(JTA) — Eli’s Restaurant, a popular kosher eatery in Washington frequented by politicians, will move instead of closing.

After announcing in October that the restaurant would close, it announced this week that it would move three blocks from its current location at the southeast corner of the intersection of N and 20th streets, NW, where it has been since 2004.

A petition  circulated on Change.org, garnered more than 400 signatures from supporters who stressed to the owners “how important it is that they find a new location in DC and continue to serve the downtown Jewish community.”

At least one other kosher eatery is open in downtown Washington, at the local JCC.
