D.C.’s New Manifest Opens With Multiple Bars, a Restaurant, Retail, and Grooming Salon | Eater DC

"A massive, multi-concept cultural hub in NoMa, this second and much larger Manifest location blends upscale cuisine and creative cocktails with for-sale fashion and grooming in one sleek, 11,000-square-foot setting. The newcomer has already drawn the likes of Michelle Obama and is designed to celebrate D.C.’s people and culture through a feeling of togetherness rather than politics. Beyond the Erik Bruner‑Yang–led restaurant and two cocktail bars, you can head upstairs to a cafe bar for a latte while you work, browse men’s and women’s gear from brands like Marni, MM6, and Hoka, or get a shape-up at the luxe, mint-hued barbershop alongside the first-floor bar. A glossy spiral staircase leads to more retail and the main dining room, and a sultry speakeasy hides downstairs all the way in the back past the bathrooms." - Lenore Adkins
