Anyone who has walked through 2000 Penn this week may have noticed that La Prima, the carryout and catering restaurant next to Au Bon Pain, is now closed. The desolate, former restuarant now has a sign up informing patrons of their closure and other locations in the D.C. area. GW’s Executive Vice President and Treasurer, Lou Katz, said he has known about the restaurant’s impending closure for some time and that the University- who owns the property- is working with prospective tenants to take over the location. “There are a number of food venues that are interested in the site,” Katz said.
