So here it is, after all that hullabaloo, the Apple Store is finally open. Now that the crowds have died down a bit, we can go in and judge how it all came together and compare the results back to plans.
First the exterior:
Here’s the exterior. As demanded by the Old Georgetown Board, the exterior seems to melt in with the Victorian commercial buildings around it. If you didn’t know it was built in 2010, you’d be excused for thinking it was built in the 1880s. Continue reading

Yesterday’s Georgetown Current contained an article discussing the decision by the ABC Board to expand the available liquor licenses within the Georgetown Moratorium by seven. ABRA officials had previously stated that the licenses would be issued on a first-come-first-served basis. The Current listed the seven parties who have applications pending and thus who are likely to take home the new licenses. Some are familiar faces, some are new, and others just left GM a little confused.
Bill’s Bar & Burger – 3347 M St.
That’s the old Philadelphia Cheesesteak Factory Building, so it would seem a new tenant has been found. It also seems that this is related to a bar with the exact same name in the Meat Packing District in New York. So like Serendipity 3, it would be a DC outpost of a NYC establishment. Given the lackluster appearance of the burger on the restaurant’s own website, GM is not too excited for this arrival.
Tackle Box – 3245 M St.
This is no surprise. Jonathan Umbell has been trying to secure a license for Tackle Box for quite some time. Hopefully you’ll be able to enjoy a beer with your lobster roll soon.
Puro Cafe – 1529 Wisconsin
A recent arrival to the upper Wisconsin Ave. neighborhood, Puro Cafe has received positive reviews. The only sticking point GM can foresee is if they want to serve drinks in their backyard late at night. Since that backs up to residences on Q St. and 32nd, those homeowners might object.
