Addie's sets opening date at Park Potomac

Addie's Restaurant will open Tuesday, August 22 at Park Potomac. Although the new iteration won't be in an actual house like the original Rockville Pike location, chef-owner Jeff Black has tried to make his ground floor space at 12435 Park Potomac Avenue to be "as welcoming as Grandma Addie's home," in homage to the namesake and inspiration for the restaurant. There is a "living room," a "dining room," a bookshelf-lined "den," and for a lucky few, a six-seat oyster bar.

As I previously reported, Addie's Mussels and Addie's Rolls are back on the menu, along with a customizable Seafood Tower with a broad array of selections from ponzo marinated uni to old standbys like Addie's premium raw oysters.

Addie's will take reservations, and serve dinner seven nights a week, brunch on weekends and lunch every weekday.

The classic car restorer, service center and dealer is currently generating some publicity with a display at Park Potomac, featuring a classic 1970 Ford Mustang Mach 1, and a 2004 Porsche 911 Carrera C4S.

Who is behind these newer additions to the public art at the Park Potomac development? BroCoLoco was founded by brothers Aaron and Jared Scales in the District, but creates works for clients around the world.

These Park Potomac pieces were designed specifically for urban environments, and the brothers say each work is meant to reflect local and global influences. The firm contributes funding to war-torn and poverty-stricken parts of the world on a monthly basis.
