Located downtown at 1875 I St NW, The Square is a chef-driven food market destination where cuisine, culture and community are woven together. Spearheaded by Richie Brandenburg and Rubén Garcia, The Square is slated to open in June 2023 within International Square – a 1.1 million square-foot complex occupying nearly a full city block in the heart of Washington, D.C.
