My husband mentioned seeing a note in Jack's newsletter that there is possibly a Thai Restaurant coming to the neighborhood. He has thrown out the newsletter so I didn't have an opporutnity to read it.
What's the skinny on this? How can we voice our support, do we know the vendor that's considering the move?!! I'm a major thai-a-holic!!!

| Sorry, but I caught some criticism for having written that. It wasn't supposed to be public information, and I'll have to delete that from my on-line newsletter postings. -- Jack |

| Yes. Yes it would. And it's no wonder they are trying to keep it mum until they work things out. But please post here Jack if the MPNA or any other group starts in with the harassment. I think it will be very easy to drown out whatever small opposition there would be with overwhelming neighborhood support. I did also read recently that the city is being lobbied to change the rules in regard to such a small number or nimbys yielding so much power. That was in response to a "group of five" protesting Hanks oyster bars patio in Dupont. |

Agreed! post here and there will an overwhelming amount of support for new businesses...I'd even take off work and leave the kids with my husband to lend a hand!

|
|
Hello, Mount Pleasant-ers!
My name is Ralph Brabham, and I'm one of the owners of Beau Thai (1700 New Jersey Avenue, NW). I'm happy to answer the question presented on this page by announcing that we are going to open a beautiful new restaurant on Mount Pleasant Street later this year! Below is the text of our press release about what's in store. Feel free to e-mail me with any questions.
Ralph
Beau Thai to Open in Vibrant Mount Pleasant
Beloved Shaw neighborhood eatery Beau Thai will open a second location in the historic Mount Pleasant Neighborhood in late 2012
(Washington, DC) Today, Beau Thai announced that it would open a location in the heart of the Mount Pleasant neighborhood’s commercial district in late 2012. The restaurant will be located at 3162 Mount Pleasant St., NW, a building that has housed the Mount Pleasant Interim Library since 2010. The Thai eatery will complement the area’s existing offerings and bring another high-quality sit-down dining option to Mount Pleasant Street.
In selecting a location for a second restaurant, Beau Thai zeroed in on the Mount Pleasant neighborhood early on. Proprietor Ralph Brabham recalls, “We absolutely fell in love with Mount Pleasant. We loved its feeling of community, its sense of place, its diversity, its vibrancy, and its history. We are a community-oriented business, and we look forward to becoming a part of Mount Pleasant's vibrant and growing food scene, just as we have in Shaw.”
Foundry Architects is overseeing the design and buildout of the space, which is nearly triple the size of the original Beau Thai. Foundry principal Will Couch says of the plans, “It’s going to be very cool and functional, engaging patrons and passersby alike with interesting finishes and unique lighting. It will both echo the feel of the Shaw location and also have its own personality and soul. Like the original, Beau Thai Mount Pleasant will feature large scale photographs of the Vigsittaboot family, from whom its recipes originate.”
Beau Thai Mount Pleasant will serve the same fresh, authentic Thai cuisine that has earned the Shaw eatery many accolades since its opening in August 2010. It will be open for lunch and dinner and will offer dine in, delivery, and takeaway. Additionally, the restaurant will offer the unique Thai Sunday Brunch that Beau Thai conceived earlier this year. An expansive bar will feature a craft cocktail, beer and wine list, as well as draught beers.
About Beau Thai
Beau Thai opened in August 2010 with a mission to bring its customers high quality, authentic, and fresh Thai cuisine in an intimate setting. Having earned praise from the Washington Post, Washington City Paper, and many others, the restaurant’s greatest reviews are from its many repeat and loyal customers.

| I've been to the current Beau Thai a number of times and cannot wait for them to come to MtP! Home-made ginger beer, happy-hour appetizer specials; loved the Red Curry Duck and Drunken Noodles. If you want to sample what's on its way to MtP, head on over to the NW corner of R & NJ Streets NW in Shaw.... |
