The Strand is Fish & Fire Food Group’s latest DC effort.  As a DC centric hospitality business, The Strand was an attractive opportunity. Nestled in the quiet Deanwood neighborhood, The Strand is housed in an old theater that was built to service the fledgling, but growing motion picture industry.  The structure and its unique intimacy were the trend in movie houses.  Intentionally built in an African American neighborhood and focused on African American films,  from the 1920’s into the 1960’s, The Strand  was a vibrant part of the community.  Unfortunately, as with many small businesses, it ran into trouble and has sat dormant since that time.  Not anymore – FFFG is bringing its penchant for emerging neighborhoods and its hospitality pedigree to the Strand.  We are excited to be part of the rich and continuing history of Washington DC!
