The party's over, the All-Stars have gone home (except for the three who already live here), and it's time to catch up on a few things that were easily missed during the five-day brouhaha.
*
HATOBA: The neighborhood will finally get a ramen outlet in early 2019, when Hatoba opens in the old 100 Montaditos space in the
Boilermaker Shops at the Yards. (You may have caught their pop-up with "Japanese hot dogs.")
Washingtonian has more about this fourth venture from the team behind Daikaya, Bantam King, and Haikan. (And apparently "hatoba" means "dock.")
*
EL BEBE: There's finally an official replacement for Open Road as Circa's sibling in the ground floor of the
99 M office building at 1st and M, and that's "El Bebe," which is billing itself as "tacos and tequila."
Eater DC has more, including that both Bebe and Circa are shooting for a "late
2019 2018" opening. {fixed my own typo}

CAPPER MEETING: The DC Housing Authority is
having a public meeting to give an update on the status of the Capper/Carrollsburg redevelopment on Wednesday, July 25, at 7 pm at the Capper Community Center, 1000 5th St., SE. I imagine this will discuss the remaining three blocks of the redevelopment footprint, which are planned as mixed-income residential buildings, including
one condo building, if that is still on the boards. (
UPDATE: The 25th is the correct date, but the flyer called it Tuesday instead of Wednesday. Waiting for an updated flyer.)
