nine lives myth debunked
Continuing today’s shocking restaurant news theme (I do love a bandwagon):
On the walk to my office this morning, I noticed that everyone’s favorite feline-themed vegetarian hotspot on Capitol Hill appears to be gone for good. Things didn’t look good when the Green Cat’s windows were papered over a couple weeks ago, but hope for it only being a makeover were dashed today when their old space was revealed to be a whole new establishment called (I think) Local Cafe.
I’ll admit to being a little more sad about the loss of the idea of the place than the actuality of it. Never fear, it looks like Coffee Messiah has expanded their food service to fill the gap in vegan food options on Olive Way. On top of that, they added wi-fi this summer and have consistently funny sidewalk signage.


I liked the green cat well enough, the vegetarian chili was awesome. It was just too damned expensive, there was nothing edible for less than 4 bucks and it was a tiny serving. Had I been blessed with fortunes aplenty I would sport golden parachute pants and eat there.
