Rose's Luxury Sidelined Yesterday; Momofuku Gets Building Permit

TEMPORARY SHUTTERS— A couple of maintenance hiccups temporarily shut down some popular restaurants this week. Last night, Rose's Luxury was sidelined due to basement flooding, which is where their walk-in refrigerator is located (customers were compensated with gift cards). A small hood fire means that Range is also closed for the day. [Eaterwire/Twitter]

PERMITS— Washington Business Journal reports Momofuku's D.C. outpost got its permit yesterday to build out 11,252 square feet and accommodate up to 268 occupants. Kinship from Eric Ziebold was also approved. [WBJ]
