Just when I think I've seen every mathematical permutation, now there's this one. This thread will remain "Raku" for Bethesda and Cleveland Heights, and a new thread for Rakuya will be opened for the rebranding of the Dupont location; had there not been multiple locations, this same thread would have been used for Rakuya.
PoPville reports that Rakuya (concept change for Dupont Raku) has opened. Rakuya's Facebook page lists the Raku website. Neither the Facebook page nor the Raku website have been updated to reflect Rakuya's opening.

Yeah, well, guess what?
It's now Flamingo Ethiopian Restaurant.
Someone has more free time than brains.
From their website, seems like they kept Toscana and now call themselves "Toscana Flamingo Ethiopian & Italian Restaurant."

Was their avocado toast a crostini? Did you ever have Ron Tanaka's at Cork Wine Bar? It was wonderful - slices of fresh avocado on lightly grilled bread with a little olive oil and sea salt. Is this what that was?
Yes, I've had the avocado toast at Cork - both in the early days as well as recently (it's still on Cork's menu). The avocado toast at Marta and Craft were along the same lines. A slide of bread, toasted, with avocado though at Marta and Craft, the avocado was in the form of a spread/mash while Cork's version has thin slices of avocado.
At Marta, the menu description for their avocado toast is "Whole Grain Toast, Fork Crushed Avocado, Chili Flake, Olio Verde" - $9. The avocado topping needed some salt.
At Craft, the menu description for their avocado toast is "radish, pea shoots, pickled jalapeno, cilantro" - $13.

Well, I was at Craftbar recently for brunch, and I see that the last post in this thread was from me over 3 years ago. I guess Craftbar continues to be one of my go-to places in NY.
I really liked their avocado toast, which was more flavorful than the avocado toast I had earlier that day at Marta.
I also really liked their toast with ricotta, fried shallots (like fried onion strings), and asparagus.
I got the meatballs, which I wrote about above, and I still enjoy. This version was meatballs in sauce with garlic toast.
