more good news and good eats for the dc/virginia area

wolfgang puck is set to open a new restaurant at the forthcoming newseum complex on pennsylvania avenue and 6th street, n.w., adjacent to the smithsonian museums. (via abc 7 news.)

the restaurant will be called "source by wolfgang puck" and it seems they are shooting for the opening to coincide with the new newseum's -- "fall 2007." the cuisine will feature the "flavors" of virginia and maryland (i smell fresh seafood!) but it will have the "spago" stamp all over it.

a personal note about the newseum--i revered the ny branch of the freedom forum/newseum. they hosted an exhibit called "replay! great moments from sports illustrated" many years ago that was marvelous. there were a few other events there that i happily "nerded out" at. i was disappointed when they left nyc...

if you're interested in journalism, history, current events, or if you loved good night, and good luck, you will love their cybernewseum . there are also traveling events and events hosted by newseum partners that are worth checking out until the new newseum's grand opening.
