Coming Soon to Lot 31: Upscale Dining, Furniture

Shopping and upscale dining is slated to appear in Bethesda’s Lot 31 at the intersection of Woodmont and Bethesda Avenues.

A Paul Bakery, Pottery Barn, Pottery Barn Kids, Chop’t Creative Salad Company, Silver Diner and PassionFish will soon make appearances in Lot 31 in Bethesda Row, according to Bethesda Now.

“The vision for the project’s retail has been to provide a great mix of merchandise and restaurant retailers, enhancing the existing dynamic and vibrant Bethesda Row area of Bethesda,” said developer StonebridgeCarras founding principal Doug Firstenberg in a news release.

The Pottery Barn and Pottery Barn Kids will fill a 17,900-square-foot space, according to Bethesda Now.

Silver Diner, a restaurant dedicated to home-styled food, originally opened in Rockville in November 2010.

The new location at Lot 31 will be an urbanized version of the diner, according to the Washington Business Journal. It will depart from the known style of Silver Diner. All the other locations feature a restaurant in the suburbs with surface parking lots and about 6,000 square feet of space.

“We want to be in lifestyle centers, and all the new centers are being built vertically,” restaurant founder and owner Bob Giaimo told the news outlet.

PassionFish will be located on the ground floor of The Darcy, a luxury condominium project. The space will also have a banquet hall.

The new restaurants and stores are expected to open next year, according to the Capital Gazette.
