Daily Provisions replaces Dupont Circle Foxtrot (its ‘Half Smokes’ are patties)

By Jeff Clabaugh

Prolific New York City restaurateur Danny Meyer has opened a Dupont Circle version of all-day Daily Provisions, replacing a former Foxtrot Market, one of several that abruptly closed last year.

Meyer’s Daily Provisions has 11 locations in New York City, New Jersey and Boston, one of nine restaurant concepts Union Square Hospitality Group operates, including Union Square Cafe, The Modern and Grammercy Tavern. It will open a second Daily Provisions location in Boston next year.

Popular for breakfasts, Daily Provisions’ menu includes several versions of a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich. One of them — exclusive to the D.C. location — is a “Half Smoke” egg and cheese sandwich — a nod to the District favorite.

Working with purveyor MeatCrafters in Landover, Maryland, it developed a coarsely-ground, and heavily-spiced sausage patty that’s like a half smoke, only not in sausage form.

Sandwiches throughout the day are all made-to-order. The menu includes fancy-sounding salads and roasted chicken with sides. The Dupont Cycle location will serve local beers, including Honor Brewing, Crooked Run Coast and Aslin. Daily Provisions also caters.

Breakfast sandwiches are $9.50 to $15. Lunch salads and sandwiches are $10 to $19. Dinner entrées are $14 to $22. The chicken dinner with sides is $45 and serves three.

There’s a bakery with sweets, including crullers — New York’s sweet little, curled cakes that are deep-fried and covered in cinnamon or maple — and cookies. The entire menu is available for dining indoors or outdoors on-site, or when ordering carry out through its own delivery platform.

The indoor dining room has a mix of tables, seating 54, and the Q Street outdoor patio seats 16. The Dupont Circle location is open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. at 1061 Connecticut Ave., a high-profile corner with lots of Metro traffic, a block from the Q Street Metro entrance.

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.
