Baltimore's first Sweetgreen opens today in Harbor East




The proceeds, 100% of them from the grand opening today of the Baltimore location in Harbor East , November 16  will be going to their sweetgreen in schools Baltimore partner, Living Classrooms Foundation.

Sweetgreen  a simple but profound concept of creating a destination for tasty food that is good for you and sourced locally was a brainchild of three Georgetown University graduates back in 2007.  In fact the first of the 33 national locations of Sweetgreen is still in the old Little Tavern location on M Street in Georgetown.   

Transparency is one of the key components at Sweetgreen, both literally and figuratively.  You can see in the kitchen, a blackboard touts the local suppliers and a neon sign brightly states the seasonality of the menu; fall, spring, summer, winter – in fact, it changes 5 times a year. Their menus on the website, www.sweetgreen.com, are reflective of their regions I. E. California versus Washington DC.
