New in DC's records

From DC open data

Bigger projects, permits issued this week

Openings & closings

From liquor licenses

Opened: new licenses

None since we started tracking on November 1, 2026. A new liquor license usually means a new restaurant, bar or shop; it shows here the night it appears in DC's list.

Gone: licenses cancelled

  • Masala Art · 1101 4th Street SW
    Restaurant · cancelled before November 1, 2026
  • La Vie · 88 District Square SW
    Caterer · cancelled before November 1, 2026
  • Grazie Grazie · 85 District Square SW
    Restaurant · cancelled before November 1, 2026
  • Fat Fish Rolls & Twists · 1 Market Square SW
    Restaurant · cancelled before November 1, 2026

A cancelled license usually means the place closed, but not always: it can also mean an ownership change. Places that got a new license at the same address under a similar name are left out. 68 liquor licenses are active in L'Enfant Plaza now.

A story counts when its headline, summary or tags mention L'Enfant Plaza or a landmark in it. We read each outlet's public feed, only where its robots.txt allows, and keep the headline, outlet, date and link; never the article. Stories stay listed for 6 months.

Where the events come from

Only calendars that publish listings for computers to read are included, so some events are missing; the "Also check" links cover the rest. Know a public calendar that should be here? Tell us.
