The Meatball Shop hitting 14th Street

By Jeff Clabaugh

WASHINGTON — The Meatball Shop will open its first location outside of New York City this summer on 14th Street Northwest.

Known for its mix-and-match meatball menu, The Meatball Shop opened its first location on Manhattan’s Lower East Side in 2010. It has since added five other locations in Manhattan and Brooklyn.

The D.C. location will be at 1740 14th Street, N.W.

“Everyone loves meatballs. Meatballs aren’t just a New York thing,” said chef Dan Holzman. “When we started in 2010, we quickly learned that meatballs make people smile, and that’s exactly what we want to bring to D.C. — a little slice (or ball) of happiness.”

Holzman started the original Meatball Shop with his childhood best friend, Mike Chernow.

Its menu features five varieties of meatballs, including beef, pork, chicken, veggie and a daily special. Its mix-and-match menu also features sauces, including tomato, pesto, parmesan cream, spicy meat sauce and mushroom gravy.

Diners can also order their meatballs on a toasted baguette, or smash on a brioche bun with mozzarella or provolone cheese.

Massachusetts court hears arguments in lawsuit alleging Meta designed apps to be addictive to kids

By The Associated Press
BOSTON (AP) — Massachusetts' highest court heard oral arguments Friday in the state's lawsuit arguing that Meta designed features on Facebook and Instagram to make them addictive to young users. The lawsuit, filed in 2023 by Attorney General Andrea Campbell, alleges that Meta did this to make a profit and that its actions affected hundreds of thousands of teenagers in Massachusetts who use the social media platforms. “We are making claims based only on the tools that Meta has developed because its own research shows they encourage addiction to the platform in a variety of ways,” said State Solicitor David Kravitz, adding that the state's claim has nothing to do the company's algorithms or failure to moderate content. Meta said Friday that it strongly disagrees with the allegations and is “confident the evidence will show our longstanding commitment to supporting young people.” Its attorney, Mark Mosier, argued in court that the lawsuit “would impose liabilities for performing traditional publishing functions” and that its actions are protected by the First Amendment.
