The restaurant is opening in redesigned space that was formerly home to Bangkok Joe’s, which closed last year. The newly designed space has three indoor dining rooms and an outdoor terrace.

River Club’s menu is an eclectic mix of Lebanese, Italian and Spanish dishes. The menu includes small plates, shareable plates, skewers and full meals for the table.

River Club is from the co-founders of Michelin Bib Gourmand-recognized Residents Cafe and Bar in Dupont Circle.

River Club is in good company at Washington Harbor, with some of D.C.’s most recognized restaurants, including Nick’s Riverside Grill, Tony & Joe’s Seafood, Farmers Fishers Bakers, Sequoia Grill, Fiola Mare and Guapo’s of Georgetown.

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.
