D.C.-based Eaternity — The Social Restaurant Group, which owns La Vie, Provision 14 and Bar Bao, has signed a lease for a waterfront restaurant at the recently completed RiverPoint apartment building in Buzzard Point.

The yet-unnamed Latin American restaurant will occupy just over 8,000 square feet of ground level space at RiverPoint and will open sometime this spring. Brokerage firm KLNB represented the building landlord. Capstar Commercial Realty represented the restaurant group.

Western Development, Akridge Co. and Orr Partners developed the RiverPoint project.

The new restaurant will join The Point and Beside the Point, a 13,000-square-foot restaurant and market recently opened by Fish & Fire Group, the restaurant group that owns Nick’s Riverside Grill and Tony & Joe’s Seafood Place on the Georgetown Potomac riverfront.

D.C. Central Kitchen also leased almost 36,000 square feet at RiverPoint for its new headquarters.

RiverPoint, at 2100 2nd St. SW is the redevelopment of the former U.S. Coast Guard headquarters, a 480-unit apartment building, one of two luxury apartment buildings completed at Buzzard Point. The 450-unit Watermark is nearby at 1900 Half St. SW.

A 154-room Cambria Hotel Washington D.C. Capitol Riverfront, the first hotel in Buzzard Point, at 69 Q St. SW opened earlier this year.

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.
