Hello Betty announced in February via Instagram that it was planning to open a Pike & Rose location in April. Today the restaurant announced that it will be open on Friday, April 8th and is accepting reservations for its grand opening. The seafood-focused restaurant aims to bring California beach, surf, and skate ambiance to their establishment.

A few months ago, a mysterious boat was seen in Pike & Rose being lifted by crane into Canopy. Hello Betty confirmed that this boat will be part of their restaurant’s decor. Hello Betty will open inside of Canopy by Hilton in Pike & Rose, replacing the Canopy Central Cafe– the restaurant that was there previously.


Melina, a new full-service, fine casual Greek restaurant by the founders of Cava, Cava Mezze, and Julii, opened back in November at 905 Rose Avenue in North Bethesda’s Pike & Rose neighborhood. The restaurant announced that it will be opening its outdoor bar to celebrate today’s nice weather.

The outdoor bar is accompanied by a few tables on the patio and will be open when weather permits for it to happen.


The Nebel Street homeless facility will open on Monday, March 7th.

It has been described by county officials as a critical project that will provide temporary shelter for individuals experiencing homelessness and will provide associated services which are insufficient for the current population and future projections. DGS purchased the two-story building located at 11600 Nebel Street in North Bethesda to provide sleeping quarters, meals, and medical and case management services. This new facility will enable the County to implement its new emergency shelter policy for the unhoused population so that they have access to year-round shelter and a temporary place to spend their days until they are connected to permanent housing.

Located at 11807 Grand Park Ave. in North Bethesda, MD, the bagel shop and deli features homemade, signature bagels, creative sandwiches, coffee, and nostalgic pastries.

Charles W. Woodward High School opened in 1966. Two decades later, in 1987, its students were merged into Walter Johnson High School. Woodward and Walter Johnson High Schools had the same diminished enrollment levels, but MCPS decided to preserve Walter Johnson given the schools larger capacity

After a brief period as a holding school while Springbrook High was being renovated, the building was used to house Tilden Middle School while that school’s facility began a major renovation project. Tilden relocated to its new building during the summer of 2020.


Summer House Santa Monica, a restaurant with a beach-house inspired decor and West Coast cuisine meant to “offer a laid-back vibe reminiscent of California,”  opened at 11825 Grand Park Avenue  sharing the location with artisanal pizza spot Stella Barra Pizzeria back in early 2015.

Now, the restaurants have officially “joined forces” as guests are able to book reservations and order online through the Summer House website. Per the announcement, seen below, big changes in regards to renovations are also coming soon.
