Big things happening at Wisconsin Place

Having lived in Friendship Heights for 6 years now, I've gotten used to the jokes and jabs about the fact that I might as well live on Mars. (its 14 minutes on metro from metro center folks, I'm guessing I get home faster than 80% of people who drive to NoVa) My standard response to this is, when was the last time you were in the neighborhood?

Since I've been there, it's been transformed from an older sleepy neighborhood to one of the better retails destinations in the area, there is a large amount of upscale new housing, and
recently the new Wisconsin Place opened up including Bloomingdales, Sephora, a huge (and pricey) Archstone apartment building, and restaurants.

Last week the development announced two new restaurants coming this fall - Capital Grille and The Tasting Room. Most DCers know Cap Grille from their swanky Pennsylvania Ave location, and The Tasting Room is going to be a fancy wine and cheese sort of place - should fit in well to the neighborhood.

And, despite rumors to the contrary, our Whole Foods WILL still be opening, just later than originally thought next spring.
