New York mega-restaurateur Danny Meyer has signed a lease for the former Foxtrot Market space in Dupont Circle, his Union Square Hospitality Group confirms with Axios, where they'll open a branch of popular all-day cafe and bakery, Daily Provisions.

Why it matters: One of D.C.'s busiest corners is claimed by one of the biggest names in the hospitality biz.

Catch up quick: The Shake Shack founder, whose portfolio runs from casual haunts to Michelin-starred restaurants, briefly expanded to D.C. in 2020 with an Italian seafood spot in Navy Yard that shuttered in the pandemic.

Last year, Foxtrot Market abruptly closed all of its locations. The Connecticut Avenue space, Foxtrot's busiest D.C. location, has sat empty since.

Zoom in: This may be the first Daily Provisions location outside of Manhattan, where Union Square Hospitality Group operates seven.

The cafe-bakeries run morning through night, and are popular for French cruellers, breakfast and lunch sandwiches, salads or a comforting roast chicken and wine come evening.
There's also takeout and quick-grab "provisions" like sauces and coffee.
