LeDroit Updates
We’ve been remiss in posting lately, but we thought we might share with you some neighborhood updates.
Over at First Street and Rhode Island Avenue in Bloomingdale, Rustik Tavern just opened, offering the holy duo of pizza and beer. We went there after the last LeDroit Park Civic Association and though it was unbearably loud, it did serve good beer and good pizza.
Speaking of the LeDroit Park Civic Association, September’s monthly meeting featured the proprietor of Zee’s, the new restaraunt opening on Florida Avenue across from the LeDroit Park arch. It will open any day now and will offer Trinidadian cuisine. The owner has come here by way of New York and we welcome his investment in the area. What will his restaurant serve? Well, we’re not sure what constitutes Trinidadian cuisine, but when it opens, we’ll be sure to find out.
On the southeast corner of Sixth Street and Florida Avenue, the property we wrote about earlier is nearly finished with its renovation. There’s no word yet on any potential lease or if the owner himself will open a tavern. We’re still looking hopefully at the building nonetheless.
Thanks for the updates. The link for Rustik Tavern is incorrect (that one’s in NY). The correct link is:

‘preciate the news — thank you. Any update on Simon’s? Word on the street is that he’s not going to reopen. Any truth to the rumor?
