The Week Ahead…Hill East Burger and Han Palace Open…& Some Photos from the Past Week

Hill East Burger at 1432 Pennsylvania Avenue, SE, on PA Avenue SE, opens this week. 
Last Thursday night, owners of Hill East Burger took the place for a little test drive in the form of a very soft (unannounced) opening.  They expect to open for real early this week – Tuesday or Wednesday.  Restaurateurs Chris Svetlik (owner of Republic Cantina), Joe Neuman (owner of Sloppy Mama’s BBQ), and Ben Alt have teamed up to bring smoked burgers to the space formerly occupied by Wisdom at 1432 Pennsylvania Avenue, SE.  That’s Svetlik seated at the bar, on the left.
The place has retained some of the informality and funkiness which characterized Wisdom.  They even have a jukebox.  Svetlik designed the space – Neuman created and oversees the menu – Alt manages beverages and the day-to-day operations of the restaurant.  Kendrick Jackson is behind the bar.  Alt says their goal is to be open Monday through Friday, 5pm – 10pm with the bar closing at 11pm.  Saturdays and Sundays it will be 12pm – 10pm and 11pm for the bar.  Here’s a look at the menu:

Han Palace on Barracks Row Is Open.  The latest addition to the local chain, at 522 8th Street SE, in the space formerly occupied by Frame of Mine (before they moved across the street), held a soft opening on Saturday night and is now open daily, 11:30am – 10:00pm. 
The Han Palace Barracks Row website with menu is not up yet, but the restaurant offers dim sum, congee, standard Cantonese entrees, tofu and vegetables, Hong Kong roasted items, and noodles and rice.  According to Washingtonian, next week the restaurant will offer an all you can eat dim sum menu and bottomless mimosas.  Owner Chris Zhu is also behind the forthcoming Ginza BBQ Lounge & Karaoke Spot a few doors down the block at 526 8th Street, SE.  See Washingtonian piece here:   https://bit.ly/3C5fhHI
