Thanks to Jodi for the update: “Signage is up- looks beautiful inside. They must be close as they’ve been having staff meetings.”Three days ago, I signed a Letter Of Intent on a two storey building in Washington DC. I plan to build a Minetta Tavern there.
This beautiful corner building is in the most diverse, and least corporate district of DC – Union Market. It reminds me a lot of Manhattan’s Meatpacking District 20 years ago. Laurent Kalkotour, the chef of New York’s Minetta, will be my partner in the new project, as will be my long term ally and Director of Operations, Roberta Delice.
The new Minetta Tavern will have a similar menu to New York, but not identical. The look and the feel of the DC restaurant will be the same, if not better. DC’s Minneta will also have a sensational private dining room and a secret roof bar.”Open air festival with over 30 small businesses, fall activities, autumnal foods, and live music. Great for families and folks looking for a deal.
