the oldest in the world and are precursors to the Japanese Ramen noodles. Our lamen at Reren’s carries on this legacy and is made daily with high-gluten whole-wheat flour to produce chewy, flavor-soaking noodles.
Their menu can be found here or check out the photos below.
