1. yeah that's perfect !

It's also a great way to rehab this place after years of Trump corruption taking place in this building.

The Old Post Office clock tower quietly reopened last week with little fanfare, no line, and some of the best views in the city.

14. It truly is a beautiful building with amazing views of DC, visited there many times as a kid.

Broke my heart when tfg bought it.

15. I worked gigs all around there.

It is a familiar sight to me, but I have never been inside.

The band never booked that venue. I suspect that was on purpose.

Next time I go to DC I will make a point to eat there!

4. Chef Jos Andrs...

Biden should appoint you America's Ambassador to the World...

Your courage, kindness, and cooking keep me believing...

5. Chef Andre deserves a Nobel Peace Prize

10. He surely does.

6. I hope he gets the place exorcised and has it purified with sage

A lot of evil went on in that building during the maggot years!

[Hekate]

7. Yes indeed!

8. I'm going to add dining there to my bucket list. Mr. Andres is quite an impressive gentleman.

9. How fitting. Love this dude.

12. They'll open later this year, no date announced yet

so much better without Trump's name on that beautiful old building

And Chef Andres is of course such a great dude. He was serving meals to the hungry out of Nats Stadium during COVID and sold groceries for pickup at his restaurant at reasonable prices in the beginning of the pandemic. He leveraged his business purchasing power when supplies were low at normal grocery stores.

16. Wonderful news!

So glad that lovely building is no longer scarred with tfg's name. All the best to Chef Andres. I would love to go see the Old Post Office in person some day and dine in his restaurant.
