New season for Monsoon
At the end of 2009, we reported that Monsoon owner Lu-Mei Chang had sort of put her E. Market Street restaurant up for sale. By “sort of,” we mean that she said she’d be happy to sell it, but that she wasn’t hammering a “For Sale” sign in the front yard quite yet.
Nevertheless, a recent sale has been made—new owner Kitty Ashi took over the space a few weeks ago and renamed the joint Monsoon Siam. Ashi tells us she’s changed the menu and completed a few renovations inside the space, too. The restaurant offers lunch and dinner. Stay tuned for updates.
Veggies tale
A bit further toward the Mall, Marco & Luca owner Dragana Katalina-Sun has altered her Nicola’s Veggies space on Second Street NW. Now named Nicola’s Chicken Kebob Store, the mini-restaurant, we’d imagine, offers chicken on a stick. Katalina-Sun did not return calls by press time.
