Opened in 2008, the Busboys and Poets branch in the Mt. Vernon Triangle area of Washington, D.C., is moving across the street to a new location this fall. Its new address will be 450 K St., N.W.
The restaurant and bookstore faced a 15%-20% rent hike in its current location at 1025 5th St. (at K St.), the Washington Business Journal reported. The new location, formerly occupied by a French restaurant, will have 320 seats, down 40, but it will also have a glass-enclosed private dining room, a bar and an outside patio in addition to the bookstore.
