The Week Ahead…and Some Photos from the Past Week

Sweet Crimes – the coming-soon gluten free bakery at 1238 Pennsylvania Avenue, SE – is showing promising signs of life in the kitchen.  For the gluten free, it can’t come soon enough. 

A new restaurant for Montmartre’s former space.  Here’s Chef Andrew Markert in front of the former Montmartre at 327 7th Street, SE.  In December, Markert – who is chef/owner of Beuchert’s Saloon/Fight Club – will open Newland, an informal restaurant featuring farmer-to-table elevated New American cuisine. The name comes from the Baltimore address where Markert lived growing up.  Eater DC has more here:  https://bit.ly/3CKSdNi

There’s also visible activity inside Harvest Tide, the steakhouse coming soon to 212 7th Street, SE, the former home of Acqua al 2, across from Eastern Market.  Executive chef/owner Danio Somoza brings dry-aged prime steaks, freshly sourced seafood, local produce and a casual atmosphere from the sister restaurant in Bethany Beach, Delaware. 

Last Monday night, ANC6A’s Transportation and Public Space Committee voted in favor of rank order preferences for the installation of bike lanes on the 1300 block of North Carolina Avenue, NE.  Six alternatives were presented by Will Handsfield, DDOT Bicycle Program Specialist.  DDOT is completing a continuous connection between RFK field, Eliott Hine MS and the larger Hill community.  The full ANC will vote on the preferred alternatives at its next meeting on October 13.  The committee voted for the designs in the order of preference below.  (For more, see GGW post by ANC6A Chair Amber Gove, here: https://bit.ly/3ucxDm5 )
