Potato Valley Cafe To Open Soon!
Cheryl writes in to let us know that Potato Valley Cafe (approx. 616 E St NW) is expected to open in about two months. They will start out with hours that extend into the evening to gauge foot traffic.
Our guess is that if there isn’t much demand in the evening, they will scale back hours for just the office crowd.
801-807 7th St Partial Demolition Approved By HPRB
On 12/22/06, the D.C. Historic Preservation Office approved the partial demolition of buildings from 801-807 7th St. Presumably, Yeni Wong is starting work on her new project. We copied some of the plans almost a year ago, but we think they may have changed significantly – especially with Wong’s [alleged] acquisition of more buildings along H St.
It will be exciting to see the northeast (and final) quadrant of the 7th and H St intersection get some new life.
Since this action should bring the closure of the CVS, we note that the next closest CVS is on 400 Mass Ave.
Break Out The Menus…It’s Restaurant Week!
It’s that time of year again. Break out the “list” and get ready to cross off a restaurant or two because it is DC’s 10th Restaurant Week from January 8 to January 14. A list of restaurants can also be found here. Lunch is $20.07 and dinner is $30.07. Let us know if any PQ restaurants provide exceptional culinary delight. Bon appetit !
