A Mount Vernon landmark with a colorful history appears destined for a new use, after several years of dormancy and a recent sale.
In the 1990s, 801 North Charles Street was the home of Tony Cheng’s Szechuan, a cornerstone of the restaurateur’s D.C.-Baltimore empire and one of the best Chinese dining spots in the city.
