The space has been more than a year in the making, as The Yard announced D.C. expansion plans in May 2016. For the six-year-old company, it’s been a year of expansion to new cities outside its home in New York. The Brooklyn-based company has nine locations in New York, as well as one space in Philadelphia, one location in Boston that opened in November.
