Asian-inspired food hall The Block comes to Pike & Rose

WASHINGTON — The restaurants just keep coming to North Bethesda’s Pike & Rose, with the latest edition serving up Asian Street Food.

The Block, an Annandale, Virginia, food hall will open an 8,500-square-foot location at Pike & Rose at 967 Rose Avenue in 2019.

The announcement said the Pike & Rose location will include communal tables and offer diners Asian street food, Taiwanese Snocream, Hawaiian poke bowls by Pokeworks and more.

Renderings of the build-out show a large, two-level space designed around a main floor bar.

This week, Nando’s Peri-Peri opened its newest D.C.-area location at Pike & Rose, joining a dozen other restaurants, both fast casual and formal at the development, with at least eight other restaurants coming soon.

Federal Realty Investment Trust’s Pike & Rose development also includes a Canopy Hotel by Hilton. Its Hilton’s second Canopy property — the other is at The Wharf. The development also includes several retailers, including L.L. Bean, REI, H&M and Bluemercury, an iPic movie theater and four apartment and condominium developments, as well as offices.

It also has a rooftop farm from D.C.-based Up Top Acres, which sells produce to Pike & Rose residents and office workers.

Oil prices slip and Asian shares are mostly lower as investors sell chipmaker stocks

U.S. futures edged higher after losses on Wall Street. In South Korea, recent drops in its benchmark Kospi, a big beneficiary of the global boom in artificial intelligence, have been seen by some analysts as a reflection of broader doubts about massive investments by technology giants in expanding capacity for AI.
