Metro Issues Florida Avenue RFP.... Again

The Washington Business Journal has the scoop on Metro's decision to issue a new RFP for the sale of its Florida Avenue Parcels (on the south side of Florida Avenue between Seventh and Ninth).  Here is a link to a PDF of the RFP, which was issued yesterday.

Dickson Wine Bar Opens

Last Friday night on a whim, a few of us popped in the newly opened Dickson Wine Bar for a quick drink. As a result, I officially have a new neighborhood obsession: the small, cozy, and modern three level establishment is really cool. Featuring communal seating, the place has a really friendly vibe (it kinda reminded us of restaurants in Chicago that we adore, The Bristol and avec). The wine list is approachable and not too pricey, and the food selections all look tasty (think meat/cheese plates, flatbreads, desserts and the like -- I only looked quickly, but it does not seem like a place you'd go for a huge meal).

The Prince of Petworth posted a preview of the long-anticipated wine bar last week.
