Expansions

Good news — D.C. is still on the radar for Xi’an Famous Foods. The New York-based noodle favorite said back in 2014 that it would like to expand to D.C. (as well as Boston). Eater NY checks in with the company, which just bought a massive production facility to aid in its expansion. D.C. and Boston are both still coming, but it will be awhile — reps tell New York that Boston will likely be first, and even that’s a year or two off. [ENY]
