The District is really building up its restaurant resume. The DMV will welcome Againn, a New York Avenue gastropub, this fall. Againn will have a raw bar, three private dining rooms and 130 individually lighted and personalized lockers for Scotch (*These can be reserved for $500 a year). There will be one room with a flat-screen TV…wonder how this will work out during soccer season, will everyone just pile up in one room?? These questions will be answered in due time but until then, you can get more info on the newbie here.

**It’s slated to open October 27, 2009
