Alexandria’s Port City Brewing partners with La Tingeria, bringing a kitchen onboard

Alexandria’s Port City Brewing Company is graduating from a rotating schedule of food trucks to a permanent on-site restaurant in a partnership with La Tingeria taqueria.

It will be the third Northern Virginia location for La Tingeria. Its others are in Falls Church and Fredericksburg. It has made Washingtonian’s Best 100 Restaurants list for two years in a row.

The taqueria at Port City is expected to open in October.

The menu at Port City will include La Tingeria’s signature dishes, like goat and beef birria tacos and chicken tinga tacos, as well as new items, including lamb burger sliders and bacon-wrapped hot dogs.

“Our customers have been asking for more consistent food options,” Port City founder Bill Butcher said. “We are delighted to partner with David Pena and his team. Their menu is both authentic and unique, and the quality is top-notch.”

Port City, with a trophy shelf full of awards, was founded by Butcher and his wife Karen in 2011. It brews a line of year-round beers, as well as seasonal and specialty beers. Its brewery and tap room is at 3950 Wheeler Ave. in Alexandria.

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

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.
