    May have gotten a Google boost with recent activity but here's how I find everything within DR ... https://www.google.com/search?q=donrockwell.com+il+canale&oq=donrockwell.com+il+canale&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i60l3.7389j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 Search "donrockwell.com (name of restaurant)"

    Mix in Potomac closed (Joe Zimmermann, Bethesda Magazine, Published: 2018.02.19 03:31)

    Sad news. Carnage in the Montgomery County restaurant scene so far this year.

    Yeah, what they're aiming for here is basically Maketto (with fewer shoes and more baguettes). And I frickin love Maketto.

    (this is not a shot at the place itself -- and this move is probably very wise considering the nature of the food industry right now but) A bakery with a cocktail list is so very post-gentrification urban life.

    Closing February 3rd

    Royal Farms

    And no Rose's in the top 25. Interesting. I give Spiegel and co. credit for not simply sticking with the orthodoxy.

    Tom Sietsema writes for 70 year olds. And young people don't know or give a shit about Ann Cashion. No offense to all parties above.

    The skating rink has been a big draw this Winter. When it warms up, the boat ride past the Tidal Basin. Visiting families are always looking for something to combine eating/scenery/shopping in post-Museum pre-bedtime for kids. The Wharf will be mobbed by vacationers and regional visitors this coming Summer.

    It's downtown Silver Spring so I'm not holding my breath
  12. Kev29
    Yes. It will/has for a lot of places in less fashionable areas, particularly the suburbs. Hot, well reviewed and nationally known places like P&P are largely safe from any burst.

    I wouldn't open anything other than a Wawa west of 14th Street
  14. Kev29
    That's good to know. Mrs H and I had given up on The Wharf pre-Anthem (at least until it fills in more) and got dinner/drinks uptown the last couple times we went to shows.

    That location was demolished as part of the Pike rebuilding plan and the franchise agreed to a spot in Pike & Rose -- which they've now left. So Old Georgetown to Pike & Rose is a move then a closure.

    I can order Papa John's on my phone, fully paid-for, with tip + any discounts applied in a minute and have it delivered to babysitter and kids in about half an hour. That's super convenient but I'm going to do my best to avoid them and support local businesses.

    Went about a month ago and it was a shadow of its former self (which I was expecting and would not have gone had it not been for a birthday destination not of our choosing). Rushed, cold service. Sit-down chain level food. I was actually surprised that the dining room was as (half) full as it was. Drinks at the bar pleasant enough and that space still has some potential. Shame it's now facing that horrible, depressing transit center and not a more vibrant development.

    -- LOL yeah he's out. They're just trying to placate loyal fans.

    From Popville: "Update: Chef Teddy Folkman will remain a partner." If he's running the kitchen, maybe the food will stay largely the same (as they state). I can see your worries re: Queen Vic and food. It's a fun pub but the food over the years has been a weak spot.

    Sounds lovely. And while that location is a super quiet one outside of commuting hours, it's definitely convenient for me. I hope this all works out, though I'm not sure Silver Spring will be able to support three breweries (Denizens + Astrolabe coming soon).
  21. Kev29
    Interesting choice of location. Though, somewhat surprisingly, the Dupont area is relatively lacking in nice bars to get a good beer (yes Paradiso is wonderful but super cramped)

    Went tonight and really enjoyed our large cheese pie. Quick warm up in the oven after the drive home and the slices were excellent. The dough has the right amount of savoriness (read: there is actually a bit of savoriness, it's not bland or sweet). I'd say it's the most NYC-like in the area, and probably the best for the style. I really like Wiseguy too but their pies can be a bit on the heavier side, more of a substantial crust. I'd go a lot if it was closer. As for the lack of crowds, it's a concept that would probably work really well in the city, with the higher transplant rate and more people who think a lot about their casual food. But I know Jon and Ankur aren't wanting to pay high transplant city rents :-) Or maybe they just need to get people in Rockville addicted to this NYC pie. They certainly did that with their VPN pizzas at CS.

    Thanks for the reminder - I'll stop in tomorrow. Maybe the summer is tough in that location. Richard Montgomery starting the school year in a few weeks could help.

    There's an Ale House on the Pike in Rockville too, by Congressional Plaza. I've been once, and have been to Ale House locations in Central Florida too. It's basically a Chili's with more beer and without the SW influence - or a breastaurant without the breasts. Probably an option for people who feel Matchbox is too poncey and pricey. WYSIWYG. Literally, there are a lot of pictures on the menus.

    "Pro-Trump TV Pundits Took Undisclosed Payments from Trump Campaign" by Paul Farhi and Matea Gold on washingtonpost.com Not bad for a few weeks of "consulting" work
