Good morning Georgetown, here’s the latest:

• Catching up with the K-Pop star who now goes to Georgetown.
• Background of the people behind Zannchi, the new Korean restaurant at Volta and Wisconsin (which is great!)

Good morning Georgetown, here’s the latest:

• It looks like you might have to take Dramamine before you walk into the Lilly Pulitzer.
• It was coming, but it’s still sad that Bistro Francais is now closed.

Tudor Place

Reminder: The Friends of Volta Park will be celebrating their 20th year with their annual spring cocktail party on June 10th. It’s always a great opportunity to come out and see (or meet) your neighbors and support a great cause.

The party this year will be focused on acknowledging the debt the neighborhood owes to the original board who organized and worked with the city to save Volta Park from decades of neglect.

So buy your tickets and come on out June 10th from 7 – 9 at Georgetown Visitation!

Last month, GM announced that the fancy French patisserie, Laduree, was almost certainly coming to 3060 M St.  Now it is confirmed, at least accord to the June ANC agenda. The agenda lists a sign approval for Laduree at 3060 M St., as well as some more goodies:

• Something called “Curio” coming to 1071 Thomas Jefferson St.
• Something called the “Shade Store” is coming to 3324 M St. (where Phogenpohl currently is, which is apparently moving to 3327, which is where the Fedex Store is. GM’s not certain all these changes will occur.)
• An “Escape Room” is coming to 3333 M St. These are cool event spaces that have groups come and try to solve a mystery in order to get out of the room.

The meeting next Tuesday at 6:30 pm at Georgetown Visitation. Continue reading →
