French Cafe Maman Doubles Down on D.C. With Georgetown and Union Market Arrivals | Eater DC

"In contrast, the Union Market location at 1300 4th Street NE embraces an industrial, new-build aesthetic: a stenciled staircase and floor and an indoor pergola covered in florals aim to create a “warm, enchanted, getaway vibe,” even as the team navigates the challenge of translating Maman’s homey, detail-oriented brand into a very different architectural shell. The Union Market shop will act as the commissary kitchen supporting the Bethesda and Georgetown locations as well as its own operations, feature sizable event space (about 150 standing, 40 seated), and carry limited-edition to-go cup designs—including Michael Crossett’s layered digital images of D.C. landmarks—while sitting adjacent to food halls and other neighborhood coffee shops." - Emily Wishingrad
