Things have been quiet at 1701 Rockville Pike # B1 in The Shops at Congressional Village (which was recently auctioned for $44 million), the site of Eerkin’s Uygher Cuisine, and that may be because the restaurant has signed on to open up down the street at the former Amici Miei location at 6 N Washington Street in the Courthouse Center in Rockville, according to the Federal Realty website. Eerkin’s is no longer listed as a tenant at The Shops at Congressional Village.
Courthouse Center, where Eerkin’s has signed on to open, was home to the recently closed Woodside Deli, and is currently home to East Dumpling House and Subway. An opening date is not currently available. Photo of Federal Realty’s site plan below. The news was first mentioned by The MoCo Source on Instagram.
