The Week Ahead…Highlights (Redistricting)…Some Photos from the Past Week

Sweet Crimes, the new Gluten Free Bakery at 1238 Pennsylvania Avenue, SE, is still waiting on DCRA permits but it had a trial-run soft opening on Sunday, October 21.  It opened at 9:00am, admitting a few customers at a time. At 9:30am, the line waiting to get in was 20 customers deep.  By mid-afternoon, they were completely sold out – nothing left but crumbs.. Some customers were waiting for baked goods still in the oven.  To see their soft opening menu with the of what’s to come, go here: https://bit.ly/3GHWOTs

Harvest Tide Steakhouse opened last Monday at 212 7th Street, SE, which used to be Acqua al 2.  And no, Harold Black – Acqua’s second floor speakeasy – has not been preserved.  It’s now part of the seating for 150 diners.  Go here for the menu:  https://harvesttidecapitolhill.com/menu

Down the Street at 225 7th Street, SE, La Casina Romana Pinseria, the pizza restaurant succeeding 7th Hill Pizza, inches closer to opening. 

The Eastern Market Community Advisory Committee, chaired by Donna Scheeder, met last Wednesday.  There was much discussion about the low priority MPD has given security at the market.  MPD says they would like to help and will if they can, but they’re just so busy, being shorthanded and all. 

She Loves Me Flowers opened on Barracks Row on October 16, at 721 8th Street, SE.  In addition to dried and fresh flowers to-go, She Loves Me sells houseplants and botanical based gifts.  Go here for their website.  https://shelovesme.com/pages/upcoming-events

She Loves Me Flowers doesn’t have signage yet, but it’s not hard to find.
