For Cat People A cat cafe opening during a pandemic? Hear us out. Old Town’s Mount Purrnon (109 S. Alfred St.) is Colonial-themed—peep the cat in a tricorn hat on its home­page—and serves as a cat lounge, coffee shop, and adoption center. An hour of kitty time is $20, but those who need to escape their WFH for longer can get a daily pass for $40 or a monthly for $80. The cafe is separate from the felines, so you won’t risk getting cat hair in your coffee. Masks are required. For Dog People While cat cafes have been popping up around town for the last few years, a newer concept is the dog bar. One of two that are scheduled to open in the region this fall is Brewski’s Barkhaus in Del Ray (529 East Howell Ave.). For $225 a year, or $25 a month, members and their dogs will get unlimited access to a private indoor/outdoor dog park as well as a dog-friendly restaurant and bar. Italian Arrivals and Departures Alexandria got two new pizza-and-pasta joints this summer. The first to open was Piece Out in Del Ray (2419 Mount Vernon Ave.), owned by the Ponzi family, who also run Alexandria’s Cafe Pizzaiolo. The restaurant offers New York- and Detroit-style slices and pies, plus frosé, wings, and mini-cannolis. The menu is available for takeout or dine-in on the patio or in the socially distanced dining room. The second spot to debut, Hank & Mitzi’s Italian Kitchen in Old Town (600 Montgomery St.), is the latest venture from Jamie Leeds, the chef and restaurateur behind Hank’s Oyster Bar. The menu is heavy on pasta made in-house, hand-crafted pizzas, and Negronis and spritzes. The restaurant has patio seating, and you can also order delivery via Doordash. Meanwhile, Old Town lost its beloved Pizzeria Paradiso because of Covid-19. The popular decade-old pizza-and-beer destination shut its doors back in March and will not reopen. You can still find owner Ruth Gresser’s Neapolitan pies at a monthly pop-up at Alexandria’s Port City Brewing Company (3950 Wheeler Ave.). Cycling in a Pandemic Ascend Cycle’s new garage (2903 Mount Vernon Ave.) is literally that: a former garage converted into an open-air cycling studio for pandemic-safe workouts. Just down the street from the studio’s original indoor location in Del Ray, the garage has sliding doors left open for air circulation, and all bikes are spaced ten feet apart. Riders tune in to the music and instructor’s voice via headphones, and everyone gets a personal sanitation kit. To ride, you must bring your own shoes, headphones, water, and towel. It’s $22 per class. Another Covid Closure Also shut because of the pandemic: quirky Pendleton Carryout Co. in Old Town, which featured a rotating cast of pop-ups selling cakes, dumplings, and pupusas alongside its excellent Roman-style pizza. But it’s not all bad news. A new tenant is already slated for Pendleton’s space: the pun-loving Chewish Deli (807 Pendleton St.). Owner Gregg Linzey, who also runs a food truck with a similar menu—it will go on temporary hiatus—will serve New York-style bagels, breakfast sandwiches, Reubens, and baked goods. A warning for traditionalists: Schmears have included flavors such as maple-espresso and roasted garlic. Developer Dissed A huge new development slated to re-place an aging apartment complex bordered by South Patrick and North Washington streets in Old Town came under intense scrutiny at a design-review hearing earlier this fall. As reported by the Washington Business Journal, when the New York company Asland Capital Partners presented plans for its 777-unit Heritage at Old Town project, officials unleashed a torrent of criticism, including “We can’t put lipstick on this pig” and “This is Ballston. We don’t want to be Ballston.” Ouch. The developer contends that the project—which would be among the largest residential developments recently built in Alexandria—needs to be big to accommodate the 190 affordable units in the plan. No word yet on next steps. Say Yes to the Salon Monte Durham, the fan-favorite bridal consultant on TLC’s Say Yes to the Dress: Atlanta, opened his own hair salon in Old Town in September, called Salon Monte (210 S. Union St.). Before he became a reality-TV star, Durham was a hairstylist. He also did a long-ago stint as a personal stylist at the Woodward & Lothrop at Landmark Mall. According to ALXNow, the Belle Haven resident decided to open the salon after the pandemic curtailed filming of his show. Inside, the place is decked out in custom wallpaper, with shelves of Durham’s own line of products. Timber! In September, Alexandria City Public Schools chopped down a beloved 150-year-old oak tree on the campus of T.C. Williams High School to make way for a football-stadium concession stand. Nearly 3,000 people signed a Change.org petition to save the tree, but to no avail. “A crime has been committed,” one activist told ALXNow after the oak’s demise. New Old Town Shopping In January, Sephora moved into the storefront previously occupied by home-furnishings boutique Random Harvest (810 King St.). Over the summer, an outpost of British retailer FatFace took over the old Trading Post menswear space (128 King St.). The store sells casualwear and accessories for men, women, and children. It has ten US locations, though this is the first in the Washington area. As for that name, it’s a reference to the cofounders’ favorite “fat” run in the French Alps. Save the Sign When the outdoor-clothing company Patagonia announced last year that it would move into the shuttered Old Town Theater (815½ King St.), residents wondered what would become of the building’s landmark “Old Town” sign. The retailer initially planned to remove the lettering and replace it with its own branding. But after city officials pushed back, it relented. Though the sign was saved, the store’s original spring opening date couldn’t be. Because of coronavirus, Patagonia is now working to open sometime this fall. Next Act After 18 years on North Royal Street, MetroStage theater closed in 2019 in preparation for its move to a new, larger home at the Venue (901 N. Fairfax St.), a mixed-use development on the Old Town North waterfront, scheduled to finish this year. The project is centered around transforming the Crowne Plaza hotel into a 13-story condo tower. MetroStage—which produces contemporary plays and musicals—will occupy a 7,000-square-foot performing-arts space at the base of the building. Curry and Chow Mein Indo-Chinese creations such as chop suey tinted with turmeric and spice-battered fried chicken in chili-garlic sauce are on the menu at IndoChen (4906 Brenman Park Dr.), which opened in the Cameron Station development in August. The restaurant, formerly known as London Curry House, has ditched its red-walled, chandeliered decor in favor of a more muted palette. But the owners remain the same, and staples from the old menu, including butter chicken and lamb rogan josh, are sticking around. Something Sweet Owner Brandon Byrd has won lots of fans over the years selling sweets from his Goodie’s Frozen Custard & Treats vintage van. Now he’s launching a brick-and-mortar version under the same name. Starting with a “soft” opening planned for November, he’ll be serving his Wisconsin-style custard from a walk-up window in Old Town (200 Commerce St.).

- [Arlington](https://washingtonian.com/location/arlington/) - What’s happening in the home of Amazon HQ2 Before a global pandemic arrived, the region’s biggest real-estate story was Amazon HQ2. Though it might feel like a lifetime has passed, the announcement that Arlington had scored the new headquarters for Jeff Bezos’s company came a year and a half ago. Almost overnight, the neighborhoods surrounding the future National Landing campus turned into the region’s hottest housing market. By the end of 2019, the number of homes for sale in and around Arlington had plummeted by some 60 percent since the Amazon news. Potential sellers were holding off in the hopes they’d be able to fetch much more once Amazon’s presence grew. Meanwhile, buyers—including speculators—had been scooping up any property priced within reason. Though housing inventory is low throughout Washington, the extreme drop near National Landing was unparalleled. As a result, home prices in Arlington County rose by nearly 9 percent in 2019. In the 22202 Zip code—where HQ2 will be located—they spiked nearly 18 percent. (By comparison, DC’s median home price increased just 2.6 percent last year.) “Think of the Amazon HQ2 announcement as creating concentric waves. To a large extent, the waves didn’t cross the Potomac River,” explains David Howell, chief information officer at the real-estate brokerage McEnearney. “It changed so dramatically and so quickly in Virginia.” It seemed only a matter of time be-fore Crystal City—as we knew it in its pre–National Landing days—would be as packed with tech bros and high-end happy-hour joints as Seattle’s South Lake Union, home of Amazon’s original HQ. But of course, that was before Covid-19 threw every assumption about Washington real estate into question. The extent of the virus’s impact on the housing market is still impossible to decipher because months of quarantining have caused both buyers and sellers to stay on the sidelines. As demand and supply have fallen off, prices have held steady, with many listings continuing to get multiple offers, in Arlington and elsewhere. Agents are quick to point out that the sectors hit hardest by the pandemic—the restaurant and hospitality industries—are weighted with renters anyway, rather than with potential house-hunters. However, law firms and other white-collar employers are ramping up layoffs, too, which could take a much more significant toll on residential real estate. “My crystal ball is completely clouded over,” says Terry Clower, director of George Mason University’s Center for Regional Analysis. “We’ll have to wait and see how the economic pain comes about.” Even if the broader Washington market takes a dive, could the momentum around HQ2 provide a degree of insulation for Arlington? “That’s a great theory,” says Clower, “but we’ll probably never be able to prove it.” Instead, he says, if the neighborhoods surrounding National Landing end up weathering coronavirus better than other parts of the region, that could simply be a reflection of changing housing preferences. Already, real-estate agents say they’re hearing from clients who are reevaulating what they want out of their homes because of the lockdown. For some urbanites, a condo on 14th Street no longer sounds as appealing as a house with a yard and space for an office. “If you’re living in the District now, you probably are not thinking about moving to Loudoun,” says Clower. “You’re going to pick Arlington or Alexandria”—i.e., places that are walkable and still close to downtown DC. In other words, the same reasons why Arlington has always attracted Washington’s professional class could become even more of a draw in the wake of quarantine. As for the tech-driven renaissance in National Landing, it’s moving along despite the pandemic. Amazon already has more than 700 employees working in the neighborhood, plus more than 400 open job postings for Arlington positions. While other tech companies, such as Facebook and Twitter, have opted to shift thousands of positions to remote work permanently because of Covid, Amazon has made no such announcement. Asked whether the size of HQ2 could be reduced in anticipation of more employees working from home, a company spokesperson says, “We’re still proceeding as planned.” Indeed, construction of Amazon’s first new HQ2 tower has continued apace during lockdown, and developer JBG Smith expects to complete the sale of the next HQ2 site—which is under contract—to Amazon in 2021. Earlier this year, JBG Smith also finished the shell of its Central District retail-and-entertainment project in National Landing, slated to feature an Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, a grocer, and restaurants and bars. Even as many of us wonder when we’ll ever feel safe eating out again, the developer says it’s preparing to turn over the spaces to tenants. Five Awesome Places to Get Outside These days, the outdoors feel particularly great. And Arlington—beloved for its parks and trails—has plenty of excellent options (so long as everyone keeps an appropriate social distance). Arlington Loop Arlingtonians love to burn calories on this 16-mile network of walking, running, and cycling trails, which circumnavigates the county. It’s almost entirely protected from car traffic and takes you past cool scenery such as Gravelly Point, where you can watch planes take off from Reagan National. bikearlington.com. Bon Air Park The memorial rose garden, which pays tribute to World War II veterans, is the main attraction here. With thousands of blooming bushes, it’s a popular site for weddings as well as just a pretty spot to enjoy a sunny day. The rest of the park includes playgrounds and picnic areas. 850 N. Lexington St.; parks.arlingtonva.us. Four-Mile Run Trail Despite its name, the paved path actually extends nearly ten miles. You can access it from Barcroft Community Center (4200 S. Four Mile Run Dr.), then take it toward the W&OD railroad or, in the opposite direction, toward the Mount Vernon Trail and Reagan National. parks.arlingtonva.us/off-street-trails. Potomac Overlook Regional Park These 67 acres include an organic vegetable garden, a nature center, a shelter for rescued owls, and miles of wooded trails. You can pick up the Potomac Heritage Trail here and take it on a scenic riverside hike to Theodore Roosevelt Island. 2845 N. Marcey Rd., novaparks.com. Shirlington Dog Park With acres of space for dogs to romp off-leash plus a stream and a generous-size fenced area for small dogs, this is basically canine Xanadu. It can attract pet owners from all over, though, so if it’s too packed to keep a safe distance, consider the lesser-known Fort Ethan Allen dog park (3829 N. Stafford St.), which rarely sees crowds. 2710 S. Oakland St.; parks.arlingtonva.us. —Jennifer Sergent
- [Tysons](https://washingtonian.com/location/tysons/) - Empty Container Store A former Container Store on Leesburg Pike is set to become the test case for a new Fairfax County program—called Activate Fairfax—that aims to revitalize vacant commercial spaces. The county bought the old Container Store near the Spring Hill Metro last year because it eventually plans to do major roadwork at the site. But as that work is still years off, Fairfax is calling for entrepreneurs to submit ideas to turn the 19,000-square-foot space into a pop-up cultural destination of some kind. Let There Be Traffic Lights Tysons has been striving to shake its reputation as traffic-snarled and pedestrian-unfriendly. And for a long time, it seemed the intersection at Westbranch and Westpark drives hadn’t gotten the memo. The corner wasn’t so much unwelcoming to foot traffic as downright hostile. With 11,000 cars, six lanes, and zero stoplights, the intersection had over the years been the subject of two local TV news investigations on ABC7, several gruesome videos in which nearby workers captured dramatic crashes, and countless complaints to local government. But in February, the battle came to an end when the Virginia Department of Transportation finally installed a traffic light. Pedestrians got some relief, too: four crosswalk signals. (Food) Court Drama Mike Isabella’s food hall at Tysons Galleria abruptly closed following the celebrity chef’s sexual-misconduct scandals. But the arrival of a new operator didn’t mean the end of turmoil. Last summer, the Washington brokerage District Equities sued the company now running the food hall, Urban­space Tysons, which had brought a number of popular DC and Virginia restaurateurs to the hall. The allegation: Urbanspace had effectively stolen District Equities’ local knowledge and relationships to find its vendors. In October, both sides agreed to dismiss the lawsuit, and while there have been some closures in the food hall, there have also been recent additions. Butcher’s Cut, a steak frites joint, arrived in October, and the owners of Shaw’s Tiger Fork just opened a Cantonese barbecue counter there called Hei Hei Tiger. The Scooters Descend In November, the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors set up new regulations for dockless scooters, thanks in large part to support from stakeholders in Ty-sons. Representatives of the Tysons Partnership—the organization overseeing all of the redevelopment in the area—and local businesses testified that the scooters would be a boon for restaurants and retail while also helping reduce traffic. To start, scooter companies can dispatch up to 300 of their vehicles in the county. Grocery Capital If you’re into hanging out at enormous luxury grocery stores, it’s difficult to think of a better destination than Ty-sons. The 70,000-square-foot flagship Whole Foods that opened by the Greensboro Metro last fall has a pub, dough-nut and coffee shops, a Jrink juice bar, and a Japanese restaurant, as well as outposts of Rappahannock Oyster Co. and Officina. This fall, it will get a worthy competitor in the 80,000-square-foot Wegmans opening at the Capital One Center. That store will include a cafe with indoor and outdoor seating, a burger-and-milkshake counter, and a rooftop park. What’s on the Map Big new developments, by metro stop It’s been ten years since Fairfax County enacted its sweeping plan to transform Tysons into a 24-hour city by 2050. Meanwhile, four new Metro stations have opened there and developers have poured into the area, constructing new offices, hotels, apartments, restaurants, and shops to replace the dated office parks that surround the malls. “Tysons has always had the element of work, but not live or play,” says Gary Block, chief investment officer at the Meridian Group, the developer behind the Boro, the biggest new mixed-use project in Tysons to date. The Silver Line’s arrival has attracted developments that dwarf more celebrated projects in Washington. For example, the Boro exceeds Amazon’s future National Landing campus in square-footage. In total, 36 developments have been green-lighted for Tysons. Here’s a look at some of the biggest, by Metro stop. Development: The View Size: 3.1 million square feet, in six buildings across nearly nine acres. Status: A bit unclear. Though Fairfax County has unanimously approved the plans, the developers haven’t announced a timeline. Reasons to go: Once it finishes, the development will include the Iconic office tower, which, at 600 feet high, will be the tallest building in Washington. Its glassed-in observation deck will be open to the public. Development: The Boro Size: 4.2 million square feet, in 12 buildings across 18 acres. Status: Its offices, apartments, condos, shops, and restaurants are mostly open. Reasons to go: The 70,000-square-foot flag­ship Whole Foods—with a food hall that includes outposts of Rappahannock Oyster Co. and Officina—has been open since October, and a 14-screen ShowPlace Icon movie theater debuted in February. Development: Arbor Row Size: 2.5 million square feet, in eight buildings across 19 acres. Status: The Nouvelle, a 27-story apartment development, is done, while condos and a senior-living facility are arriving in 2022 and 2023. Reasons to go: The Agora, a Middle Eastern restaurant, opened last year at the Nouvelle. A three-acre park with public art, a dog park, and walking paths to Tysons Galleria mall will begin opening in 2023. Development: Capital One Center Size: 5.2 million square feet, in 12 buildings across nearly 25 acres. Status: The second tower of Capital One’s headquarters opened in 2018, but a lot more is on the way. Reasons to go: An 80,000-square-foot Wegmans will arrive this fall. More than an acre of green space, called the Perch, will sit atop its parking garage, with lawn games and a beer garden. A black-box theater and performing-arts hall are opening next year. Development: Scott’s Run Size: 6.5 million square feet, in 17 buildings across 27 acres. Status: New apartments and offices are already open, while food and retail are scheduled to start arriving later this year. Reasons to go: Shipgarten Beer Hall and Food Court—housed in shipping containers—is slated to serve brews and barbecue this spring. The Archer Ho-tel, due in summer 2021, promises a restaurant by Charlie Palmer.

- [Chevy Chase](https://washingtonian.com/location/chevy-chase/) - By Cynthia Hacinli What to know right now about both the Maryland and DC sides Foodie Future Friendship Heights’ once glittering Collection at Chevy Chase lost a slew of luxury shops in 2017, when many decamped for CityCenterDC. Those departures, coupled with the generally unsteady retail environment, meant it was time for a reboot focused on . . . restaurants. Now the onetime status-brand shopping center is morphing into more of a food destination. The gluten-free Little Beet Table opened a few months ago. Later this year, Alexandria’s Junction Bistro, Bar & Bakery and another eatery, the Hunter’s Hound, are coming to the old Ralph Lauren store. And the California chain Urban Plates is taking over the Bulgari space. The new tenants are part of Chevy Chase Land Company’s $18-million revamp of the development, which included enhancing public plazas and constructing a small amphitheater for movie nights and concerts. The developer hopes a mix of long-term retail and pop-ups will fill some of the remaining vacancies. A few pop-ups have already arrived, including Whyte House Monograms, clothing store the Palm & the Ivy, and Patrick’s Fine Linens & Home Décor. Dog Fight Picturesque though it may be, Chevy Chase, Maryland, has recently been home to some ugly rifts. Resident Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the Supreme Court divided neighbors, with one woman reportedly shouting at the justice at the French restaurant La Ferme. But Kavanaugh isn’t the most controversial Chevy Chase figure. That designation falls to dog owners, who battled this past summer over a patch of land known as Brookville Road Park. After the town fenced in the area so people could let their dogs off-leash, authorities started getting complaints about loud barking and inconsiderate drivers. Information about the park was removed from the Chevy Chase Village website to keep outsiders from showing up. Then the hours were changed. Finally, the Chevy Chase Village Board voted to remove the gates enclosing it. These days, the park is back on the Village website—which states clearly that dogs must be “leashed and under the immediate control of their handler at all times.” Horse Fight Chevy Chase’s Meadowbrook Stables is more than 85 years old, so it’s easy to see how its users might want some upgrades. But a recent proposal to construct a new indoor horse-riding arena there has some locals champing at the bit, according to Bethesda Magazine. Opponents claim that the facility, which would be built in Rock Creek Park, would deplete home values, ruin views, and pose environmental risks. Perhaps equestrians are Chevy Chase’s new dog owners. Diner 2.0 To the dismay of a lot of locals, American City Diner, a Chevy Chase DC fixture for 30 years, closed in 2018. In the coming months, it’s slated to reopen as a branch of Sidekick, the Ballston bakery that’s an offshoot of the popular Ted’s Bulletin restaurants. The Connecticut Avenue diner’s retro train-car design will be incorporated into renovations, and the bakery will include a sit-down cafe as well as counter service. Owner Steve Salis—who’s behind Ted’s Bulletin, &Pizza, and Federalist Pig—says the establishment will have a Kramerbooks-branded component. Salis also owns the stalwart Dupont bookstore. Under Construction An enormous new mixed-use community called Chevy Chase Lake is rising around the future Purple Line stop near Manor Road and Connecticut Avenue. Phase one is scheduled to open by fall 2021, with two buildings comprising 280 apartments, 65 condos, and 80,000 square feet of retail. Residents will get the typical luxe amenities: fitness studios, a pool, coworking lounges, a pet station, and so on. More unusual: A garage with a whopping 850 parking spaces is also under construction. Part two, expected to finish in 2022, will come with a third building, 186 more apartments, and 154 additional parking spaces. The whole complex will have direct access to the Purple Line platform as well as the Capital Crescent Trail. New Spots Recent arrivals worth checking out: June B Sweet The chic candy counter—inside the stationery shop Write for You—specializes in Brazilian morsels known as brigadeiros, made with condensed milk and butter. 2807 McKinley St., NW; 202-686-7060.

- [Silver Spring](https://washingtonian.com/location/silver-spring/) - What you should know about the Montgomery County suburb right now. Net-Zero Hero After months of snarled traffic and construction dust, the biotech company United Therapeutics completed a high-profile expansion of its Silver Spring headquarters in September. Dubbed the Unisphere, the 210,000-square-foot, elliptical-shaped building is net-zero, which means it leaves no carbon footprint. It’s powered by a litany of eco-friendly technologies, including 3,000 solar panels, 52 geothermal wells drilled more than 500 feet into the earth, electrochromic glass that changes tint to increase or decrease thermal energy, and a thermal pool on view in its atrium. The Unisphere is the latest in a long list of projects slated to transform the face of Silver Spring. Several apartment buildings, mixed-use developments, and a hotel are still on the way. Dumped by Discovery After Discovery Communications announced last January that it would leave the place it helped revitalize in the early 2000s, Montgomery County set its sights on winning Amazon’s HQ2 to cushion the blow. A top Discovery executive even wrote to Jeff Bezos about the pros of choosing the area. That didn’t pan out, of course, so what will become of the old Discovery site once the company’s nearly 1,100 employees completely vacate the building? Developer Foulger-Pratt and private-equity firm Cerberus Capital Management bought the Discovery building in September. They recently secured a $97-million loan to reconfigure it into a space that can accommodate multiple companies. Several health-care tenants have reportedly expressed interest. Discovery will maintain a scaled-down presence at Silver Spring Metro Plaza, though the giant Shark Week head it became known for is presumably NYC-bound. New Brew Crew Since opening Silver Spring’s first successful brewery in 2014, the owners of Denizens Brewing Co. have successfully lobbied to erase restrictive local laws on businesses like theirs. The result? They’re not so lonely anymore. In October, Astro Lab Brewing opened on Georgia Avenue, featuring four to eight beers, meat pies, and a shiny industrial space. Silver Branch Brewing Co. is scheduled to debut early this year. It draws influence from Belgium, Britain and Ireland, Central Europe, and the Americas—and features a flagship beer for each of those regions. Right to Bike Silver Spring has gotten a lot more bike-friendly. Starting in 2017, Montgomery County began painting the dedicated green bike lanes that now crisscross the area. In the past year, more lanes have been added to Second Avenue, Spring Street, and Wayne Avenue. There’s also a special “protected intersection” at Second and Spring, in which rounded concrete barriers separate cyclists from traffic and encourage turning drivers and bikers alike to slow down. The design is one of the first of its kind on the East Coast. The Purple People Disrupter Construction of the Purple Line, now in its second year, isn’t scheduled to finish until 2023 at the earliest. When it’s done, the 16-mile route will include five stops throughout Silver Spring. But before residents get to enjoy the convenience, they’re weathering the disruptions. First, businesses in the Spring Center strip mall were forced out, then bikers and joggers saw much of their woodsy Georgetown Branch trail razed into logs. The Lyttonsville Place Bridge, a popular connector between Silver Spring and Chevy Chase, shut down for reconstruction in June and reopened only in January. And morning till night, people can hear—and feel—the tunnel under Arliss Street being excavated. Pizza Desert Armand’s went first. After 29 years of serving Chicago-style deep-dish out of its Silver Spring restaurant, the local chain shuttered the location—one of its only remaining two—over the summer. A few months later, Pete’s New Haven Style Apizza followed suit. Thankfully, help is on the way: Matchbox is opening a location in the Ellsworth shopping corridor early this year.

- [Potomac](https://washingtonian.com/location/potomac/) - [Dining] Sushi by Siblings Brother and sister Ken and Aki Ballogdajan have chosen Potomac for their third DC-area sushi spot. The owners of Kenaki Sushi Counter in Gaithersburg and Ako by Kenaki at the Roost food hall on Capitol Hill expect to bring Kema by Kenaki to Cabin John Village (11325 Seven Locks Rd.) by next March or April. According to Aki, the menu will be “heavy on the sushi and donburi side” (similar to their Roost spot), with some familiar favorites from Kenaki—which also dishes up small plates such as agedashi tofu and karaage chicken—sprinkled in. [Streetscape] New Names Over the summer, three streets in Potomac became the first to be rechristened as a part of Montgomery County’s Re­naming Review Project, which identifies streets and parks that are named after Confederate soldiers. J.E.B. Stuart Road and J.E.B. Stuart Court became Geneva Mason Road and Geneva Mason Court. Jubal Early Court became William Dove Court. The new names honor Black leaders from the Scotland community near Seven Locks Road, which was made up of formerly enslaved people. Geneva Mason was instrumental in the fight against urban-renewal efforts in the 1960s that threatened the community. William Dove, who was born into slavery, was a founding member of Scotland. [Dining] Fresh-Baked Over the past decade, the Pretzel Bakery on Capitol Hill has earned a cult following for its housemade sweet and savory pretzels, pretzel dogs, and Nutella-filled pretzel bombs. In early 2022, it’ll bring those same carby delicacies to the burbs, with a location in Cabin John Village (7961 Tuckerman Ln.). Fans of the original bakery can expect the same menu and vibe at the new outpost. Also coming next year to Cabin John Village: a second location for Boulangerie Cristophe (11321 Seven Locks Rd.), whose Georgetown locale turns out fresh croissants, baguettes, crepes, and other French treats. [Dining] Fish Tale Leesburg-based King Street Oyster opened its first Maryland outpost in March at Park Potomac (12435 Park Potomac Ave.). The restaurant’s fourth location took over a 4,000-square-foot space formerly occupied by Addie’s, according to WTOP. It also has ample outdoor patio seating. King Street promises at least ten kinds of oysters available every day, no more than 24 hours out of the water for East Coast varieties, and a maximum of 48 hours out for West Coast. Raw bars not your thing? The menu includes lots of other crowd-pleasing seafood dishes, such as crabcakes, gumbo, and a salmon BLT. [Culture] Autumn of Art There are several new reasons to visit the indoor/outdoor modern-art museum Glenstone (12100 Glen Rd.) this fall. The first solo presentation in Washington of works by Arthur Jafa debuted in September. Jafa is best known for films expressing the pain, beauty, and creativity of Black American life. His Glenstone exhibition includes film, sculpture, and photography. An exhibit of Canadian photographer Jeff Wall’s work—the artist’s largest show in the US since a 2007 exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art—opened October 21, with nearly 30 pieces spanning five decades. In November, Glenstone will al-so present a selection of paintings, sculptures, and other pieces by Vija Celmins, her first solo show in the area since 1979. In December, the third in a series of rotating exhibits by Charles Ray will debut, with works ranging in material from concrete and steel to hand-made paper. [Real Estate] Luxe Listing If Potomac is known for one thing, it’s mega­mansions, and a particularly high-profile one sold recently. After sitting on the market in the Avenel neighborhood for more than two years, the 14,000-square-foot home of auto executive Tammy Darvish closed for $4,675,000 in August, as reported by the Washington Business Journal. Originally listed for nearly $6 million, it features six bedrooms, seven and a half bathrooms, a wine cellar, and more than two acres of land. Darvish, former vice president of Darcars Automotive Group, which was started by her father, was most recently head of US operations for the auto-dealership chain AutoCanada. [Dining] On the Move Italian American spot Gregorio’s Trattoria, which already has a Potomac location in Cabin John Village, will add a second location at Park Potomac (12505 Park Potomac Ave.) late next year. Happening in early 2022: Yirasai Sushi will leave its Bethesda locale to take over the former Elevation Burger space at Park Potomac (12525 Park Potomac Ave.). In addition to a big selection of nigiri and maki, the restaurant serves such Japanese comfort fare as katsu, tempura, and udon. [Retail] Spring Arrivals In April, the local mini-chain Colada Shop opened its first Maryland location—and its fourth overall—in Cabin John Village (7993 Tuckerman Ln.). The brightly hued cafes are known for excellent Cuban sandwiches and, of course, piña coladas. In May, Cabin John Village filled another storefront, with an outpost of the DC-based cosmetics chain Bluemercury (7905 Tuckerman Ln.), purveyor of high-end skin-care lines, hair products, and makeup. [Real Estate] Rising Fortunes Before Covid made extra bedrooms, finished basements, and ample yard space top priorities for local buyers, the Potomac housing market was one of Washington’s snooziest. In 2019, the median home price there actually fell from 2018, and listings stayed on the market about two weeks longer, on average, than in the DC area as a whole. Today, the situation is drastically different. According to the multiple-listing service Bright MLS, in the second quarter of 2021, the median sale price in Potomac was $1,102,500, up by nearly 22 percent compared with last year. Listings, meanwhile, lasted an average of just 18 days, about three weeks less than the previous year. And the number of homes sold was up by more than 46 percent. [Retail] Pet-Friendly Park Potomac will soon get a veterinarian and an upscale pet boutique. Veterinary Park Potomac (12525 Park Potomac Ave.) and Elysiem pet shop (12500 Park Potomac Ave.) are expected to arrive by the end of November. Elysiem, which also has a Bethesda location, sells toys, all-natural foods and treats, dog clothing, and other supplies.

- [Bethesda](https://washingtonian.com/location/bethesda/) - Close to DC—with lots of walkable shopping and dining, luxury apartments and condos mixed among single-family homes, and good public transit—Bethesda is one of those places that can feel equal parts sub- and -urban. And while there have been some closures amid the pandemic, new destinations have continued to open. Here’s what’s interesting right now. Coming Soon(ish) Fans of the Riggsby, Michael Schlow’s throwback Dupont dining room (temporarily closed), will have to wait a bit longer to get their martinis, deviled eggs, and chopped salads at the Bethesda spinoff. The restaurant, in the former Kapnos Kouzina space (4900 Hampden Ln.), is still happening, according to Schlow’s restaurant group, but has been delayed until next year. A surer thing: Virraaj (4914 Cordell Ave.), an Indian restaurant that replaces the Eritrean Delina. Covid Closures George’s Chophouse, the elegant Cordell Avenue steak place from chef/owner Ashish Alfred, couldn’t survive the financial losses caused by the pandemic. The restaurant, along with its upstairs events space, the Loft, shut down this summer. Another Covid casualty: 40-year-old French bistro Le Vieux Logis, a couple of blocks away. For Yuppies and Their Puppies The well-heeled and the four-legged companions at their heels will soon have a new hangout called Bark Social, a “dog bar”expected to open in North Bethesda’s Pike & Rose development in October (935 Prose St.). For a$365 annual membership or a $40 monthly option, humans and their pets will get access to a private 25,000-square-foot indoor/outdoor dog park with a coffee shop, a food menu by Union Kitchen, and 20 self-serve taps dispensing beer, hard seltzer, and wine. Treats, ice cream, and CBD products for dogs will also be on offer (obviously). Bring Home the Beach Serena & Lily, the California furniture-and-decor line, debuted its first Mid-Atlantic shop, at Bethesda Row, in August (7121 Bethesda Ln.). We’re talking 3,000 square feet of the brand’s ubiquitous dip-dyed wood stools, Riviera rattan dining chairs, coastal-inspired textiles, rugs, and other accessories. In the interest of social distancing, the store is, for now, open only by appointment. Goodbye, Lord & Taylor Lord & Taylor was the only survivor when White Flint Mall was demolished five years ago, but its luck ran out this summer when the chain announced that it was filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and shuttering 19 locations—the North Bethesda outpost among them. The closure follows years of litigation be-tween the mall’s owners, Lerner Enterprises and Tower Companies, and the department store, which alleged that the owners had breached their contract by closing the surrounding mall. During Amazon’s search for a second headquarters, the land was briefly considered a contender for HQ2. Since that fizzled, no redevelopment plans have been announced. Quarantine Hair This past winter will no doubt go down as one of the worst periods in history to have opened a new storefront. But Madison Reed’s December debut at Bethesda Row (7254 Woodmont Ave.) actually appears to have been well timed. The chain bills itself as a beauty-industry disrupter, selling at-home hair-dye kits that fall somewhere between drugstore boxes and expensive salon treatments. Customers can upload photos of themselves if they want a virtual stylist to help them choose a shade and offer application advice. While you can have a real-life stylist color your hair for you at the brick-and-mortar locations, you can also simply use them to pick up your at-home kit (or have it shipped to you). The company became an MVP of the pandemic, reporting a ten-fold business boost in the first month of the crisis. Carbs on Wheels Call Your Mother, the popular “Jewish” bagel spot from the Timber Pizza team, expanded to Bethesda this summer with a cheerful pink-and-teal trolley. The mobile outpost has many of the same items as the DC locations—think wood-fired bagels stuffed with smoked salmon, pastrami, or whitefish salad. You can find the trolley hanging out in a parking lot by Suburban Hospital (8804 Old Georgetown Rd.). Street Food In the Covid era, snarled traffic is out, pat­o dining is in. Hence the advent of the “streetery”—closed-down streets transformed into additional outdoor seating for restaurants. In downtown Bethesda, you’ll find one operating along Norfolk, Cordell, and Woodmont avenues. Tables for diners to enjoy a meal from nearby restaurants such as Barrel & Crow and Raku are all spaced at least six feet apart, of course. Most of the streetery, which is run by the Bethesda Urban Partnership, has been operating daily since Montgomery County’s phase-one reopening in June. New Clothes When it’s time to wear real clothes regularly again, two new women’s stores will await in Bethesda. Johnny Was, a California fashion-and-lifestyle brand, has already taken over the former Lilly Pulitzer space at Bethesda Row (4867 Bethesda Ave.). At the Wildwood shopping center (10241 Old Georgetown Rd.), Indigo Octopus, a boutique from Fenwick Island with brands such as Golden Goose and Cleobella, arrived this fall. Let Them Eat Sushi Birthday coming up? One new way to celebrate: a sushi cake. Yes, for $150, the Friendship Heights restaurant Sushiko (5455 Wisconsin Ave.) will fashion a “cake” from enough sashimi, shellfish, and sushi rolls to feed two to four people. Thank-fully, the only sweets involved are the (easily avoidable) white-chocolate chips used for garnish. The creations are available for pickup with 48 hours’ notice. Dot-Com to Brick-and-Mortar Washington got its first Amazon 4-Star in August when the store opened on the lower level of Westfield Montgomery mall (7101 Democracy Blvd.). As the name suggests, the concept sells only items—as varied as books, games, Kindles, and coffeemakers—that have at least a four-star rating on the Amazon website. Lots of Vacancy The past six months have been brutal for Marriott International, the largest hotel company in the world. In March, at the start of the pandemic, it furloughed thousands of employees, including about two-thirds of the corporate personnel at its headquarters in North Bethesda. In May, Marriott announced that furloughs would be extended. And in September, the company notified the state of Maryland that it planned to lay off 673 workers from its HQ by the end of October. Even so, construction continues on its new campus—and adjacent 244-room Marriott hotel—on Wisconsin Avenue in downtown Bethesda, expected to open in 2022. Art and Park Downtown Bethesda’s newest mural comes from Baltimore artist Megan Lewis, who finished the piece wrapping around a parking garage (8216 Woodmont Ave.) in September. Some 50 artists applied to paint the structure—part of an initiative by the Bethesda Arts & Entertainment District—but Lewis’s colorful, commuter-inspired design won out. It’s the fourth mural since the initiative started in 2015. Double Scoop Bethesda was never hurting for sugar-fix options, but there are a couple of fresh frozen-treat shops on the scene. Sarah’s Handmade Ice Cream brings its extra-thick shakes, sorbet floats, and ice-cream sandwiches and pies to a second Bethesda location (10241 Old Georgetown Rd.) in the Wildwood shopping center. And a branch of the Baltimore-based chainlet Pitango (4901 Fairmont Ave.), known for spinning local ingredients into decadent gelato, debuted this summer.
- [Dupont Circle](https://washingtonian.com/location/dupont-circle/) - Washington neighborhoods tend to have a singular feel—either residential or commercial, tourist-centric or governmental. In contrast, Dupont Circle is a vibrant blend of local haunts and traveler attractions, historic homes and thriving nightlife. While much remains unchanged in recent years—including the area’s status as a center of gay life and host of the Pride Parade in June—there are also enticing new restaurants and shops that keep even longtime Washingtonians coming back.
- [Capitol Hill](https://washingtonian.com/location/capitol-hill/) - What’s New By Damare Baker, Daniella Byck, and Maya Pottiger [Dining] Roost Rundown Neighborhood Restaurant Group has been rolling out offerings at the Roost food hall (1401 Pennsylvania Ave., SE) since last fall, bringing a taco shop, sushi counter, New York–style pizzeria, low-ABV bar, and more under one roof. The cocktail counter Show of Hands is on the way, but you can join the tavern’s cocktail club now for monthly bottled-beverage drops. Earlier this year, chef Matt Adler opened the food collective’s standalone spot Caruso’s Grocery (914 14th St., SE), channeling Italian American red-sauce joints in the throwback dining room. The menu is filled with classics like spaghetti and meatballs, Nutella-stuffed cannolis, antipasto platters, and a limoncello martini. [Retail] Clean Sneaks Yes, a shoe laundry is a real thing, and Barracks Row got a pretty cool one last year. Sole Wash (427 Eighth St., SE) offers cleaning, restoration, and customization services for all athletic footwear. Owner Nichole Verdejo promises the perfect formula to clean up even the most battered, dirt-covered pair shoved into the back of your closet. While you wait for her to finish her magic, you can shop for new sneakers or look at the sneaker art on display. [Streetscape] Metro Makeover After years of community meetings and discussions, the Eastern Market Metro Park was finally finished in July. The redesigned subway entrance is now decked out with a playground, shady pavilion, and splash pad. As DC Council member Charles Allen told HillRag, the idea was to transform the area “from a place that you walk through to a place that you can walk to.” [Retail] Fab Fabrics You may have come across Kashmir Boutiques when the business comprised a couple of tents at Eastern Market and a kiosk at Union Station (all of which closed during the pandemic). But in July, the women’s clothing shop moved into its first storefront, right by Eastern Market (760 C St., SE), selling embroidered shawls, coats, wraps, and other items. The garments are all made of fabrics imported from the Kashmir region of India. [Sweets] DIY Dessert Sure, DC has a lot of cupcake shops, but Food Network champ Tiffany Lightfoot has put a fun DIY spin on the concept with her new bakery, My Cake Theory (325 Seventh St., SE), by Eastern Market. The Washington native offers a variety of cake flavors, fillings, frostings, and toppings for customers to mix and match into their own perfect cupcake. Think of it as fast-casual dessert. [Fun] Frisbee, for Free The District’s first-ever disc-golf course (between Oklahoma Ave., NE, and Lot 6) opened at RFK Stadium in Hill East over the summer. If you’re not sure what disc golf is, think of regular golf but with a Frisbee instead of clubs and a ball, and metal baskets instead of holes. Also unlike traditional golf, the course takes only about 45 minutes rather than half a day. Best of all, it’s free and you don’t need a reservation or a buddy to play. [Dining] Tasty Trio Hollis Wells Silverman, former chief operating officer for José Andrés’s ThinkFoodGroup, brought three new spots to the neighborhood over the past year, starting in December with the New American kitchen the Duck & the Peach (300 Seventh St., SE). The restaurant starts the day as a casual cafe with cinnamon rolls and Annapolis’s Ceremony Coffee, transitioning at night into a breezy dining room for plates of roasted duck and thinly sliced crudo. Two months later, Silverman unveiled the Italian osteria La Collina (747 C St., SE), slinging fresh pastas and Negroni spritzes under the patio’s string lights. The culinary hat trick was completed this summer with the opening of the Wells (727 C St., SE), a verdant spirits den pairing a menu of all-gin cocktails with caviar and potato chips. [Sweets] Double Scoop Outposts of two beloved ice-cream chains—both of which happen to be woman-owned—landed on the Hill last year. With flavors such as fresh ginger and honey-lavender at Moorenko’s (720 C St., SE) and “wedding cake” and “skillet cinnamon roll” at Jeni’s (526 Eighth St., SE), the choice is tough. [Dining] Italian Arrival Restaurateur Fabrizio Costantini moved all the way from Rome to DC to launch La Casina (225 Seventh St., SE), a Roman-style pizzeria near Eastern Market, with plans to open by the end of this year. Per HillRag, the menu will include a number of Roman dishes, such as stuffed olives and fried vegetables, in addition to the pies. It will reportedly have a full bar, too. [Retail] Great Gifts HoneyMade (727 Eighth St., SE), selling a variety of handmade gifts and apparel for adults and kids, opened over the summer on Barracks Row. Owner Moo Honey makes many of the fabric items, such as tea towels and cozies, herself. Other local products include shea-butter lotions from BAMI, candles by Handmade Habitat, and home goods from Naked Decor. [Community] Little Freebies Of all DC’s neighborhoods, Capitol Hill might be the best at leave-one/take-one spots. Though you can find Little Free Libraries all over the city, the Hill got a particularly elaborate version (E St. between 13th and 14th sts., SE) in June, built by resident Bert Kubli to look like a mini rendition of the Capitol Hill Village headquarters, also on the block. The District’s first Little Free Art Gallery(E. Capitol St. between Third and Fourth sts.) also arrived in the neighborhood this past spring. So far, it has featured everything from tiny replicas of famous paintings to stickers—all free as long as you leave a miniature artwork of your own behind. And since late 2019, neighbors have stocked the Little Free Food Pantry (16th and D sts., SE) with essentials for anyone in need. At this spot, the mantra is “Take what you need, give what you can.” [Streetscape] Art in the Wild A narwhal, an emu, and a koala are among the 20 animal sculptures hanging from lights and street signs around Capitol Hill. The installation, known as the Capitol Hill Alphabet Animals, came into being thanks to the Capitol Hill Arts Workshop. Though the first ones were installed in 2014, the rest finished going up only in summer of last year. See if you can spot them all while walking through the neighborhood. [Dining] Delicious Duo In summer 2020, chef Andrew Markert transformed the farm-to-table restaurant Beuchert’s Saloon into a sandwich shop, Fight Club (623 Pennsylvania Ave., SE), slinging options featuring housemade pastrami, buttermilk-brined chicken, and fried salami, alongside boozy punches and nostalgic snacks. Soon Markert will have another spot around the corner. He plans to open Newland (327 Seventh St., SE) later this year, serving Mid-Atlantic fare—pastas, Maryland crab, seasonal cocktails—in homage to his Baltimore roots.

- [Brookland](https://washingtonian.com/location/brookland/)
- [Columbia Heights](https://washingtonian.com/location/columbia-heights/)
- [Georgetown](https://washingtonian.com/location/georgetown/) - What’s new in DC’s famous neighborhood. By Damare Baker, Daniella Byck, and Maya Pottiger [Dining] Starr Power The vacant former Dean & DeLuca on M Street is now the future home of one of the District’s most anticipated new restaurants. In June, Stephen Starr, the restaurateur behind Le Diplomate and St. Anselm, announced plans to turn the space (3276 M St., NW) into a casual Italian destination and hinted that he may be partnering with revered chef and cookbook author Nancy Silverton (founder of La Brea Bakery in Los Angeles). The pasta-centric spot will also include a market for gelato and fresh pastries, a wine cellar, and a giant hearth in the middle of the dining room to bake bread and pizzas. Says Starr: “It’s going to be an event. It’s going to be a festival of food.” 10[Streetscape] Maiden Voyage In July, an 80-foot-long, 12-foot-wide, $1.5-million canal boat made its debut on the C&O Canal. The vessel, a modern reproduction of the historic packet boats that used to glide up and down the waterway, was the result of three years of engineering and construction. It’s a key piece of the Georgetown Canal Plan, a project to restore and enhance the neighborhood’s one-mile section of C&O Canal National Historic Park. For now, though, it’s just for looks. Passengers won’t be able to climb aboard until 2022. [Shopping] Wedding > House > Baby Got a big life milestone coming up? Three new Georgetown shops have you covered. In March, a DC couple opened Duly Noted (1355 Wisconsin Ave., NW), which creates custom wedding invitations and sells a variety of other stationery, cards, and gifts. The moderately priced modern-home brand Blu Dot (3333 M St., NW) is the latest arrival to Georgetown’s top-notch furniture scene. The M Street showroom is only its second East Coast location, after New York. Mini Me Little Boutique (3236 P St., NW) is a one-stop shop for luxe baby items, with a selection of vintage toys, upscale European wear, and self-care products for expectant moms like candles and body butter. [Fun] Better Than a Beer Garden What was once a gas-station parking lot is now a massive drinks garden called Sandlot (2715 Pennsylvania Ave., NW), pouring cold-pressed-juice cocktails in a utilitarian shipping-container bar. The venue highlights Black chefs and Black beverage producers, with a rotating residency for food trucks. Live music is also on the way—look for go-go, DJs, and jazz performances. [Shopping] Town and Country London’s Budd & Co. opened in a George-town rowhouse (2824 Pennsylvania Ave., NW), offering a number of popular British brands in one place: Bremont, Budd, Dunhill, Globe-Trotter, Santa Maria Novella, and Tusting. This is the spot for a bespoke suit or leather accessories. At the other end of the wardrobe spectrum, Faherty (3263 M St., NW) opened in April. The shop’s nautical decor matches its laid-back, beachy apparel. You’ll find designs for the whole family as well as items made in collaboration with Native artists Doug Good Feather and Bethany Yellowtail. [Dining] Mediterranean Markets After a fire closed the original location in Shaw, chef Cagla Onal-Urel reopened Green Almond Pantry (3210 Grace St., NW) in the micro–food hall Grace Street Collective. The 15-seat lunch counter offers focaccia layered with jammy tomatoes, creamy dips, and herbaceous bean salads, plus the addition of a grill to char branzino and lamb kofta.Snag bottles of natural wine and tinned fish from the restaurant’s market for a to-go spread. Meanwhile, chef Nicholas Stefanelli collaborated with Via Umbria owners Bill and Suzy Menard to bring a pop-up branch of his Wharf trattoria and market, Officina (1525 Wisconsin Ave., NW), to Georgetown. Stop by the cafe for a morning espresso and hazelnut biscotti or grab a table in the streetery for Italian classics such as veal cutlet and ricotta-stuffed ravioli. The market portion sells fresh pasta, imported olive oil, and vino. [Shopping] New Way to Shop The former Brooks Brothers store has transformed into a “retail lab”—i.e., a three-story space for a rotating selection of local pop-up brands. The 22,000-square-foot Concept 31/M (3077 M St., NW) currently features six brands: wellness shop Synergy & Serenity, jewelry store Kicheko Goods, Greek sandal maker Laiík, clothing shop Still Learning Co., fitness brand Flex All Day, and men’s outfitter Short Steve Button Downs. Each company has a designated space with its own checkout counter, similar to an indoor flea market. [Imbibing] Cheers! A pair of swanky new cocktail joints recently landed in Georgetown. Donahue (1338 Wisconsin Ave., NW), in the space that once housed Smith Point, comes from Fabio Trabocchi Restaurants alums Luca Giovannini and Cesar Valera plus restaurateur Noe Landini. Expect $14 cocktails and “chambongs,” the bubbly sibling to beer bongs, alongside seafood towers and caviar service. At the neighborhood’s western end, Clyde’s Restaurant Group opened the preppy cocktail bar and eatery Fitzgerald’s (1232 36th St., NW). Sidle up to the mahogany bar surrounded by vintage sports memorabilia for remixed versions of classic cocktails: brown-butter old fashioneds, lavender margaritas, and a cosmo mixed with pomegranate and apple shrubs. Pad the stomach with Korean chicken wings or a towering Peking-duck burger. [Dining] Bagels for Biden For his first restaurant visit as President, Joe Biden stopped at Call Your Mother’s Georgetown location (3428 O St., NW) for a sesame bagel with cream cheese. The “Jewish” deli opened its fourth location for wood-fired bagels last year in the neighborhood, in the bubblegum-hued Greenworks Florist building. You’ll find all the same favorites, including cacio e pepe cream cheese and sandwiches layered with Frito’s, at the pickup-only spot. [History] Preserving the Past Just before Juneteenth, DC congressional delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton introduced legislation to establish a federal memorial on the Georgetown waterfront honoring the enslaved Africans who may have arrived there in the 1700s. While a lack of documentation has made it tough to know for sure whether slave ships docked at the Georgetown port, research into the matter is ongoing. What is certain is that the neighborhood has many other connections to the transatlantic slave trade, including as a hub for slave auctions. If the bill passes, the Georgetown African American Historic Landmark Project will plan and establish the memorial. A precise location hasn’t been determined. [Streetscape] Parking vs. Pedestrians If you’ve taken a stroll through Georgetown lately, you’ve probably noticed it’s a lot roomier than it used to be. In January, the neighborhood’s Business Improvement District began widening sidewalks to accommodate more outdoor restaurant seating, and earlier this summer, the organization announced that it would significantly expand the Georgetown Decks project. As a result, there are now 15-foot-wide sidewalk extensions along M Street between 29th and 34th as well as along Wisconsin Avenue between Q Street and the C&O Canal. Of course, this also means that already-scarce street parking has become much scarcer. As a consolation, the BID is working with parking garages to offer discounts. The decking will be in place for the rest of the year but could stick around longer depending on feedback from visitors and businesses. [Real Estate] Julia Child’s Little Jewel The dramatic renovation of Julia Child’s former Georgetown home—which began in 2015—is finally nearing completion. Its current owner, software entrepreneur Rory Veevers-Carter, has documented the process on the Instagram account @jewelonolive. (The famous chef, who lived there from 1948 to 1961, called the house her “little jewel.”) Veevers-Carter originally planned to live there but told Washingtonian earlier this summer that he intended to list the house on Olive Street either for sale or for rent.

- [Fairfax](https://washingtonian.com/location/fairfax/) - Education | Power of a Name It became official in June: The former Sydney Lanier Middle School in Fairfax City was rechristened Katherine Johnson Middle School—now commemorating a Black NASA scientist instead of a poet who served as a Confederate soldier. Following the school board’s decision last September to change the name, more than 300 suggestions poured in. In November, the board chose Johnson (who was portrayed by Taraji P. Henson in the 2016 movie Hidden Figures). The renaming ceremony took place June 4, with Johnson’s family in attendance. Fun | Music in the Streets There are lots of opportunities to hear live music this summer in downtown Fairfax’s Old Town Square (10415 North St.). On the fourth Friday of the month through October, live performers, plus food vendors and a beer garden, take over starting at 6:30. Every third Sunday, also through October, acoustic acts set up for outdoor diners at the square’s restaurants. Culture | Writing on the Walls Historic Blenheim, a Civil War–era farmhouse, has long fascinated researchers thanks to its walls covered in graffiti left by Union soldiers. But until recently, thousands more scrawlings were concealed behind layers of paint and wallpaper. Enter Mike Toth, an Oakton specialist in multi­spectral imaging, the use of high-tech cameras to capture images hidden to the naked eye. Toth is in the midst of a project, funded by a National Park Service grant, to uncover the graffiti, and thus much more of the house’s history. Historic Blenheim (3610 Old Lee Hwy.) is currently closed to the public. Retail | Clothes and Coladas The first-ever “Bloomie’s”—a small-format version of Bloomingdale’s—is slated to open at the Mosaic district (2905 District Ave.) in August. With the decline of traditional malls and department stores, the new concept promises to be “highly edited” and “service-driven,” according to Women’s Wear Daily. It will have something else going for it, too: an outpost of the local mini-chain Colada Shop inside the store. The restaurant has applied for a liquor license, according to Eater, meaning customers should be able to sip mojitos and piña coladas while they shop. Retail | More at Mosaic The Mosaic district has a number of other recent and coming-soon additions. Among them: Gyu Shige Japanese barbecue, Urbano Mexican restaurant, Our Mom Eugenia Greek food, Framebridge, and Poffy (which makes sweets without major allergens). Two more eateries, the Italian Place and Urban Hot Pot, are also coming this summer. Dining | Coming Right Up The former Fairfax Surf Shop—a hub for local skateboarders housed in a 1920s building by Old Town Square—has been demolished, and a restaurant will replace it. Draper’s, an upscale American-style eatery from the Parry Restaurant Group—which operates a number of spots in other parts of Virginia—is slated to open by this fall. It promises plenty of outdoor seating overlooking Fairfax’s historic downtown. Culture | History Lesson An exhibit from the Virginia Museum of History & Culture will stop at the Fairfax Museum and Visitor Center (10209 Main St.) until August 30. “Determined: The 400-Year Struggle for Black Equality” explores the African American experience in Virginia through profiles of key individuals, evocative objects, and multimedia displays. Streetscape | On Point The former Fairfax Shopping Center (10342–10412 Fairfax Blvd.) has undergone a transformation into Point 50, a retail development that will be anchored by an Amazon Fresh grocery store. Other tenants include Orangetheory Fitness, Compass Coffee, Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza, and Organic Nails. Retail | New Brew The city of Fairfax got its first coffee roaster last fall, with the opening of Foundation Coffee (9650 Main St., #46) in an old warehouse behind Fair City Mall. The modern-industrial space roasts small batches of beans from locales such as Ethiopia and Colombia and features a full-service coffee bar. Owner Hae Kim told WTOP that opening delays due to Covid allowed him to put more thought into the interior, which his contractor dad helped build. Dining | More New Brew The Virginia chain Capital Ale House opened last year in Old Town Fairfax, inside the early-20th-century mansion (4069 Chain Bridge Rd.) that Hard Times Cafe once occupied. The restaurant has two big bars and four dining rooms, serving 100 beers on tap plus cocktails and an extensive bar-food menu. Retail | Scout It Out The mixed-use development Scout on the Circle (9450 Fairfax Blvd.) is getting two additional retail tenants soon: a location of the fitness boutique F45, which combines circuit and HIIT-style workouts, and the bubble-tea lounge TeaDM. The development, which opened last year, includes 400 apartments and a Giant supermarket. Streetscape | School’s Out Paul VI Catholic High School decamped from its Fairfax building in May 2020 for a new campus in Loudoun County. Now its former Fairfax digs are becoming a mixed-use community. Developer IDI plans to preserve the original 1930s high-school building and repurpose it as retail and restaurants, according to the Washington Business Journal. The rest of the 18.5-acre campus will include 144 condos, 115 townhouses (built by a different developer, NV Homes), nearly a mile of walking trails, a central green space called “the Lawn,” and two new retail buildings. Fun | Disco Summer Just for the season, Mosaic Skateland is operating at the Mosaic district (between Straw­berry Park and District Ave.). Skaters can take a spin around the disco-throwback outdoor rink until September 12. Admission is $15 for adults, $13 for kids, including roller-skate rental.

- [NoMa](https://washingtonian.com/location/noma/) - What you should know about the NoMa—right now. Going Green Over the past two decades, developers have turned NoMa from an industrial zone into a bustling neighborhood of offices, luxury apartments, and restaurants. One thing missing from the 50-block blueprint: parks. In an effort to add green space, the city granted the NoMa Parks Foundation $50 million in 2014. A year later, the foundation scored a plot at the corner of Third and L streets, Northeast. After years of public input and construction setbacks, NoMa finally got its first park there this past November. Named for what was once a 19th-century Irish neighborhood near the Capitol, Swampoodle Park has a section for dogs and another for children. On a relatively small parcel, it packs in both a dog agility structure and a “Wall-holla”: a Dutch-designed, vertical, maze-like structure for kids. (There are only six in North America.) In February, the parks foundation broke ground on a second park where the Metropolitan Branch Trail meets R Street, Northeast. Tanner Park, named after the woman who helped open the District’s first school for black students, will feature a playground, dog park, and events space on 2½ acres. Arrested Developments For the past few years, a group called the Union Market Neighbors—led by Chris Otten, a Ralph Nader disciple who actually lives across the city in Adams Morgan—has gone to court to block numerous luxury developments from rising in the area. Otten is known for his rambunctious appearances at zoning-board hearings. Many question whether he’s the “citizen agent” he describes himself as or an opportunist seeking profit from settlements with builders. Regardless, his group has appealed at least seven developments in the NoMa/Union Market area since 2016. But Otten lost two recent battles in the DC Court of Appeals, clearing the way for Ditto Residential’s 56-unit building at 301 Florida Avenue and Foulger-Pratt’s 1½-acre mixed-use project at 301 N Street. Circle of Strife Nicknamed for the Wendy’s that sits in the middle, “Dave Thomas Circle”—the traffic nightmare where New York and Florida avenues are forced to circumvent the fast-food joint in a hellish tangle of lanes and harrowing crosswalks—has caused at least 455 crashes since 2015. In years past, DC Council members have vowed to fix it. The District built a small roundabout meant to ease the flow of cars in 2010, but that did little to help. Mayor Muriel Bowser is the latest to weigh in, saying earlier this year that she’s committed to resolving the problem. How exactly she plans to do so remains to be seen. One inebriated motorist took matters into her own hands last summer when she drove into the Wendy’s at 3 am. Let There Be Light In October, the NoMa Business Improvement District opened “Rain,” the first of four light installations it has planned for underpasses from the NoMa/Gallaudet Metro stop south to Union Station. The design—a collaboration between California and Dutch architects—was chosen via an international competition with the goal of making the dark walkways feel safer and more inviting. “Rain” features 4,000 LED light rods that hang like icicles and respond to the movement of passersby. The next art park, “Lightweave,” is planned for the L Street underpass, followed by installations at K Street and Florida Avenue. But not everyone welcomed the lights. Advocates for the homeless fought against the first installation as the city forced out homeless encampments in the underpass to make way for construction. The NoMa BID argues that it has made other efforts to connect homeless residents with safer, more permanent housing. #NoMaQueerBeer Red Bear Brewing, DC’s first 100-percent gay-owned brewery, opened last month next to REI. The 7,000-square-foot space serves craft brews from more than 20 taps, has a dog-friendly patio, and boasts a Jeff Goldblum–themed bathroom decorated with sultry photos of the actor. (On Twitter, @redbearbrewing uses the #NoMaQueerBeer hashtag.) All for the ’Grams Chef Adam Greenberg just debuted his Instagram-centric Coconut Club in a warehouse on Penn Street, a block from Union Market. The vacation-inspired restaurant serves cocktails in disco balls, plays “Coachella-ish” music, features a tropical mural perfect for photo shoots, and has USB plugs along the bar to charge your iPhone. Coming Soon This spring, the coffee bar Sweet Science will move into a new apartment building called the Belgard at 33 N Street, followed by an outpost of the beloved Brookland pizzeria Menomale and Italian deli Salumeria 2703. In June, Union Market will get a Latin American sibling with the opening of La Cosecha, a food hall at 1270 Fourth Street highlighting the cuisine and culture of countries such as Mexico and Bolivia.
- [Annapolis](https://washingtonian.com/location/annapolis/) - [Dining] Coming Soon A new seafood restaurant, SeaSalt, is coming to the luxury mixed-use community Park Place (1 Park Pl., #7) early this summer, in the space that was formerly Fado. Owners include mixologist John Hogan, who will helm the bar, and chef Alfredo Malinis on the culinary side. The duo first worked together opening the farm-to-table small-plates/craft-cocktail lounge Level in 2009 (Hogan as part owner, Malinis as executive chef)—a time, Malinis tells us, when there was nothing like it in the Annapolis restaurant scene. “We’re looking forward to setting that bar again,” he says. Their third partner in SeaSalt, commercial real-estate professional Colin Lennon, will take a management role. [Imbibing] Wine Down In September 2020, already dealing with fallout from the pandemic, Great Frogs Winery (3218 Harness Creek Rd.) sustained yet another blow: A tornado tore through the property and took out part of the tasting room, forcing the business to shutter for months. May marks one year since it reopened. The newest wine in the Great Frogs collection? A bourbon-barrel-aged red, aptly named Onward. The winery is open for tastings on Saturdays, and reservations are encouraged for indoor seating. [Shopping] Flower Power After beginning as a build-your-own-bouquet flower truck, Peaceful Petals opened a brick-and-mortar shop in the Annapolis suburb of Severna Park (554 Baltimore Annapolis Blvd.) in 2020. You can assemble your own priced-by-the-stem bundle at the flower bar or choose a grab-and-go bouquet. This spring, the truck will do to-be-announced pop-ups around Anne Arundel County. [Dining] Splashy Arrivals After much anticipation, the old Fawcett’s building (110 Compromise St.) will finally welcome a restaurant this summer: Annapolis Choptank. (The building was home to Fawcett Boat Supplies for decades before that business moved out in 2010.) The waterfront eatery comes from Atlas Restaurant Group, which owns dozens of other spots in Maryland and beyond, including the Choptank in Fells Point. Like the original, the forthcoming location promises to be a “classic fish and crab house.” It will have seating both inside and out, including a covered rooftop bar with water views and dockside dining with fire pits and games. Also reportedly on the way: Andrew Fox and Devon Glaccum (linked to such local favorites as Fox’s Den and Vida Taco Bar) will take over the prime waterfront locale at Chesapeake Harbour (2020 Chesapeake Harbour Dr. E.), previously occupied by Sam’s on the Waterfront. According to the local NaptownScoop newsletter, the new restaurant will be called Beacon on the Waterfront and feature a “casual coastal” concept. [Streetscape] Spot Topic Parking downtown—ever the hot topic—is causing a bit more angst than usual, just in time for the season when locals have to compete with day-trippers for spots. Hillman Garage—a go-to for its proximity to Main Street and City Dock—is closing for reconstruction. Five other garages in the vicinity—Calvert Street, Gott’s, Knighton, Park Place, and Whitmore—will remain open, some with discounted parking, and the city has created a new website, Access­Annapolis.com, to help visitors plan ahead for parking. [Imbibing] New Brew RaR Brewing, which opened in Cambridge, Maryland, in 2013, will debut its second location, in West Annapolis, later this year. It will include a taproom (the Cambridge shop offers a rotation of more than two dozen beers on tap, including an American stout, a double IPA, a sour ale, and a hefeweizen) as well as a restaurant, complete with its much-raved-about Chessie Burger. The new space will occupy the address of the old Mexican Cafe (609 Melvin Ave.) but, according to the Capital newspaper, will undergo a significant remodel and partial demolition. [Streetscape] Big Picture Future History Now, a nonprofit that facilitates collaborative mural projects with kids in underserved communities, has been painting Annapolis walls and buildings since 2016. Its profile got a big boost in 2020 when, in partnership with the Banneker-Douglass Museum and the Maryland Commission on African American History and Culture, its young artists painted a 7,000-square-foot mural of Breonna Taylor across two basketball courts in Chambers Park (14 Dorsey Ave.). Since then, they’ve also painted a mural of late congressman John Lewis (95 West St.) and one of late Supreme Court justices Thurgood Marshall and Ruth Bader Ginsburg (156 South St.), among others. In total, they’ve completed nearly two dozen projects around the city. More about the murals is at futurehistor-ynow.org/projects. [Culture] Return of the Music Festival After a hiatus of two years, Eastport a Rockin’ and Bands in the Sand will be back this summer. Eastport a Rockin’ (eastportarockin.com), an all-day showcase of dozens of local bands on multiple stages, will return June 25, and Bands in the Sand (cbf.org/events)—the one-evening, beachy Chesapeake Bay Foundation fundraiser with its food-and-drink-inclusive tickets—is happening June 11. Check the websites to get tickets in advance. [Dining] Freshly Baked Black Market Bakers, the über-popular pop-up pastry truck whose lines wrap around the Chevys parking lot on week-end mornings, is getting a storefront. This flocked-to spot features a sweet-and-savory menu of breakfast sandwiches, avocado toasts, and a slew of rotating “specials” (think a cookies-and-cream bun, a lemon-drop “cruffin,” and a blueberry-maple scone), plus “classics” (an oatmeal cream pie and a cinnamon crumb cake, for example). The owners plan to open just south of Annapolis in Edgewater (155 Mitchell’s Chance Rd.) this spring, but you can catch them in the truck until then—and they say the truck pop-ups will continue even after the store is open. Check their Instagram page (@blackmarketbakers) for updated hours and menus.
- [Annandale](https://washingtonian.com/location/annandale/)
- [Wheaton](https://washingtonian.com/location/wheaton/)
- [Leesburg](https://washingtonian.com/location/leesburg/) - What you should know about the Loudoun County town right now. Cool School After a decade of planning, the Academies of Loudoun opened just in time for the 2018–19 academic year. The public STEM high school in Leesburg is the most expensive school ever built by the county, costing $125 million. Its inaugural class of 1,700 students has the run of the 305,880-square-foot space, which includes state-of-the-art research labs, glass-walled communal areas designed to spark collaboration, and individual work areas with professional-grade equipment. One reason for the Academies: to keep Loudoun’s brightest math and science students from leaving for Fairfax County’s revered Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology. Shakeup Loudoun County has more in common with California than wineries: In August, the US Geological Survey recorded a small but noticeable 1.3-magnitude earthquake whose epicenter was within five miles of Leesburg. The USGS says Virginia has had documented quakes for centuries, including infrequent larger ones. A Cyber Space Leesburg (and Loudoun in general) is working hard to outgrow its country roots to become a hub for the tech industry. City planners have invested in tech-centric coworking spaces and business coaching. Their efforts are paying off—take the Mason Enterprise Center, an incubator where entrepreneurs can access resources from George Mason University and the Loudoun Small Business Development Center. Another local success story is Cofense, which was acquired earlier this year by Pamplona Capital Management and BlackRock at a valuation of $400 million. The company, which makes anti-phishing software, just moved into a new 35,000-square-foot Leesburg headquarters. Seeking Silver Delays to second-phase construction of the Silver Line mean Metro isn’t scheduled to reach Loudoun County until 2020, but developers are high on the growth possibilities. (Stops in Loudoun will include Dulles Airport, Loudoun Gateway in Sterling, and an Ashburn station.) This spring, Rappaport bought the retail portion of the mixed-use Village at Leesburg, located on the busy Route 7 corridor and anchored by Wegmans. A 300-car park-and-ride is under construction on the site to provide locals easy access to the Silver Line. Meanwhile, Leesburg’s Town Council continues to consider allowing more housing developments nearby. Countywide, nearly 55,000 residential units are planned or being built. Still, some experts predict a housing shortage in Loudoun—the fastest-growing county in Virginia—by 2040. New Recipe Loudoun’s food scene is about to get a new destination, with ChefScape, a business incubator tailored to local owners of food trucks, catering companies, and other food-focused concepts just starting out. The 16,000-square-foot space will feature a commercial kitchen where its members can cook; event space for receptions, chef competitions, and corporate events; and eventually a food market with various vendors. It’s slated to open this fall in the building that once housed Smokehouse Live. Gone Fishing Lansdowne Resort and Spa, known mostly as a corporate meeting place, is aiming to appeal to those who want to commune with nature. It recently began offering everyone—not just guests—access to the Potomac River, with activities such as kayaking and fly and spin fishing that launch from the property’s shores.

- [Navy Yard](https://washingtonian.com/location/navy-yard-southwest-waterfront/) - What’s New Buzz on Buzzard Point Capitol Riverfront’s Buzzard Point, the peninsula at the convergence of the Anacostia and Potomac rivers,was until recently dominated by industrial and government uses. In 2020, the first residential developments began opening there, including the condos Peninsula 88 and luxury apartment buildings Watermark and RiverPoint—where a new restaurant, the Point, is opening in March. In February of this year, developers Akridge and National Real Estate Advisers announced the largest project yet for the neighborhood: the Stacks, a 2-million-square-foot mixed-use development that promises to connect the area to the Yards and the Wharf. When complete, the Stacks will comprise 2,000 residences, 80,000 square feet of retail and restaurants, as many as two hotels, and up to 250,000 square feet of office space, plus parks and plazas. A pedestrian path will run throughout the development. Construction will begin later this year, with the first four buildings slated to finish in 2024. Top Chef Acclaimed chef Jerome Grant spent four years helming the James Beard–nominated Sweet Home Cafe at the National Museum of African American History & Culture. But in 2020, he joined the modern-American spot Jackie (79 Potomac Ave., SE), which shares its outdoor space with Dacha beer garden’s Navy Yard location. There, he has developed a menu imbued with his Filipino and Caribbean heritage. You’ll find fried-chicken platters with Scotch-bonnet-pepper mustard, lumpia rolls, beer-spiked gumbo, and a cocktail menu that draws inspiration from the 1960s. Opening Days Since November, the city has used Nationals Park as one of its public Covid-testing sites. But on April 1, the Washington Nationals will take over, kicking off their home season with a matchup against the New York Mets. No word yet as to whether fans will be allowed in the stadium. And at Audi Field on Buzzard Point, DC United’s season is tentatively scheduled to start in April. Triple Threat In 2020, chef Michael Rafidi and sommelier Brent Kroll brought a slate of new spots to Navy Yard, starting with the Middle Eastern dining room Albi and an adjoining wine bar, Maxwell Park. At the restaurant, Rafidi draws on his Palestinian roots for a wood-fired exploration of the Levant, using Mid-Atlantic ingredients in a nod to his Maryland upbringing. Yogurt-streaked manti dumplings and lamb shank with pomegranate glaze are available to go or in the restaurant’s glass greenhouses. Later last year, Rafidi opened Yellow, a casual daytime cafe where Middle Eastern flavors are married with French patisserie techniques for treats such as croissants dusted with za’atar and honey halva lattes. (All three are at 1346 Fourth St., SE.) For Rent Capitol Riverfront has for years been DC’s fastest-developing neighborhood, and 2020 was no exception. Fourteen new residential buildings opened there in the past year, including the first phase of the Crossing, which will have 818 apartments when it’s complete, plus a 305-unit building called 10K, designed by starchitect Morris Adjmi. But for the first time in recent memory, luxe apartment prices are doing something other than rising. The pandemic has made fancy communal amenities like pools and fitness centers a lot less communal and has turned elevators and hallways into potential health hazards. As a result, rents across the city have dropped. Capitol Riverfront—where rents were down by more than 19 percent at the end of 2020, while vacancies were up more than 12 percent—was among the areas hardest-hit. It looks like a good time for a (relative) bargain: More apartments are on the way, including Coda on Half Street and the Europa, both expected to open this year. Bet on It Washington baseball and soccer fans will soon be able to gamble at games. In January, the Nationals announced a partnership with BetMGM, which will open a sportsbook outside Nats Park, at N and Half streets, this summer. At Audi Field, Fan-Duel has partnered with DC United to launch an on-site sportsbook for soccer fans sometime this year. Island Time With actual vacations still mostly on hold, diners can at least get a taste of sunnier locales at two new Caribbean-inspired spots. Former Maydan chefs Gerald Addison and Chris Morgan are manning the kitchen at Bammy’s (301 Water St., SE), bringing painkiller cocktails and conch fritters to the waterfront patio. Influenced by travels to Barbados, Jamaica, and Trinidad, the restaurant also serves its namesake bammy—a crunchy cassava flatbread. For all-day Puerto Rican cuisine, colorful La Famosa (1300 Fourth St., SE) offers sweet plantains in sandwiches, fried as crisp tostones, and smashed into classic mofongo. You can sip tropical guava drinks on the heated patio or channel the island’s festive holiday season with spiced-coconut coquito made in-house. Work It Out Kickboxing chain 9Round Fitness opened its first DC studio (1105 New Jersey Ave., SE) in Navy Yard this past December. Workouts involve heart-rate training, strength-building on a bag, and an abs-and-core station. There are no scheduled classes—instead, members rotate through the exercises on their own. Trainers are available to keep everyone motivated. New Digs After three decades in the basement of the Federal City Shelter building near Union Station, DC Central Kitchen announced in December that it will relocate to the RiverPoint development on Buzzard Point. The nonprofit fights food insecurity and trains people who need jobs in hospitality. When it moves in early next year, its students will work in a glass-enclosed kitchen so passersby can see them in action. The space will also include a cafe open to the public. For Your Quarantine Cut The 14th Street corridor’s Immortal Beloved salon—long a favorite of fashionistas—shuttered for good last year. But you’ll find several alums at Navy Yard’s Blackbird salon (801 Virginia Ave., SE, Suite 101), open since August. The shop offers cuts, color, extensions, and other services. Viral Trends The pandemic has been hell on the restaurant industry, but it has also led to some new dining trends. Case in point: ghost kitchens, carryout-and-delivery-only spots that often set up inside existing restaurants. One of them, Side Door Pizza, has been operating out of the Navy Yard restaurant Scarlet Oak (909 New Jersey Ave., SE) since October, hawking Detroit-style pies. Meanwhile, Swizzler food truck opened its first brick-and-mortar storefront (1259 First St., SE) next to Nats Park in November. Coronavirus limitations inspired the owners to switch to a takeout-only format, a shorter menu of burgers and fries—and, in keeping with another pandemic-era trend, contact-free ordering. Grab a Beer Ivy City’s Atlas Brew Works opened a second location in Navy Yard this summer (1201 Half St., SE, Suite 120). Just like at the original, the outpost by the ballpark brews lagers, IPAs, Pilsners, and other varieties on the premises. The taproom has anattached patio, where visitors can enjoy the beer and indulge in a pie from on-site Andy’s Pizza. Sweet Spot Beloved New York bakery Mah-Ze-Dahr (1201 Half St., SE) opened its first DC location in September, bringing cases of cookies, cakes, and croissants to the ground floor of the mixed-use development West Half. James Beard–nominated pastry chef Umber Ahmad is behind the delicacies, such as fluffy brioche doughnuts dusted with crushed vanilla bean and frosted cinnamon rolls. Public Art Last fall, local artists Kaliq Crosby and Rose Jaffe beautified the Pepco substation on Buzzard Point with a mural covering two sides of one of its structures. Their massive, brightly colored work includes portraits of famous Black Washingtonians Chuck Brown, Frederick Douglass, Marvin Gaye, and Eleanor Holmes Norton. You can see it for yourself at First and S, Southwest.

- [Rockville](https://washingtonian.com/location/rockville/) - What’s New A Widening War Take a stroll around Rockville neighborhoods these days and you’re bound to notice them: signs reading don’t widen 270 staked on front lawns. Residents are worried about governor Larry Hogan’s proposal to widen the highway, which they fear could require seizing private homes and businesses. As many as 1,500 properties are potentially affected by both the I-270 proposal and a similar plan to widen the Beltway, according to a Maryland Department of Transportation study. Hogan, though, insists no one’s house will be taken. The governor and his supporters point to projections that show traffic on the highways increasing by roughly 15 percent in the next 20 years—a headache that widening the roads could soothe. But they face a serious fight, with several local grassroots groups organizing protests and petitions as well as drawing up alternative plans. There’s No Place Like Home Main Street, a new residential building opening next year at Rockville Town Square, will cater a quarter of its units to adults with disabilities—making it the first apartment complex of its kind in Washington. The units will be wheelchair-accessible and come with special safety features, such as a technology that puts out stove fires automatically. The building is part of a growing national response to adults with developmental disabilities who face limited independent-living options. New Kid on the Block Rockville is now home to dueling Asian food halls. Each features a collection of eateries serving fusion dishes, often crafted to look as photogenic as possible for Instagram. First was the Spot (255 N. Washington St.), which opened about a year ago with a noodle bar and fried chicken. Pike Kitchen (1066 Rockville Pike) arrived at the end of last year, with Korean, Japanese, and Vietnamese stalls plus a hard-to-resist bakery. Now a splashy new addition, the Block, is slated to arrive by the end of 2019 at Pike & Rose. Larger than the original Block in Annandale, the hall will span 8,500 square feet, with seating for 300. Its eight vendors will serve a more varied spread than the other food halls, including Nashville hot chicken, poke, Thai food, and Taiwanese shaved ice. Like-Family Tree When news spread that the black gum tree at Belward Farm had died in July, Rockville residents past and present were devastated. The tree was more than a navigational landmark for drivers on Route 28; it was a stalwart presence in the daily lives of many—a majestic, massive-limbed tower standing on acres of farmland while the rest of Rockville grew and developed around it. The band O.A.R. (see page 185) even featured the tree on the cover of its 2003 album, In Between Now and Then. The tree’s demise, according to arborist Joshua Nadler, who examined it, was the result of excessive rain that contributed to root rot. A request has been made to Johns Hopkins University, the landowner, to plant a new gum tree in memory of the original. K-BBQ Invasion Even with Rockville’s abundance of Asian food, Korean barbecue in the area was limited to only a couple of options. But recent months have seen a mini-boom of tabletop-grill spots. An outpost of the Korean barbecue chain Honey Pig (12015-G Rockville Pike) opened about a year ago, and Mahdang Korean Restaurant (12300 Wilkins Ave.) and K-Pot Hot Pot & Barbecue (5550 Randolph Rd.) arrived off the Pike. Get Out the Vote In November, Rockville will become the first city in Maryland to hold a vote-by-mail election. Though one physical voting center will be open at city hall for those who prefer the traditional method, all registered voters will be mailed ballots so they can cast votes in the 2019 mayoral and city-council races from their homes. Officials hope the new option will boost participation.
