D.C.-based deals website LivingSocial opened a storefront in Chinatown with a bang last month, featuring a pop-up restaurant from Mike Isabella and performances by the band O.A.R. Company. Spokeswoman Griffin says the company, which offers locals online deals and discounts at locations around the city, is moving in new directions by opening a physical space in D.C.

Tell me a bit about the LivingSocial storefront. 918 F St. is a first of its kind venue, bringing together consumers and merchants to connect and experiment together with pop-up restaurants, unique classes, whatever. Over the past two-and-a-half years, we’ve been talking with merchants all around the country and heard they want to work with LivingSocial in different ways.
