Your Afternoon Animal Fix
by Prince Of Petworth
If you have any animal/pet photos you’d like to share please shoot me an email to princeofpetworth(at)gmail(dot)com with ‘Animal Fix’ in the title and say the name of your pet and your neighborhood. Your photos will go into the queue (usually 3-4 weeks wait) and will be posted in the order I receive them. If you’ve already entered your pet and would like to do so again – that’s no problem – just space the entries out a bit.

‘Micro-Juicery’ Coming to East Falls Church
by Ethan Rothstein
V.w.verweijBarf
While microbreweries are popping up all over the D.C. area, East Falls Church could soon be home to a “micro-juicery,” from the owner of South Block Cafe.
Amir Mostafavi says South Block Juice Company will open at 2121 N. Westmoreland Street in the next few months. The facility will produce the juice served at South Block and will be available for pickup around the area and for home delivery.
Mostafavi said he wants customers to be able to look into the location and see how the juice is made, and perhaps take tours like visitors do at microbreweries. The juice will also be sold fresh next door at Urban Pantry, which opened last week.
“It’s going to be our new production facility,” Mostafavi said. “We needed a larger space for our kitchen. The space we’re making the juice at right now, we’ve just outgrown it. We’re getting a larger juicer that’s going to greatly increase our volume and capacity. It’s something we’ve been looking into for a little while now as we’ve grown in the juice part of the business.”
South Block has been getting its juice from Mostafavi’s kitchen at Campus Fresh on George Washington University’s campus. Mostafavi opened that store 10 years ago and South Block Cafe opened three years ago, but when he bought a cold press a year ago to sell juice in bottles, the business exploded.
“Once I bought the cold press, that’s when the business took off,” he said. “We’ve already been getting a lot of customers throughout the area coming to our shop for the juice for juice cleanses.”
South Block Juice Company will get a revamped website around when the micro-juicery opens, Mostafavi said, which will make it easier for customers to order juices for delivery. That includes the three-day juice cleanse, which includes 18 bottles of juice, to be drank in specific order, for $150.
Mostafavi also said South Block is looking into ”satellite locations” in the next year or so, and he hopes to soon begin national distribution.

Le Caprice, the great French bakery on 14th, applying to serve beer and wine!
by Andrew W
Le Caprice at 3460 14th St NW is a fantastic bakery, and one of my favorite breakfast spots around. And it looks like they're expanding their purview, as WAMU's Martin Austermuhle tweeted that they're applying to serve wine and beer -- the info came from the DC Register, or the official document that tracks government activities.
And if that's the case, that sounds great. I'm a big fan of the place.

I don't have any more info so I'm speculating, but I'm guessing this means they're expanding to be more of a proper cafe where folks can hang out at night and have a drink or two -- sort of like Bar di Bari down at 14th and R, which serves baked goods and breakfast but also small dinner plates and drinks at night.And if that's the case, that sounds great. I'm a big fan of the place.

Heavy Seas Alehouse in Rosslyn Now Open
by Ethan Rothstein
Heavy Seas Alehouse in Rosslyn (1501 Wilson Blvd) opened last week and welcomed big crowds immediately.
General Manager Keith Kirkland said the restaurant has done more than $70,000 in business in just five days, including its soft opening last Wednesday. They’ve also gone through more than 50 kegs of Heavy Seas beer, he said.
“That’s much more than we expected,” he told ARLnow.com today. “Those number are even bigger considering we were shut down yesterday [during the snowstorm].”
The restaurant is open every day at 11:00 a.m. (10:00 a.m. on Sundays) and is open until 2:00 a.m. Friday and Saturday nights. In addition to the seven Heavy Seas beer offered on draft, the alehouse offers six other Virginia beers, eight beer cocktails and lunch and dinner menus.

This sounds like a good opportunity to learn something about famous Mexican artists, including Frida Kahlo. The Mexican Cultural Institute on 16th Street, part of the Mexican Embassy, is hosting a lecture about Kahlo and two other female artists, Lola lvarez Bravo, Mar a Izquierdo
Because if you've only heard about Frida Kahlo you are missing out.
Don't miss Lola lvarez Bravo, María Izquierdo, and Frida Kahlo: Pressure from the Margins, a lecture that explores the contributions of three dynamic women to the vibrant cultural "renaissance" that followed the Mexican Revolution (1910-1920). Although frequently overshadowed by their male counterparts, each made a pioneering contribution to the advancement of Mexican art and culture. This lecture will consider their role as women within the Mexican art world of their day, as well as expounding on their work at the crossroads of revolutionary culture and the international avant-garde.
Adriana Zavala is Associate Professor of Art History at Tufts University. She received her PhD from Brown University, with a specialization in modern Mexican art. Her book "Becoming Modern, Becoming Tradition: Women Gender and Representation in Mexican Art" (Penn State University Press, 2010) was awarded the Arvey Prize by the Association of Latin American Art in 2011. She is presently writing a book on the collage technique in Mexican art. Her curatorial work includes: "Lola Alvarez Bravo: the Photography of an Era", shown at the Diego Rivera Studio Museum in Mexico City (2010), the Museum of Latin American Art, Long Beach (2011), and in expanded form at the Center for Creative Photography, Tucson, AZ (2013); "Mexico Beyond Its Revolution" for the Tufts University Art Galleries (2010); and, "Maria Izquierdo: Un Arte Nuevo" for the Blaisten Collection at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (2007). She is currently developing an exhibition on Frida Kahlo.
