Georgia Avenue to Get New Sit-Down Restaurant
Neighborhood dining options have been sparse near the Georgia Ave-Petworth Metro station, which opened in 1999. But this summer, a 1920s-themed restaurant called "Temperance" will open one block south of the Metro at 3634 Georgia Avenue. Developers and Columbia Heights/Petworth residents Robb LaKritz and Josh Adler have teamed up with Joe Englert, owner of the Capitol Lounge and numerous other restaurants and bars in the District.
Temperance will feature antique wood fittings, booth seating and ceramic tile floors. With brunch on weekends (including a senior discount), a children's menu, and a non-smoking dining room, the Petworth neighborhood will have a new gathering place.
"This is only the beginning of a very exciting year for Petworth, Park View and North Columbia Heights. The partners in this project are truly top-notch, and we all appreciate them taking the community's desires and concerns into account." said Councilmember Jim Graham (D-Ward One).
Temperance is scheduled to open in June.

Wow, I can't wait to find out what the other surprises are. Does anyone have any leads?
