Duffy's Irish Restaurant Opening Soon

UPDATE: Duffy's grand opening is now slated for the weekend of May 12.
Back in September I wrote about Duffy's Irish Restaurant and Pub, which was struggling to get a liquor license for its Vermont Avenue location, just across from the 9:30 Club and around the corner from The Rhapsody, a new luxury condo building.

The owner's campaign for a liquor license finally proved successful, and the restaurant's Web site is heralding an April opening. That leaves only six days for the new spot to open its doors (that is if it hasn't already), but restaurant openings are practically impossible to predict, so keep an eye out in the coming weeks. The Web site also shows a few interior shots (below) of the construction.

On the menu are some Irish classics like fish and chips, lamb stew, shepherd's pie and corned beef and cabbage, along with Americanized pub grub like buffalo wings, chicken tenders, potato skins and burgers.

Give Metrocurean a holler if you check it out.

Hey, that's what I'm excited about. Cue has giant televisions, but they seem mostly out of place, since you're not really angled to see them when you're sitting at the bar.

Latest word is they are waiting for some inspections and hope to open in the next few weeks.

I'm into condos which stand with restos and pubs in between floors. The salcedo village apartment I used to stay to have the nearest access to parks and gardens with food stalls, and I loved the independence I had there!

ENTERTAIN } For The Love Of Salt

Image
I'm bidding a reluctant adieu to summer on this first day of fall and looking back with fond memories on one of the season's highlights — our Summer Salt Fest at the Gordy's Pickle Jar headquarters. Ever since opening Salt & Sundry three years ago, I've been dreaming of a down-home party that celebrates all things salty. With the perfect partners in crime, Sarah and Sheila of Gordy's, and my phenomenal team at Salt & Sundry, we hosted a gathering of good friends and toasted our shared love of salt. The feast included fried chicken, boiled peanuts ( made by my husband !), Rappahannock' s Olde Salt oysters, deviled eggs topped with Gordy's Sweet Pepper Relish, and probably the best fried pickles I've ever eaten (yes, I've eaten a lot) ... Gordy's Sweet Chips and Cajun Okra dipped in roasted garlic aioli. There was crisp Virginia rosé from Early Mountain Vineyards , local brews from 3 Stars and DC Brau , and a watermelon cooler tha...

STYLE } Bar Styling Tips with Framebridge

Image
  I've always been noncommittal when it come to putting anything on my walls. Art? Photos? Prints? But what if I change my mind? Add the hassle of framing something and voila, a growing pile of unframed prints and photos gathers dust on a shelf. So I much appreciated a recent gentle nudge from friends at  Framebridge , a DC-based company that's making it easier and less expensive to get those pretty-if-neglected pieces framed and on display. We hung out at my place, whipped up some Green Hat gin and tonics, and I shared tips for stocking and styling your bar at home. (Any old table will do!) And yes, I actually put a nail in the wall and hung a print. Head this way for my full interview with Framebridge . Cheers! all photos by  Laura Metzler Photography  for Framebridge

Hello Cupcake Opens

Image
Cupcakes await the first customers at Hello Cupcake For a sweet spot in this final week of August, head to Hello Cupcake , which opens at 10 a.m. today at 1351 Connecticut Ave. NW. I had the chance to sample a few flavors with owner Penny Karas. The fluffy icing on the peanut butter blossom (above) is seriously addictive, and the seasonal root beer flavor is a delightful surprise with spicy root beer cake topped with vanilla cream cheese frosting. I'm going for a Velvet Elvis, banana cake with peanut butter frosting, next. There are gluten-free and vegan options on the menu, as well. Check out all the flavors here . Metrocurean photo
