Scuttlebutt:  A source reports that the former Capitol Hill Tandoor and Grill on Barracks Row has been purchased by a restauranteur who intends to put in an Ethiopian restaurant.  CHC has been unable to independently confirm.

Scuttlebutt:  Likewise, a source reports that the empty space next to Dunkin’ on Barracks Row is being built out for a bar and hookah bar.  Barracks Row has one hookah lounge – Café 8 – and H Street, NE, has a couple – Nomad and The New Elroy Bar. 

Olga and Manny’s Pizza has their sign up at 1430 Pennsylvania Avenue, SE.  Olga and Manny’s Pizza has their sign up at 1430 Pennsylvania Avenue, SE.  Here’s a link to the menu at their H Street, NE, location.  https://www.mannyandolgas.com/menu

Their build out has a ways to go, though.

Just next door is the future home of the smoked burger: Hill East Burger – both are a few doors down from Trusty’s. 

Hill East Burger’s build out is coming along.  A hoped-for September opening looks unlikely.

Last Friday night, the Too Much Talent Band brought R&B to Eastern Market Metro Plaza.  Friday night live concerts will continue through the end of the month.  Brian Ready, Executive Director of Barracks Row MainStreet says he wanted to “mix it up a little” regarding what until recently had been Friday Night Live Jazz at Eastern Market Metro Plaza.
