Sweetgreen, the eco-friendly salad and fro-yo shop founded by local Georgetown grads, celebrated the opening of their second location in Dupont Circle Thursday night. Sweetgreen is a little bit like Chop't meets TangySweet -- the restaurant offers a selection of signature and design-your-own salads and tart frozen yogurt with fresh fruit toppings. The restaurant also lives up to its name by using biodegradable/compostable dishware and utensils, recycled napkins, and reclaimed wood. Still not enough for you?

To top it off, the take out menu is studded with seeds that will sprout into actual flowers if planted. more ›
