"Six years after debuting in Shaw, Takoda Restaurant & Beer Garden unveils a sophomore D.C. location directly across from Nationals Park on Thursday, June 9. The 7,000-square-foot millennial magnet (1299 First Street SE), nearly twice the size as the original, replicates the layout in Northwest with a second-floor space and third-story rooftop that fast-growing Better Hospitality Group (BHG) calls the biggest in the neighborhood. The cashless new venture offers room for 385 patrons across both floors." - Tierney Plumb
