Pom Pom owner and cocktail star Carlie Steiner was among the restaurateurs to announce a permanent closure in the early days of pandemic. She’d done the pivots selling groceries at first, then delivering curated packages of wine. Ultimately, though, she didn’t see a way for her tiny 24-seat Petworth restaurant to survive. Same for Dos Mamis, the cocktail bar she operated across the street with fellow restaurateur Anna Bran Leis.
