It has nothing to do with skynear. It is just in Skynear’s old basement space.

I can’t wait for a place where I can stop on my way home and pick up some delicious antipasta, fresh baked bread or desserts made, I understand, at the Cashions restaurant and brought to AM Shoppe. I’m tired of pizza and felafil. A nice bottle of wine to go with my antipasta wouldn’t hurt.

Fantastic business mix. Skynear and Cashions are two of the great businesses in Adams Morgan. It’s a perfect blend. Wonderful gourmet food and wine on one level and Skynear Furniture on another. Skynear opened a year after I moved to Adams Morgan. They have been the most wonderful neighbors. They took a broken down dark drabby building and turned it into an Adams Morgan landmark. When everybody else ran out of Adams Morgan after civil disturbances Skynear stayed on. They have always been involved in the community. Cashion’s my favorite resturant is also involved in the community.
It’s a perfect marriage. Both these businesses are making our neighborhood a much nicer place to live. All those who have such great business ideas I strongly encourage them to open one. This will bring great diverse life to this part of Adams Morgan. Congratulations AM Shoppe with two ps. My family will be the first in line.

Uhhh… AM means Adams Morgan, not morning.

Is there really a market for a wine shop and/or bar on every corner? I guess we’ll find out soon enough as they seem to open up every month.

And, I thought Adams Morgan was searching for more commercial and daytime offices. I know…the free market will drive the businesses and wine is what people are asking for…so give the people what they want.

With some work and the right business, you would think a non-alcohol-driven entity would like to set up shop in AM.

Okay, shoppe is annoying. But not nearly as bad as some of these new pretentious terms like “gastropub”.

The owners are fantastic people, and I will go here early and often.

But that name is awful.

I can’t believe that they actually used the spelling “shoppe” in their description – it’s strange enough when used for the name of their shop, but to casually throw that middle-English word into a normal sentence…
I s’pose that makes them “diverse AND authentic!”
