Tryst in Adams Morgan is open till 2 on weeknights and later on weekends, while Busboys and Poets on V St. is open till midnight on weekends.

But other than those, I agree that it’s tough to find coffee shops–even starbucks–that are open much past 8 or 9.

Great news!

Now, what about the fish place that seems to be boarded up?

I don’t know the actual address but there’s a medium size building there with a pretty big lot (asphalt) surrounding it that’s fenced off. Yeah, this was Howard’s and not the City owns it. But no, it’s not the church, or just a parking lot…

Anon 12.02 – can you elaborate a little? what are you refering to when talking about the lot across the street? Is it the parking lot or the old church that was slated to become apartments?? And that its now city owned, but was previously Howards?? I’m just a little lost in the wording perhaps…….

Thanks!!

It will be interesting how his business is influenced by development by the City across the Street.

DC acquired the lot in a trade with Howard University to help Howard complete their new Howard Towncenter on Lower Georgia Ave.

If DC puts in a new DMV branch maybe business will go way up! If they put in public Housing or a homeless shelter, maybe not…

Nearby residents should get involved with the City and let them know what they want on this City owned land before the decison is made for them

Hope it’s open past 9. Why can I never find a coffee shop in the neighborhood (all of the district?) open past 9?
