Fork, a kind of pricey and what seemed to be slightly stuffy restaurant a few blocks from home (next to Joe Bar) went out of business a few months ago, or at least that's when I noticed that the restaurant seemed somewhat abandoned. While walking home from Joe Bar last night, Asra noticed a sign on the door: "opening soon! Coca La Ti Da! a new lounge" and obligatory web address.

Turns out that Coca La Ti Da is meant to be a "wonderful sexy dessert lounge", featuring not only desserts (of course), but cocktails and savory bites, with an emphasis on late night. A referenced article made talked about the dessert bar phenom in New York, which made me wonder if it would be similar to Chickalicious? Although, Chickalicious didn't quite have savory, making me think that it's going to be a bit closer to my beloved Citizen Cake. That's a happy thought :)

This is very exciting - Capitol Hill is slowly transitioning from seediness to a sophisticated level of practicality and and coolness, one step at a time, and the new dessert lounge is one sign of those changes. I am eagerly awaiting the opening...
