Hardywood, Beet Box and more will open at the Richmond airport this year
By the end of the year, folks flying out of Richmond airport should have four new places to eat or grab a drink. Why it matters: Hardywood Park Craft Brewery and The Beet Box juice bar, two local brands, will be some of the new options. The big picture: The Capital Region Airport Commission, the group that owns and operates Richmond International Airport, last week signed off on two new full-service restaurants and bars, plus two new coffee and cafe kiosks, for the airport. The newcomers were selected from the commission's request for new concession proposals last year, according to BizSense, which first reported the news. Three will land in Concourse A (the one on the right / if you're flying American or JetBlue), while Concourse B (if you're flying Delta, Southwest or United) will get the fourth. Faber, Coe & Gregg, a New Jersey-based airport concession vendor, will operate the restaurants and Richmond's own Beet Box will run the two kiosks. Zoom in: The Hardywood Park Craft Brewery (airport edition!) will go near gates A-15 and A-16 (in place of open seating) and include a full-service restaurant and bar, plus grab-and-go options, per the resolution adopted at last week's meeting. The Beet Box's two concepts (one called The Beet Box and the other Homegrown) will go near gates A-8 and A-11. Concourse B travelers won't be left behind though. A Wolfgang Puck Bar & Bites will taxi in near gates B-14 and B-15. All four should be open by the end of the year, airport spokesperson Troy Bell tells Axios.

Raise a glass at D.C.'s hottest rooftop bars
Raise a glass at D.C.'s hottest rooftop bars With its noisy buzz of titillating political intrigue, Washington, D.C., isn't known for sitting still and dishing up boring. This appetite for creating showy attention-grabbing news has produced a delightfully positive trend: a jaw-dropping spike in bars with a number of rooftop bars across the city is booming, with more than 30 new or renovated locations opening since 2020. What's all the fuss about? In D.C., the sheer exhilaration of being at a rooftop bar is fed by the city's height restrictions, capped at 130 feet since 1910. This unique feature for an American city has fostered the rooftop boom, since scenic views are available from nearly all of scores of great bars offering views of some of the world's most iconic landmarks, it can be paralyzing to know how to whittle your must-visit list. Here are five standout venues to experience this city's passion for elevated socializing: CUT Above Rosewood Washington on the banks of Georgetown's historic C&O Canal Towpath, this elegant rooftop features Wolfgang Puck's elevated culinary program along with an elevated view. It showcases an indulgent interpretation of his full-service restaurant CUT, located on Rosewood's ground refined bar bites while sipping artistic cocktails such as Georgetown Gem, with freshly juiced watermelon, and High Society, with fresh guava and lime. Enjoy enchanting views of the historic area with its spires, the winding Potomac River, Francis Scott Key Bridge and the Kennedy Center. ART DC Arlo Washington DCNear the National Building Museum, National Mall and Union Station, ART DC opened in late 2024. This is your go-to for Japanese and Pan-American themed food and drink — such as edamame hummus, miso salmon rolls and yakitori. Try the Shogun Old Fashioned or the signature Kitsune's Elixir with spiced rum, pear and sake. Note: They offer a "reverse happy hour" from 8:30 p.m. to close. Its convenient central location is mere blocks from two major Metro subway stations, and the view of the U.S. Capitol is bewitching. VUE Rooftop DC Hotel WashingtonThis see-and-be-seen rooftop bar and restaurant is so close to the White House you can peek into the grounds, sweeping the imagination into the dramatic happenings of America's most famous address. Shift in your seat for glimpses of the stately Washington Monument, just two long city blocks at VUE are humorously named with nods to D.C. politics such as Power to the Peaches and Scandal of Kernal Nature. The venue serves dinner with a dedicated children's menu and offers weekend brunch featuring Tres Leches French toast and steak and eggs. Moonraker Pendry Washington DC – The WharfDripping with refinement, this haven sits atop the Pendry hotel in the Wharf District, a lively live-work-play area on D.C.'s waterfront. Find yourself either indoors at the cozy dark wooden circular bar or on the open terrace. By day the space projects a casual lounge personality, whereas the evening scene is energized with boozy culinary focus is Japanese-inspired, with unique cocktails and a bountiful sake and Japanese whisky list. Views include the lively Wharf, Washington Channel, the Washington Monument and Jefferson Memorial. Top of the Gate The Watergate HotelAt this seasonal open-air rooftop oasis, you'll rise well above past crimes and misdemeanors to enjoy a 360-degree view over the city. Plane-spotters will love being on the Potomac River flight on Mediterranean-inspired fare like seafood towers and truffle fries paired with seasonal cocktails while reveling in sweeping views of the river, The Kennedy Center, Washington Monument, Theodore Roosevelt Island and the crisscross network of bridges connecting the district to Virginia.

Wolfgang Puck and his Chinois chicken salad are here to stay
At 75 years old, world-renowned chef Wolfgang Puck has no plans of slowing down. '[I plan to] keep cooking until I die — I hope,' he said last month during a visit to the Washington Post test kitchen. Earlier in his career, when he spoke with older chefs, they shared how much they looked forward to retirement. Puck feared he might succumb to the same fate. But his passion is as strong is ever, he said, and he remains heavily involved with his restaurants. (Puck was in Washington to get ready for the opening of lunch service at Cut in Georgetown.) 'My wife has to tell me, 'Hey, when are you going to spend time with the family?' So I always tell her, 'Well, the restaurant is my family, too.''
