Dining News: Bacon & Butter, Magpie Close...For A Week
June 28, 2015
Those who were planning to spend the upcoming holiday weekend standing in a lengthy line for Bacon & Butter will have to find new plans.
Bacon & Butter announced last week that they'll be closed through Tuesday, July 7 for scheduled maintenance on their kitchen floors.
The restaurant, helmed by chef & owner Billy Zoelin, opened at its current spot in Sept. 2014 after a lengthy renovation of a building that used to be a Chinese restaurant.
Coincidentally, Magpie Cafe is also closed through July 6, as part of a planned move from their home of 5 years on R street to their new location at 16th & P.
The existing space will become Magpie's Nido Bakery Cafe, and will be open over the next month.
Magpie's new location is in a more modern building with more space, a newer kitchen, a bar and a large patio in the shade.
