As we are approaching the end of the year, and preparing for the holiday season, The
is also coming up on 11years! Over the years, we have had some of the best experiences in our shop. Live music, wine tastings, tons of social events (public and private). We have also had some of the most amazing staff on our team, and still do! We have been very fortunate to be welcomed in to the
community, and we are grateful for all of it.
Attman’s to Open on Wednesday, September 16th in Park Potomac
Back in April, Attman’s Deli announced that they had closed their Cabin John location and were planning to move into a new spot, somewhere nearby.
In June we found out that the new location would be in Park Potomac– taking over the old Zoe’s Kitchen spot (12505 Park Potomac Ave).
Now we know that they’ll be opening in Wednesday, September 16th for carryout and delivery 8am-8pm).
Attman’s Deli is best known for their corned beef, pastrami, pickles, and other New York Jewish delicacies.

Addie’s in Potomac has closed permanently.
Its owner, Black Restaurant Group, says they have no intentions to reopen the restaurant for the foreseeable future.
The restaurant served New American fare with a specialty in seafood. Some of its sister restaurants are still open for carryout and outdoor service, such as Republic in Takoma Park.

Back in April, Attman’s Deli announced that they had closed their Cabin John location and were planning to move into a new spot, somewhere nearby. At the time of the announcement, no official location was disclosed.
There have been rumors that they might potentially move into Park Potomac, in the spot previously occupied by Zoe’s kitchen. Today, we heard that there appeared to be people loading furniture and equipment from an Attman’s truck into that space.
Attman’s Deli is best known for their corned beef, pastrami, pickles, and other New York Jewish delicacies. The original Attman’s location in Baltimore is still open for business during this time.

Updated on  January 13th to include a deli as a potential replacement for Zoe’s.
Zoës Kitchen will close its Park Potomac location, leaving the Germantown location as the lone Zoës in MoCo. A source close to the situation tells us that a new sushi restaurant or deli is deep in talks to come to the shopping center and could be eyeing the Zoe’s Kitchen space. Zoës in Park Potomac will close on January 24th.
I spoke with a Zoes Kitchen employee who told me that tomorrow, Sunday, 9/30, will be their last day.
We’re told the closing does not have anything to do with Zoes being acquired by Cava and that it was due to issues with the landlord.
You can still find two other Zoes Kitchen locations in MoCo, as their Germantown and Park Potomac locations remain open.
