Ruth’s Chris is coming to Reston Town Center

By Jeff Clabaugh

Reston Town Center is doubling down on steak. The latest addition announced is Ruth’s Chris Steak House.

News of the Ruth’s Chris lease comes two months after Brazilian steakhouse Fogo de Chao signed a lease for a restaurant at Reston Town Center.

Both are replacing former restaurants. Ruth’s Chris, expected to open late this year, replaces Il Fornio restaurant, which closed its doors in 2017.

Fogo de Chao, with no firm opening date announced, will replace former Chinese and Thai restaurant Big Bowl, which closed in 2020.

The new Ruth’s Chris location, on Market Street across from Reston Town Square Park, will be part of Retail at Midtown, Boston Properties’ mixed-use residential and retail building. KLNB, the building’s leasing agent, recently signed a lease for Et Jolie Aveda Salon and Spa as well.

It will be Ruth’s Chris’ fifth D.C.-area location and won’t be far from the Morton’s steakhouse located at 1956 Market Street.

Boston Properties recently began the first big makeover for Reston Town Center in 30 years, including the rehabilitation of the Fountain Plaza areas and the Reston Town Center Pavilion area.

News of the two new restaurants comes a month ahead of the closing of the Reston Town Center Clyde’s restaurant after 31 years.

The 4-million-square-foot Reston Town Center now has more than 50 retailers and 30 restaurants, more than 2,000 residences, 3 million square feet of office space, a hotel and a multi-screen movie theater.

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.
