District Randomness:

>Foggy Bottom is getting a new grocery store!! (*How many of you really got excited at this news?? j/k) It’s new but not really new. The historic Foggy Bottom Grocery is getting a face lift thanks to the efforts of Kris Hart, Devlin Keating and Daniel Blake (*all GW Alum). The 60 plus years old store will be renamed FoBoGro this fall. The garden level will feature made-to-order sandwiches and NY style pizza’s (*which are going to be sold by the slice…we likey!). The entry level and second floor will be the actual grocery store which will cater to much of the needs of nearby GW students, grad students and the like. Way to give back to your alma mater, wonder if we can reguvenate somethings over by our old stomping grounds…there’s definitely some plastic surgery that could be done over in those parts…

>EatBar is bringing out the classics and this time we’re not talking about food. The sidekick to Tallula is incorporating movie night into its dining experience. During Sunday brunch, such classics as The Muppets Take Manhattan (*Fun!) and Dumbo will be on the screen as patrons dine on Brioche French Toast and pan seared crab cakes with biscuits (*Yum). Then when the clock strikes 8 pm on Sunday evenings, EatBar is offering guests complimentary white truffle popcorn and viewings of oldies but goodies such as The Naked Gun and the Sound of Music. They encourage patrons to come out on the 11th (October) and sing along at the top of your lungs to the Sound of Music. Then on the 15th (November) bring your toga’s for the ultimate toga party during the screening of the National Lampoon’s Animal House.

On Wednesday’s the cocoa haven will be bringing out its chocolate fountain from 6 pm-9 pm for patrons to dip fruit skewers (*available for purchase) into the chocolate. Fun times.
