CR NoMa opened in Spring 2019 in the fast-growing NoMa neighborhood in Northeast DC. CR (which stands for Carving Room) was a way for Oded and Rachel to express themselves in a new way in both design and menu while still holding on to their Carving Room roots. The goal was to create a great space that felt warm and light all at once while serving up innovative takes on familiar flavors. The menu offers some classics from the original Carving Room, including the House Cured Pastrami Reuben, Moroccan Cigars, Sephardic Salads, and the Carving Room Burger, while mixing in some new favorites like the House Cured Pastrami Cuban. In the all-new dinner menu Oded once again takes inspiration from his Middle Eastern and North African roots, serving braised and grilled lamb, vegetable dipping salads, flatbreads, and grilled meats, all seasoned with the region’s signatures spices like coriander and cumin. CR NoMa was designed with community in mind, which is why the bar area was built with a 20-seat horseshoe bar and a 24-seat live edge Eastern Shore pine communal table where you can enjoy 15 local beers on tap, 2 draft cocktails, and a seasonal cocktail menu along with some great conversation. Fun Fact: The NoMa neighborhood’s name is shorthand for “North of Massachusetts” because Massachusetts Ave serves as the southern perimeter for this lively neighborhood.
