Rabbit gives away free cupcakes pre-opening

Yet another venue is opeing in Clarendon offering gourmet cupcakes, and this one has a unique name: Rabbit. The restaurant is opening to the pubilc on Friday, so today they were giving away free cupcakes to get the word out.

Passers by who took up the offer could choose from one of 12 Red Velvet cupcakes, including the reliably delicious Cookies 'N Cream pictured here. With salads and sandwiches being served in a pleasent and open little seating area inside, I'm sure that Rabbit will do well in Clarendon when they open tomorrow.

Lyon Hall officially opens tonight

After much anticipation, Lyon Hall should be officially open to the public tonight. The high end and stylish restaurant has generated a good deal of buzz and I'm sure it will be packed this upcoming weekend.

It's in a good location, just two blocks directly south from Clarendon Metro station on North Highland Street. Being flanked by the Phoenix Condo tower, the Reserve Apartment tower, 7-11, and Moby Dicks, Lyon Hall brings some commercial diversity to this corner in Clarendon.
