Kitty Kelley Gets Proper…

don't look too closely in her eyes. seriously.

…Topper that is. Tomorrow Georgetowner and gossiper-in-chief, Kitty Kelley, will be appearing at Proper Topper (at 3213 P St.) from 2:00 to 4:00 to chat about (and sign) her new book, Oprah: A Biography. The best part, all proceeds will go to benefit the Georgetown LibraryPeabody Collection. And that’s a cause worth gossiping over any day.

ANC May Preview: Drink Up Edition

ANC2E will meet for its May session next Monday night at 6:30 at Visitation. If you like long discussions over liquor licenses, this is your month. Oh and streetcars!

License Renewals

Eleven establishments are up for liquor license. The ANC is planning on discussing four of those restaurants: Riverside Grille, Il Canale, Cabana’s, and Tony and Joe’s.

In addition, the ANC wants to discuss the voluntary agreements of George nightclub and the new Crepe Amour/Georgetown Wing Co. Apparently George is asking to terminate or modify its VA (good luck with that). Crepe Amour/Georgetown Wing Co. has undergone a substantial change (it used to be Amma’s Vegetarian Kitchen) so they’ll have to get their VA changed accordingly.

Finally, there will be an update of the ANC’s vote to ask ABRA to reconsider the single sales ban waiver that the agency granted to Dixie Liquors. Continue reading →
