“After making it through the most challenging period imaginable for restaurants with all locations intact, and now hitting record sales, HipCityVeg, the plant-based fast casual restaurant based in Philadelphia, is resuming its aggressive growth strategy this fall. The expansion will begin with a new DC location in Brentwood.
The restaurant group currently has brick and mortar locations in DC’s Chinatown and Dupont Circle. It will open a delivery only location, which the company calls a “Go Kitchen,” in NE DC’s Brentwood neighborhood on September 20th.
This month, HipCityVeg also broke ground on its Navy Yard, DC location, which was delayed by the Pandemic. That store will open in early 2022 for dine-in, takeout, and delivery. (more…)

From the Mayor’s Office:
“Today, Mayor Muriel Bowser and District Department of Transportation (DDOT) Acting Director Everett Lott cut the ribbon on the new Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge. They were joined by federal and local officials including Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton and House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, as well as descendants of the bridge’s namesake and guests of the family.
“The new Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge is a fitting tribute to an iconic Washingtonian, a forefather of Black excellence who we continue to emulate and who helped build Washington, DC into the city we are today. This project was never just about getting people from Point A to Point B, it was about building a more connected DC – connecting Ward 8 and Ward 6, connecting residents to jobs and prosperity, and connecting our entire community to the future of multi-modal transportation,” said Mayor Bowser. “Today, we celebrate all the federal, regional, and local partners who helped get us here, including our champions in Congress, Congresswoman Norton and Majority Leader Hoyer, the Douglass family, and the teams at the District Department of Transportation and South Capitol Bridge Builders.”
The two-day celebration of the new bridge kicked off on Labor Day with a 5K attended by approximately 4,000 people. It was immediately followed by a community day on the bridge deck with music, food, and a pop-up vaccination site. (more…)
