According to the Washington Business Journal, Arlington is seeking a restaurant operator to open an establishment in the new Artisphere cultural center, which is the space formerly occupied by the Newseum. The new Artisphere is scheduled to open in October, though the new restaurant will not need to have its operations in place by this time.

Missy Frederick, a reporter for the WBJ Biz Beat, reports that a deal with Busboys & Poets fell thru. Ms. Fredericks goes on to say that Arlington County is looking for a “cutting edge, locally-based proprietor for the space.”
