Announced in April 2015, the site of 915 Broadway was the planned relocation of The Kitchen. The 1.9-acre (0.77 ha) property included the 15,000 sq ft (1,400 m2) building and was bought for USD$2.6 million (equivalent to $3.3 million in 2023). [8] The Broadway site after the January 2016 announcement eventually became the third location of Market Cafe, the chain that has had broader appeal, due to feedback from customers who wanted another Market Cafe location. Meanwhile, The Kitchen underwent renovations: "expanded wine cellar", "redone bathrooms", and increased space for dining rooms. The restaurant's bakery section was relocated to the Cafe's Broadway site. Its office, consolidated with the office of the Cafe's H Street site, was relocated to another site. [9]
