WHAT'S UP WITH ASSAGGI BEING CLOSED AT BETHESDA ROW? (PHOTOS)

Assaggi Mozzarella Bar has been mysteriously closed for two days at Bethesda Row. The Italian restaurant appears to be deserted, and does not answer the phone (or have an answering machine) when I've tried to call during and after business hours. The tables are still in the dining room, but the chairs are gone. There is no sign on the door, or message online regarding why the restaurant is closed. Anybody heard anything?

ASSAGGI "FLIGHT NIGHT" RESCHEDULED FOR THIS WEDNESDAY, MARCH 13

Assaggi's "snow"-ed out Flight Night last week has been rescheduled for this Wednesday, March 13.

The next Flight Night wine tasting event will be on April 3.

FRESHFARM BETHESDA MARKET + STRUT YOUR MUTT

Can you really pick up healthy, local food at a farmers market and adopt a dog in the same day?

You can over by Veterans Park in downtown Bethesda today!

While Sunday's Bethesda Central Farm Market has been canceled, this morning's FRESHFARM Bethesda Market will be open as scheduled, from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM.

Don't miss a cooking demonstration by Chef Domenico Cornacchia of Bethesda Row's Assaggi at 10:30 AM at today's market!

Please note that the market will be a block further down Norfolk, in order to allow space for Strut Your Mutt.

After you shop at the market, head up to Strut Your Mutt, enjoy the parade, tour the vendor and dog non-profit displays, and even adopt a dog from one of the animal rescue organizations at the event.
