"Situated near the Friendship Heights Metro stop, Alexandria-based Common Plate Hospitality’s (CPH) first project in Maryland includes a full-service Tex-Mex restaurant (Urbano), full-service bar (The Heights Bar), speakeasy (The Turncoat), and eight local food stalls. That includes Miami-style Saoco Cuban Eats (winner of Urbano’s “Stall Wars” competition), Sky Lantern (Thai), and Yasmine (Mediterranean). The Heights will also feature a sushi stall from Moon Rabbit chef Kevin Tien; slow-smoked meats and boba teas (Supreme BBQ and AunTea Boba); vegan Indian street foods from chef Priya Ammu (DC Dosa); and Arlington favorite Mimi’s Handmade, which plans to serve soft serve, cookies, and pints of ice cream." - Tierney Plumb
