The Underground going out of service to make way for Belgian-themed St. Arnold’s the Abbey
“It’s the end of the line for the Underground at St. Arnold’s Cleveland Park. The London-themed basement bar and sibling of the six-month-old mussel bar upstairs will be closing in late July or early August. But the space isn’t going out of service for very long, said St. Arnold’s operating partner Mark Moore: By Aug. 15, the digs will reopen as St. Arnold’s the Abbey, with a Belgian theme replacing the British.”

Fate of Cleveland Park Farmers Market in DDOT’s Hands
“It seems as if the fate of the Cleveland Park farmers market has been sealed. The ANC voted last night 4-2 not to support the market (see voting record below). Brookville Market made the argument that the farmers market would actually put them out of business and this seemed to scare enough commissioners away from supporting the market.”

Pulpo: Tentacular
“We talk about Cleveland Park a lot here at Eat The District. Maybe too much. But the commercial stretch of Connecticut Avenue betwixt Porter and Macomb is truly a culinary gold mine. Establishments such as Ardeo-Bardeo, Ripple, Medium Rare, and Palena would deter some restaurateurs from jumping into this packed culinary environment. But just a few weeks ago, owner Dino Tapper (also of Logan Circle’s Floriana) brought his newest creation, Pulpo, into the mix. I am happy to report that this Cephalopod focused Tapas spot does not disappoint.”
