Honeygrow Now Open In Chinatown & Penn Quarter DC (716 7th St NW)
Honeygrow, a fast casual restaurant concept based out of Philadelphia, opened yesterday in the heart of Chinatown and Penn Quarter (716 7th St NW). The eatery specializes in salad, stir fry, and fruit bowls (dessert), and it uses a fully automated ordering system. The menu can be found here.
We tried out Honeygrow at the pre-opening and found the automated ordering system easy to use. The food worked out fine too and we enjoyed the real sugar sodas at the soda fountain.
