Last week, it came out that the BLT Restaurant Group was planning a restaurant in the DC area called Casa Nonna that would be "modeled on the festive Carmine's eateries in New York." But as Eater National points out, Carmine's just happens to be opening its own DC branch too. By no means does Carmine's have a monopoly on the concept of the old-school Italian-American restaurant, but it's an interesting coincidence nonetheless. [Eater National]
