"NoMa’s rooftop renaissance continues this week with the opening of Yara, a scenic new spot to sample refreshing caipirinhas, Peruvian street foods, and gold-dusted octopus across the 13th floor of the Washington Marriott Capitol Hill. Yara’s Japanese-Peruvian head chef Yuki Nakandakari previously led the kitchen at D.C.’s Ocopa Restaurant and Baltimore’s Pisco Restaurant." - Tierney Plumb
