Thanks again to an eagle eyed reader who spotted this petition sign in the window. I checked out this place located at 1359 U Street next to the old State of the Union and it is set to have a hearing July 2nd. The sign says the trade name is Patty Boom Boom and it will be a tavern that serves Jamaican patties and have DJs, live reggae bands and dancing, unfortunately with a cover charge. So what’s a Jamaican patty? Ed. note: Jamaican fatty/blunt jokes are officially banned. I’m pretty psyched about the prospect of live reggae bands. You?

A crispy turnover filled with meat, cheese, or vegetables. Usually cheap and always filling.

A patty is like an empenada, which should excite you even more!

If it is Marvin-related in any way, the patties ain’t gonna be cheap.

You can see live reggae most nights of the week at Bukum on 18th. Decent food too.
