DC restaurants make strong showing on ‘Best for Vegetarians’ list

By Jeff Clabaugh

WASHINGTON — OpenTable‘s new list of the 50 best restaurants for vegetarians in America includes several D.C. restaurants.

In fact, seven of the 50 on the list are located in the District.

D.C. ranks third for most representation on the list, behind the 11 located in New York and nine in California.

The list is generated from more than 12 million OpenTable diner reviews between September 2017 and August 2018. Qualifying restaurants were scored according to the percentage of reviews for which “vegan” and “vegetarian” was selected as a special feature.

The list is not composed of restaurants which offer solely a vegetarian menu, but rather a menu with excellent vegetarian options.

Here are photos of dishes from the seven D.C. restaurants on OpenTable’s 50 Best Restaurants for Vegetarians in America (presented in alphabetical order):

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.
