- It’s decided. 1612 14th St NW will become Pearl Dive Oyster bar downstairs. Upstairs will be BlackJack, a bar with a bocce court. Nice one from Metrocurean.
- Ben’s Chili Bowl gets a veggie dog. DCist has a sexy, sexy, vegetarian video.

- Anyone know about Chuck’s Wagon BBQ on H Street? Prince of Petworth points this out (and takes this pic), and now I’m curious too.
- Harris Teeter will open in NOMA in December. Stoked to have groceries at 1st and N NW.
