A New Day, A New Post

Yes, it has arrived. The first post in a long time. Because, Near Southeast will be getting its first real food destination in just a few weeks. This, from the Business Improvement District newsletter and JDLand:

Corner Copia, specializing in made-to-order deli sandwiches and pre-made sandwiches, will open May 1st at Third and L Streets, SE, the site of a former corner store. Currently under renovation, Corner Copia will also sell a selection of snacks, cold beverages, beer, wine and convenience items.

I know there are plenty of workers in the immediate vicinity that will flock to this spot. Subway and Five Guys are packed with people at lunch time, walking over from the Navy Yard and new Dept. of Transportation Headquarters. But, will the deli stay open late enough to serve the nearby residents? Or, will the convenience of snacks and other items be wasted with a closing time around 5 pm?

So, what's your first order going to be?
