Rita’s Coming to Chinatown
Looks like a Rita’s is coming next to the new Pho spot, Pho DC, at 608 H St, NW. Incidentally the new Pho sign is looking sweet.
I asked some workmen when they thought they’d open and they said another month or two.

does DC do anything to encourage Chinatown to be Chinese in any way?
Finally! The coming soon sign has been up for almost a year… I was starting to think Rita would never come
and its been on there website as “coming soon” for over 3 years.
And yes, DC (or some other authority, that I’m not sure) actually makes all buildings and businesses in Chinatown be a little culturally sensitive. Otherwise there would hardly be anything “chinese” about our “chinatown”.
what does that mean ” a little culturally sensitive”? is that good?
Which is why it should cease to be Chinatown.
I love me some Ritas.
Is there some kind of ordinance that signs have to be in Chinese and English? I find it ludicrous, Do Auntie Anne’s, Starbucks and TD Bank really need to be in both languages? I guess it adds a little character but only makes Chinatown feel even more phony to me than it is already.
