From Wegmans:

“Our Japanese Seafood and Sushi Festival is returning for the first time since 2019, this time at our Wisconsin Avenue store in Washington D.C. located at the City Ridge complex in Tenleytown.

Wegmans has a long-standing relationship with Japan’s top fishmonger and retailer, Uoriki. Working closely with these partners in Tokyo, we have continued to expand our world-class sushi offerings and we have gained access to the famous Toyosu Fish Market (formerly Tsukiji.)

The Japanese Seafood and Sushi Festival will feature fresh seafood brought in directly from the Toyosu Market. Expert fishmongers from Japan will be flying in to work alongside us, honing seafood knife skills and preparing fish in advance of the festival.

On September 15 and 16, Read More

I could see a gastropub doing pretty well in that location, though I would much prefer something that’s less corporate, less chain-like, and more committed to quality.”

Makers Union coming soon sign now up: Read More

Back in February 2022 we first learned that King Street Oyster Bar would be coming to City Ridge. At that time they had hoped to open “Fall 2022”, obviously way off that mark but very happy to see they are still coming, eventually.
