"The Avenue, a spacious American restaurant that opened in upper Northwest last year, plans to use its upstairs events space as a daytime cafe for remote workers in the Chevy Chase. Owner Tim Walsh, a native Washingtonian who lives steps away with his wife and four kids, opened the Avenue as a three-part venue: a bar and restaurant; a kid-friendly, downstairs den devoted to Bill Murray flicks and Pac-Man; and a renovated event space with room for 100. Starting Monday, March 4, that upstairs loft — used for rehearsal dinners, reunions, and baby showers — will double as a weekday workspace (9 a.m. to 5 p.m.)." - Tierney Plumb
