NRG Explores a Pop-Up

Neighborhood Restaurant Group owner Michael Babin tells Northern Virginia Magazine that he's considering turning the patio next to Planet Wine into a space for pop-ups. The idea would be to pull in a lineup of NRG's own chefs and sous chefs from Vermilion, Evening Star Cafe and more to show off the things they've been working on. And perhaps the group would "ultimately do a small format restaurant to showcase something like that." [NVM]
