Chinatown – We attended the first Industry Takeover Night on January 7 at Graffiato (707 6th St NW) with Bryan Voltaggio from Range cooking in the house. It was *very* well attended, delicious, and the food was gratis. The next industry night is on February 4 with Scott Drewno from The Source (575 Pennsylvania Ave NW). Refer to the photo above to see what we mean. [Graffiato – Industry Takeover Nights schedule/description]
Penn Quarter – Donald Trump wants to avoid the possessory interest tax on the Old Post Office redevelopment. Union Station was not so fortunate so we don’t think the Donald will be either. DC earns mucho dinero from commercial real estate taxes. [Washington CityPaper]
Chinatown – Absolute Noodle from the folks at Absolute Thai opens at 772 5th St NW. The liquor license was before last evening’s ANC2C meeting so we believe that will be on its way shortly. [The 42 Bus Twitter picture] & [Menu – The 42 Bus]
Chinatown – Slices on the Walk replaces the pretzel place in the Gallery Place alley (7th and G St NW) and Panera is open too at 7th and H St (675 H St NW). [PoPville – Slices] & [PoPville – Panera]
Penn Quarter – Jon Gann, a resident of Penn Quarter, is running for the D.C. Council At-Large councilmember position. [Jon Gann for D.C. Council website]
Chinatown – There’s a new public protestor on the corner of 7th and H St NW…and he dances a lot. [Washington CityPaper 1] & [Washington CityPaper 2 (possibly NSFW)]
Downtown – Tosca Restaurant (1112 F St NW) gets a facelift. [Washingtonian]
Penn Quarter – A new bartender is coming to Elisir at 427 11th St NW. [Washingtonian]
Downtown – Will CityCenter have an Apple store? Maybe…ooohh the anticipation. [WaPo]
Downtown – Will CityCenter get a speculative office building? Maybe….ooohh the anticipation. [Washington Business Journal]
Downtown – Will CityCenter get a condo building? Yes! Our first Crib of the Week for 2013 is a development and for the trifecta in the CityCenter news department is the Residences at CityCenter on the site of the old DC Convention Center. There will be two condo buildings that front 9th St NW and we toured the sales center and the full size 2 BR condo built into the sales center on one of the floors of 901 New York Avenue. Based on what we saw, the condos will be just great and very European befitting Norman Foster’s architectural involvement. Figure on about $700 per square foot for a purchase price and 90 cents per square foot per month for the condo fee. Larger one bedrooms on up get a parking space included. We’ll let you do the math.
