Probably the best bet would be via Downtown Partnership--not sure if they have anyone coordinating nightlife/late-night venues but they have a business development person who might be the best point of contact.

Plum Blossom stayed open late, which was nice, but the food wasn't very good--it was more the Chinese food version of La Garnacha. I suppose if your target market is people drunk enough to not have functioning taste buds it doesn't matter that much.

The new owner of the Kress Building on the 800 block is fixing up the ground floor, turning it back into 2 ground floor entrances instead of one--but no word yet on what kind of use the ground floor will have, although it is apparently supposed to be retail rather than just offices. The rest of the building is being sold as "office condos" like the Roos-Atkins building...maybe if the office market stays soft they might be open to residential. Although hopefully that could be followed by more use of the buildings on the 800 block...like, for instance, a ground floor use in that big, vacant space on the ground floor of the Renaissance Tower? The last time I remember seeing anything going on inside that space was the big K Street charrette in, what, 2005?
