Brand new and coming soon to the 3600 block of Georgia Avenue, residents and visitors will soon have two more eating options to choose from. Located between local favorites Looking Glass Lounge and DC Reynolds, Tsehay Ethiopian Restaurant is sporting a Grand Opening banner. I haven’t had a chance to check them out yet, and they appear to be closed on Monday’s so I didn’t get a chance to pop in yesterday. I’m looking forward to doing that soon and reporting back.
Right next door to Tsehay, at 3632 Georgia, Mr. Braxton is finishing up its renovations and should also be opening up in the next couple of weeks. I did have a chance to pop in and chat with the restaurateurs, and I like what I saw. Most importantly to anyone who is familiar with the space, and the businesses that have preceeded Mr. Braxton, is that the property now has a full kitchen, so I’ll be looking forward to seeing their menu soon.
As you can see from the photos below, the refresh of the Georgia Avenue facade and the patio are also welcoming and a good indication of the personality that will be found inside. Mr. Braxton was written up in the Washingtonian a couple weeks back (read article here).

Esencias Panameñas — Washington’s only Panamanian restaurant which features authentic Panamanian cuisine with a Caribbean twist — will host a one-year anniversary party on 
"The territory comprising Park View extends from Gresham Street north to Rock Creek Church Road, and from Georgia Avenue to the Soldiers' Home grounds, including the triangle bounded by Park Road, Georgia Avenue, and New Hampshire Avenue" (from Directory and History of Park View, 1921.)
