Downtown – The M & S Grill (13th and F St NW) closed its doors. [Washington Business Journal]
Penn Quarter – Tom Sietsema reviews Frederik de Pue’s Azur (508 8th St NW) restaurant. We’ve been once but we will need to return before we can come up with our own verdict. [WaPo]
Downtown – Todd English opens MXDC, a modern Mexican restaurant, in the former Galileo III & Butterfield 9 space at 600 14th St NW. We love this space so we’re excited to check it out soon. [WaPo] & [Prince of Petworth] & [REVAMP (extensive photos)]
Chinatown – Del Campo (777 I St NW) in the old PS7 space opened and gets reviewed by Sietsema too. In separate news, the Del Campo patio is open for the season. [WaPo]
Penn Quarter – Oyamel (6th and D St NW) expands into the former TicketPlace space next door. We popped our heads in and the opening up of the restaurant is quite transformational. We also expect to have a better chance at finding a bar seat for taco happy hour. [PQ Living] & [Washington Business Journal] & [REVAMP (extensive photos)]
Downtown – Casa Luca (1099 New York Ave NW) continues under construction for an early summer opening in the former Againn space. [Bad Wolf Blog (Shaw neighborhood)] & [Casa Luca website]
Penn Quarter – Cedar (822 E St NW) restaurant’s chef, Aaron McCloud, is growing some of the ingredients he uses to serve at Cedar on the top of the building. Urban farming…very cool! [WTOP]
Downtown – Astro Donuts & Fried Chicken is now open Saturdays offering hours from 9 am to 3 pm. [Astro Donuts & Fried Chicken website]
Penn Quarter – The National Building Museum teamed up with Hill Country to host the Backyard Barbecue Wednesdays to Sundays on the NBM’s lawn with live music on Fridays and Saturdays. Don’t tell any of those folks at Jazz in the Garden…we’ll keep it our neighborhood secret.

Any updates on Red Apron? They were supposed to open in April, but I looked in the other day (through a tiny opening) and they haven’t done anything with the space. Unless they put things up in record time I’d say they are months away. Why do I get the sneaking suspicion that they’re going to pull a Wagamama (which btw I will boycott now for all eternity). I should have known that a butcher in our neighborhood was too good to be true.
