Georgetown ShopHouse Now Eyeing Summer 2013 Opening

ShopHouse is now hoping to open in Georgetown early this summer.

The the fast casual Southeast Asian-inspired restaurant will take over the former Furin's space at 2805 M St. NW. Furin's closed in July 2011 after 27 years there.

"We don't have an exact date solidified yet, but shooting for early summer," according to a tweet sent to Patch from the official company Twitter account.

ShopHouse initally hoped to open in Georgetown last summer. In September Architect Herb Heiserman of Streetsense told the Georgetown Advisory Neighborhood Commission meeting that his client's "very aggressive" goal was to open by year's end.

Georgetowners will have to wait a little longer to enjoy the menu which includes, "distinctly spiced homemade curries and sauces, fresh vegetables and herbs, artisanal organic tofu, and meats raised responsibly without the use of antibiotics or added hormones."

Until then, you can try the food at the Dupont location at 1516 Connecticut Ave. NW.
