DonRocks Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Is there a website that shows the newest openings for restaurants (and retail for that matter) in the area? Back when I was updating this thread once a quarter, I was using a combination of this website and Metrocurean; now, your best bet would be to use a combination of this website, Eater, Washington Business Journal, and diningindc.net. But there's also a blog where the blogger swears he's going to eat at every new restaurant in DC. I can't remember the name, but that will probably serve you best of all.

cheezepowder Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 New restaurant openings would be a great idea for a running thread. Folks could post when they hear about openings, and I'd be willing to keep it updated with openings as I hear of them. Don, if you'd like, I can start a thread in the Restaurants forum or wherever. For example, here are recent openings: Just opened Daikaya Izakaya 705 Sixth St, NW Website (but doesn't currently have Izakaya info. Hours can be found on Facebook). Donrockwell thread. La Tagliatella 2950 Clarendon Blvd Website Thread Fat Shorty's 3035 Clarendon Blvd Website Thread The Grill Room. Rye Bar. Both at Capella Hotel 1050 31st St, NW Website no thread yet but see this post Upcoming GBD 1323 Conn Ave. Opening today at 8 am Website Thread Le Diplomate (new Stephen Starr restaurant) 1601 14th St. They announced that they were taking dinner reservations starting on April 12 Website No thread yet Matchbox in the Mosaic District - Opening on April 12 Website Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheezepowder Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 And the other fried chicken and doughnuts place, Astro Doughnuts, is opening at 8 am on Monday at 1308 G Street. I'm on my iPad so can't do links but their website is http://www.astrodoughnuts.com/ http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/going-out-guide/wp/2013/04/05/astro-doughnuts-fried-chicken-to-open-monday-april-8/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hdean Posted April 5, 2013 Author Share Posted April 5, 2013 The question was sparked by this website which focuses on the ATL area . It has a strong following Check it out; http://www.whatnowatlanta.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheezepowder Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 hdean: I'm not aware of a site like that, which consolidates restaurants and retail news. It looks very useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveO Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 @hdean: There is another site in Atlanta that covers all that information. It was the original of its kind: http://tonetoatl.com tomorrows news today, Atlanta. The twitter acct is @tonetoatlanta Several years ago I found out about it from an old friend, the father of the author. When I saw your reference, I went to that site, thought it looked exactly like what was originally done by my friends son...but found it under the name of another author. Strange indeed. If you live in Atlanta, live in DC and Atlanta, follow both and decide which information is more accurate and which is more artificially self serving.
