Logan Circle’s Commissary is closing (have a meal then buy the plates)

By Jeff Clabaugh

Longtime Logan Circle restaurant Commissary is closing after 16 years at the end of the month.

After its final meals are served, it will put much of the restaurant’s contents up for sale.

The restaurant opened on 1443 P St. in Northwest D.C., across from Whole Foods Market in 2008, with a loungey feel, couches, and an all-day menu with breakfast, lunch, happy hours and dinner. Its P Street patio was often packed for brunch and dinner.

“It is with a heavy heart after much consideration that we announce the closure of Commissary, our beloved neighborhood restaurant,” the restaurant posted on its website and social media.

“We encourage our neighbors to continue to support the many small business that Logan Circle offers. These small businesses are essential to making Logan Circle & the whole of DC the strong community it is.”

No reason was given for the closing. The final day of service at Commissary will be July 28.

The Commissary menu had a little of something for all tastes, serving hearty breakfasts, sandwiches, burgers, salads and pizza, full entrees with fish, steak and chicken. It also hosted mixology classes and other events.

The restaurant will have a sale on July 29 and July 30 of miscellaneous furnishings, glassware, silverware and other items. Times for the sale have not yet been announced.

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.
