Old Town deli wants to grow from stop-and-go to full dining experience

Since it opened in February,  Eddie’s Little Shop and Deli (1406 King Street) has been a spot to grab what you need and go, but that could change.

A new special use permit indicates the shop could be adding a little indoor seating soon, giving the bodega-like deli space an area for people to enjoy their meals.

“We are looking to provide seats for our [guests] to enjoy indoors during operating hours,” Deli owner Edward McIntosh wrote in a special use permit. “The table will be able to fit 10-12 guests at a time to create a commercial dining experience.”

Eddie’s Little Shop and Deli opened in the former Deli News & More space in February. The restaurant was inspired by the bodegas in New York City.

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!

The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!

What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
