The latest outpost of the rapidly expanding Pinkberry frozen yogurt chain opens Friday in Georgetown. On Thursday, the staff is handing out free samples of the stuff to all passersby from noon until 4 p.m. The first 500 in line are also expected to receive a complimentary cupcake from that neighboring tourist-magnet bakery you might [...]
Add another name to the ever-expanding list of New York brands (Carmine's, P.J. Clarke's, Shake Shack, Luke's Lobster, among others) now taking root in the District. Low-calorie frozen dessert chain Tasti-D-Lite, seen on virtually every Big Apple street corner, is opening its first D.C. location next month in Dupont Circle. Expect a second location later [...]
Trendy frozen yogurt chain Pinkberry is opening its second D.C. shop at 3288 M St. NW in Georgetown. With a knack for attracting long lines and being located across the street from fellow lemming magnet Georgetown Cupcake, Pinkberry's arrival promises to make M Street sidewalks even less manageable. The fustercluck worsens tonight. To celebrate the [...]
Restaurant Spawns: Corduroy is planning a "very casual" companion restaurant next door to its 9th Street NW digs that'll offer, among other things, "salads, soups and pizza, as well as features like New Jersey shore hot dogs, pupusas (a Salvadoran street food) and salmon." [WBJ] Surprise! Yes, there are some good bagels in the D.C. [...]
On April Fools Day, the planning geeks over at Greater Greater Washington identified D.C.'s vast cupcake desert, parts of town that are not served by lack full-service and non-full-service cupcakeries. Georgetown, naturally, has no shortage of places that peddle frosted treats, but what about ice cream? As Georgetown Metropolitan reports, the stretch of Wisconsin Avenue [...]
Maybe we should have less food porn on Y&H and more chef porn? Then again, I'm not sure this photo of David Guas qualifies in the latter category, but it would seem to redefine, at least for the readers who flocked to it, the idea of "arm candy." Take a look at your Top 5 [...]
Sitting in the fashionable plasticity of Pinkberry in Fairfax, I’m sampling my very first cup of the famous fro-yo, trying to imagine those heady days back in 2005 when the yogurt shop debuted in West Hollywood and created a whole new kind of addict. At the time, Angelenos were willing to suffer parking tickets, neighborhood [...]
Earlier this week, I decided to take my tongue out of my cheek and give it a taste of the fro-yo that "launched a 1,000 parking tickets": Pinkberry. I solicited the help of colleague and food historian, Joel Denker, who had written a section in his book, World on a Plate, about the evolution of [...]
NBCWashington broke the news yesterday with prose that bordered on the orgasmic: Pinkberry is coming to D.C.! (I'm not sure how many exclamation points to include here, but the general tone of the item merits at least four, I think.) Now understand, the item names no location, not even a neighborhood. Just the promise of [...]
How sweet is this? The Sweetflow Mobile, that rolling froyo operation from Sweetgreen, will be giving away "FREE small cups of sweetflow with toppings this Saturday," according to its Facebook page. And not just once, but twice. The truck will be parked from noon to 2 p.m. at 25th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue NW and [...]
