Losing @BierGartenDC & @HStCountryClub basically w/in the same week is a huge blow and a sign the city needs to take seriously. Our block now has more closed biz than open. We all hung in there during one of the longest shut downs of any city &many of us aren’t out of the woods.

To the asshole who completely vandalized our venue, fuck you and don’t come back. We are trying to provide a nice place for folks to enjoy music. You’re a useless prick. #fuckyou

We will be requiring either proof of full vaccination or negative covid test for all shows until further notice. The mayor & DC council should have duked this out BEFORE making any calls, but here we are…again. Bearing the brunt of the bullshit after a brutal winter. #DoBetter

If anyone orders from us on @Grubhub please DON’T! We never signed up for their service. It’s totally bogus. Use one of the several other services we DO deliver through, which we post about using along with our menu - Every. Single. Day. Thanks all!.

Remember when that guy bought a million dollar house site unseen right behind pie shop & rnr hotel & then proceeded to harass all the businesses on that block? Well the DC Music Stakeholders Coalition came together & wrote the legislation to avoid this situation from happening.

This is my right hand woman, and total boss, Greis. This is her 10th Thanksgiving with us! And she has cranked out thousands and thousands of pies. Greis became part of the Pie Shop team in 2010 at just 18 years old after leaving her native home of Guatemala. 1/3

And yet-All the DC grants available are for bizs that are new, located downtown, or not part of the hospitality/nightlife industry, an industry that provides the most jobs, tourism and tax revenue. What gives?! @DMPEDDC @charlesallen @SmallBizDC @CM_McDuffie @MayorBowser @dcmonc.

The ‘Harmonious Living’ legislation simply asks the city to require certain soundproofing requirements for new residential construction in commercial areas, and vice versa. For the 3rd year we are begging council to introduce it & provide a hearing date. The city has approved 2.

In order to renew (and pay for) a trade name ANNUALLY, a business must confirm they are still at the same address providing the same services in Biennial Report to DCRA which costs…$400! Why does it cost so much to confirm you’re still in business?!?!?!? FFS! 1/2.

We used to collab w @shakeshack back in the day for a Spring Sour Cherry Pie/custard mash up. Would love to collab with a great local independent ice cream place/brick& mortar in DC proper. Who should we hit up to make some serious DC deliciousness?.Cc: @BarredinDC @LauraHayesDC.

To everyone trolling us, our general frustration is with lack of guidance, support, transparency & communication from the dozens of DC agencies & offices we answer to, who dictate our ever-changing rules & regs. We don’t add random fees & never have. The larger picture is a mess.

residential units which will share a wall with our stage/venue. A project right next door that went from offices + 9 units to no offices & TWENTY UNITS. So again PLEASE @councilofdc pass Harmonious Living. Let’s be proactive. Other cities are even using OUR legislation as a model.

Received a negative review from someone who had an issue w @Postmates. Never got the order. W one person working & no access to fielding Postmates customer service calls, bc we couldn’t help them on our end, now we are the bad guys. Please don’t punish the businesses, people.

Oh and they never alert you of when something is due (our trade name cert expires 9/1 but they decided to create an arbitrary renewal deadline of 4/1 so now we have to pay double!) this is an absolute racket. DC is forever shaking down small businesses. #supportsmallbusiness.

@DCHarvest @MayorBowser @charlesallen @Robb4DC @ANC6A the exponential uptick in break-ins/robberies & attempted robberies on H st NE, particularly targeting our small business community, needs to seriously be addressed please. Not sure how, but we can all agree that something’s gotta give.

Not too many people can break it down so eloquently in a single tweet. 🏆 .DC small businesses are still SERIOUSLY STRUGGLING but that doesn’t fit the “DC IS BACK” narrative. The “District of Comebacks” slogan is a slap in the face as we watch local businesses shutter daily.
It’s shitty to call the grants “generous.” Bars are in a death spiral b/c DC shut them down, gave them a pittance and fucked off. You barley pissed on them when they were on fire-stop the victory lap and give them a goddamn break on regulation. Fuck sake.

11 years ago today we opened our doors: In ‘09 this was where Stevie “Glutton”, Pie Shop Baker & Partner & I-Sandra aka “Pie Lady” squatted when we first leased 1339 Hst NE & couldn’t afford to rent a business & apartment. We busted our butts to get the 1st floor built & open 1/4

@barredindc Based on orders, Pumpkin reigns supreme over Sweet Potato. However this year more people definitely wanted less traditional pies. Chocolate Pecan had its strongest showing in the 11 years of baking Thanksgiving pies in The District, which makes me very happy. ♥️🥧♥️.

@BarredinDC Food costs have never been higher. Paper products have never been higher. And now aluminum (cans, pie tins, etc) are skyrocketing. We used to sell crab quiche (very popular) for $40 w around 1.5lbs fresh jumbo lump crab meat in it. Now 1lb can be $50+. It’s no longer on the menu.

@EstherCinDC The reason is Live Nation owns Ticket Master AND many venues these big acts play in. But even for the venues that aren’t owned or operated by LN, if they want those big acts, they gotta ticket through TM. LN+TM own 70% of ticketing/events market. This merge needs to be broken up.
