September 12, 2024 · 💌 Kaela
Hey, neighbor. Michelin added three new restaurants to its D.C. guide: upscale Mexican spots Amparo Fondita and Pascual, along with the Italian-inspired Cucina Morini. Stars will be announced later this year, but it looks like it could be slim pickings this year.
What's CITY Talking About?
MD Senate Race Too Close To Call
While national attention is locked on Tuesday’s presidential debate, the Maryland senate race between former governor Larry Hogan and Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks is heating up. Polls say the race, which could decide the Senate majority, is too close to call. [City Cast DC 🎧]
AdMo Streateries Reborn
Adams Morgan is demolishing its existing streateries to make way for a new pilot streatery program. The new roadside patios are meant to be safer, more accessible, and more beautiful, and will be complete by Sept. 27. [AdMo BID/X]

Developers are submitting an application to build 230 apartments across from the Brookland Metro station. This is the fourth time they have tried to pass the development. A judge sided with anti-development residents to shoot down the proposal three times since 2010. [BISNOW]
