A new option in Washington

Last Shabbat, I had the pleasure of being with a couple from Potomac, and they mentioned that there is a new option coming to the National Capitol area for kosher dining, the Pomegranat Bistro (see this article in the Washington Jewish Week). If you are familiar with the Washington DC area (and Lower Montgomery County in particular), the restaurant is located in the Cabin John Mall, at the intersection of Tuckerman Lane and Seven Locks Road (down the street from Chabad of Potomac, Beth Sholom, and Young Israel Ezras Israel). I made the point to stop by Cabin John Mall and the restaurant is clearly nearly completion -- the front part of the establishment has a take out counter with a refrigerated display case, while the rear is clearly a proper dining area. They are located between the Giant Food and CVS Pharmacy.

The same WJW article also mentions that Mama Leah's Gourmet Pizza, in the Koshermart Plaza on Boiling Brook Parkway has folded. Now while I do not happily view the demise of a kosher eatery, the area is fortunate that Sienna's is still going strong.
