Toledo Lounge Takes a Break; Free BLT Steak Popovers

ADAMS MORGAN—Prince of Petworth notices that Toledo Lounge has closed for renovations and possible rebranding. The bar's website explains: "With the rebirth of Adams Morgan under way following the completion of the streetscape project last month, Toledo Lounge is taking a well-deserved break after 18 years of operation. This pause will allow the management team to tweak this and that, plus make a few adjustments to the space that will appeal to the increasingly upscale patrons who descend on the neighborhood."

POPOVER WIRE—Those crazy popular popovers that start your meal at BLT Steak are soon going to be available for free on the streets of DC. The restaurant announced on Facebook that the "popover fairies" will be distributing them on Friday's at 1:30 p.m. — though you must stay tuned to catch the location. [Facebook]

LISTICLES—Food Network magazine has come out with a listicle of best sandwiches across the US. Both the Istanbul sandwich at Sundevich and the fried chicken sliders at Evening Star Cafe's No. 9 Lounge made the cut. [FN]
