Penn Quarter – Living Social takes some punishment. No bonuses for 2012 and a $110 million injection to provide additional funding. Ru-roh-Rastro. [WaBizJo]
Chinatown/Penn Quarter – A few construction permits worth noting – the former martial arts video store at the corner of 6th and H St (750 6th St NW) will become a “fast food establishment” and Potbelly’s (726 7th St NW) will convert into a Lime Fresh Mexican Grill with a new storefront after renovations.

Mount Vernon Triangle – The Donohoe Company gets booted off the 5th and Eye (I) RFP by the DC Government. We want the 20 hours back that we spent reporting on this and attending community meetings over the years. [The Triangle]
Downtown – Another thorough installment from the Streets of Washington about a historic downtown DC building. This time it is the former Washington Post building at 1341 E St NW. One of the vintage postcards also depicts the “New” National Theatre which is still standing. [Streets of Washington]
Penn Quarter – Elisir Restaurant (427 11th St NW) is going casual and is now closed for a 10 day period. It plans to reopen as a more casual venue on approximately March 15. [Eater – DC] & [WaPo – Tom Sietsema chat]
Downtown – Looks like we’re going to get a Conrad Hilton for the hotel in CityCenter. Cocktails in the lobby bar anyone? [WaBizJo] & [WaPo]
Downtown – Tom Sietsema reviews Woodward Table (1430 H St NW) and gives it two stars out of four. We’ve eaten there a number of times and think Sietsema is close – we give it two and a half stars. The duck confit flatbread is pretty fantastic especially when paired with one of the red wines on tap. [WaPo]
Penn Quarter Crib(s) of the Week – Our Crib of the Week is one of the four level (if you include the deck) penthouse units at The Lafayette, 631 D St NW. Unit 1143 is for rent for $4,995 per month. Nice! [MRIS-Homes Database]
