H Street Standby Sally’s Middle Name Announces It Will Close This Month

Sally’s Middle Name, a stalwart for seasonal, globetrotting small plates on H Street NE, will close at the end of the month, according to a social media announcement today.

The married couple that owns the restaurant, chef Sam Adkins and director of operations Aphra Adkins, teased in the announcement that restaurant could be turned into a new project.

“While we can’t share what this space will be next, we are excited for the great things to come,” it reads.

Eater has reached out to the owners and will update this post with more information if necessary.
