After opening in September, Arris Noble and his six-person team at Ballston’s newest sandwich shop, Superette, have gotten their sea legs.
The name, Noble explains, takes customers back in time to the corner store with hot food and a limited selection of grocery items.

The group Friends of the Mount Vernon Trail are asking for help over the next three weeks to fix a trail bridge next to Theodore Roosevelt Island.

A new Italian market is opening at Pentagon Row with a grab-and-go version of a beloved D.C. restaurant.
Napoli Salumeria (1301 S. Joyce Street) will have the sandwiches, pastas, salads and desserts of the Michelin Bib Gourmand-rated Napoli Pasta Bar in D.C.
