I hope Ooh’s & Aah’s will survive this shyt too. shyt’s one of the best Soul Food restaurants in the whole DMV. I do hope it will help humble their menu prices somewhat tho

Since everyone is talking about how bad the food is over there I’m actually mad that Kith/Kin a restaurant/bar I recommended on here in Dc is closing also smfh. Very good food and drinks. Owner is from NYC also.


Reading him cry about his business closing was depressing. Funny enough his workers looked happy as hell to work there when I was there 2 months ago.

Never even heard of this place but I really hope they survive. The Ali’s sound like great people.

The food is trash. It's just more of a landmark. The U Street joint can't close tho man. That's DC mayne

Close the airport and H Street ones but don't let the U Street go mayne

Yeah that one HAS to stay open. Do not care about the rest.

Hope they make it. If Cosby was not in the prison, he would definitely swoop in and save them. It's a Black and National landmark that deserves to be saved. By the way, fukk shake shack, Ruth Chris, the Lakers and Trump.

Another Black restaurant closing only to most likely get replaced with yet another big ass glassy condo or by some trendy Cac restaurant with mediocre at best food offerings I hate what this city is becoming

To be fair Kith/kin is under a big glassy condo





or at least that’s what it seem when I went there. The decor in there is by far above most other black businesses in DC from my experience.


But yea getting replaced by a cac spot is what worries me





hopefully he comes back after quarantine

Always heard the food wasn't good but that place shout literally be classified as a National Landmark.
