While we’re playing the dating game trying to match Half Pint Ice Cream with a suitable Capitol Hill location (preferably within waddling distance of my front door), we might also want to introduce the soon-to-be homeless Monsoon Capitol Hill with East John Court.
This needs to be fixed and fast. they are not allowed to leave vicinity. where would we go for brunch?
Can’t say I’ll miss them. Over-priced with mediocre (at best) service and a complete lack of ambience. Hopefully the apartment building will have room for retail, maybe something like a Mont’s Market. The old market where Vios is was terrible, but that’s one thing 19th could really use.
Now if only the 1/2 block where the mob-front (“holiday gift and craft”) shop is would get similarly redeveloped, maybe with a small gym and another restaurant or two…
FYI, the John Court project was not designed to accommodate full-service restaurants, so I don’t think it would work out.
