2) Rhode Island Row: Citybizlist reports that Chipotle is headed to Rhode Island Row with a 2,389 square foot space. [PRE-PLYWOOD]
3) Shaw: Through the wonders of liquor license applications, Prince of Petworth learns that the restaurant headed to 9th Street near Seasonal Pantry is registered under the name Thally and will be a bistro with a sidewalk cafe. [PLYWOOD]
4) Park View: New Columbia Heights has it that Harrar Coffee & Roastery is scheduled to open on Georgia Avenue in October — and the signage is up, too. [PLYWOOD]
5) Bloomingdale: In other signage news, Prince of Petworth has some pictures of new signage that has gone up for Bloomingdale Aroi Thai and Japanese Cuisine. There's still no opening date, but the Prince thinks it's going to happen soon. [PLYWOOD]
6) Alexandria: Eat the District gets a hardhat tour of the forthcoming M.E. Swing's roastery, which hopes to open around Thanksgiving. Apparently there's going to be a coffee bar in the front with pour-over coffee and espresso, plus pastries. And there will be windows to look into the factory behind. [PLYWOOD]
