"Adjoining the 501 Seventh Street NW location that is being closed on Friday, January 3, Red Velvet Cupcakery will relocate to a smaller nearby site (about 1,300 vs. the current 2,000 square feet) near Zaytinya; the new 20-seat space won't have room to make pizza, is expected to open by Valentine's Day, will have rent roughly 80 percent cheaper, and is essentially turnkey for cupcakes, coffee, and pastries though it will undergo a heavy makeover overseen by the owner." - Tierney Plumb
