A new chocolate shop is coming to the former American Holiday shop at 1321 Wisconsin Ave. The store, L.A. Burdick, sells a variety of high end chocolates and other sweets. They have five locations, having started in New York, but moved to Walpole, NH, as one does. Continue reading →

Good morning Georgetown, here’s the latest:

Wit the completion of the newest mural in Georgetown, GM thought it would be nice to run through the other murals around the neighborhood.

The next mural is on the side of Just Paper and Tea at 3232 P St. It was painted in 2015 as part of a Shop Small event. It was painted by Aniekan Udofia. Continue reading →

• How responsible is a child for his father paying $400,000 to bribe his son’s way into GU?

The Georgetown cat cafe, Crumbs and Whiskers, will be moving its primary location from its original location at 3211 O St. to 3101 M St.

The M St. location is already the site of the store’s temporary kitten cafe pop-up. When that pop-up ends, the full cat cafe will consolidate there. Currently the pop-up is scheduled to run through June, so likely by July or August to O St. location will close.
