SOCIAL CALENDAR FOOD & DRINK For gastronomes who revel in food experiences, it’s time to reserve a table in the nation’s capital.

Washington joined Michelin rated cites in 2016 for the first time and the 2020 Washington, DC Michelin Guide is brimming with starred restaurants, affordable hot spots and essential eating insights covering nearly 130 restaurants in the metro area. And, many of them participate in Washington Restaurant Weeks.

18 restaurants in Washington, DC have earned highly coveted Michelin stars. Four newcomers received one Michelin star this year: Rose Previte’s Maydan, Aaron Silverman’s Little Pearl, Matt Baker’s Gravitas and Daisuke Nakazawa’s Sushi Nakazawa.

In addition, two restaurants maintained their two-star status:

José Andrés’ minibar and Aaron Silverman’s Pineapple and Pearls.

Other popular one-star restaurants include Kinship from chef Eric Ziebold, Plume in downtown DC, and Masseria

by Nicholas Stefanelli in the NoMa neighborhood.

HORSE & WINE COUNTRY Virginia’s Horse Country is the true essence of luxury, boasting everything needed for an elegant countryside retreat. Steeple chasing in Virginia has been a way of life since early colonial times.

The world-renowned Virginia Gold Cup has been a fixture on the Washington social scene since 1922. In 2016, Great Meadow (the site of the Cup) doubled the size of its property, completed a World class arena, and hosted the first FEI Evening Nations Cup™ ever held in North America.

Middleburg, Virginia is the region’s horse and hunt country capital. It’s home to the 5-Star Salamander Resort & Spa which epitomizes Virginia’s hunt country elegance. Amenities here include a cooking studio, full-service equestrian center, a spa, zip lines and more. Middleburg’s historic downtown is lined with chic boutiques, elegant home goods stores, and superb cafés and restaurants.

Over the past several years, Virginia winemakers have produced award-winning, highly drinkable

wines on stunning estates that nearly rival California and Europe. And, as viticulture has continued to evolve, breakthroughs have brought highly competitive varietals.

Nearly 100 wineries are concentrated in Northern Virginia, many in Loudoun County. The soil, climate, air and drainage make it ideal. Top wineries include RdV Vineyards, Boxwood Estate Vineyards and Greenhill Winery. Virginia is also now home to 206 licensed breweries, which contribute $9.34 billion annually to the state’s economy.

Also located in Washington, Virginia is one of the Washington metro area’s treasures, The Inn at Little Washington. This Relais & Chateaux property features 24 lavishly appointed bedrooms and a three-star Michelinrated restaurant. Helmed by James Beard-winning chef Patrick O’Connell, the restaurant has been rated the number 1 inn in North America and number 2 in the world in Travel + Leisure Magazine’s World’s Best Awards.

MUSEUMS & GALLERIES Washington is home to some of the best museums in the world. Many of them are found within the Smithsonian cluster of museums on the National Mall. The Smithsonian museums and the National Gallery host tons of exhibitions, special events and lectures that draw every age group. And, it’s all free, there is no admission cost. The Washington area is also home to a great number of small private galleries, such as Gallery Plan B, in addition to a host of small museums with amazing collections such as The Phillips Collection and The Kreeger Museum.

MUSIC VENUES & THEATERS DC is the birthplace of some of America’s greatest musicians from Duke Ellington and Shirley Horn to Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters. The DC metro area is loaded with local theaters, such as Source, and venerable theaters such as The Kennedy Center. The Fringe Festival, held every summer, is a local favorite, as is the Shakespeare Company which performs an annual Free-For-All each August.

But, it isn’t just theater that draws residents throughout the area, musical choices are abundant too. Top 40 pop artists entertain at the The Anthem, the 9:30 Club, Wolf Trap and Capital One Arena. The National Symphony Orchestra inspires with classical music at the Kennedy Center while smoky jazz singers perform at clubs throughout the city.

SPORTS For those more sports minded, the Washington area is home to five professional sports teams. It’s impossible to ever be bored. The Nationals (baseball), the Washington Football Team (football), the Capitals (hockey), the Wizards and Mystics (men and women’s basketball), DC United and DC Spirit (men and women’s soccer) and DC Defenders (XFL) all have legions of Washingtonians supporting their teams.

CITY CENTER | LUXURY RETAIL With more than 40 retailers and restaurants—plus prime office space and luxe residences—CityCenterDC is the hub of all that is happening in DC. The retail destination takes up several city blocks and features shops like Paul Stuart, Jo Malone London, Gucci, Hermès, and Burberry to name just a few. In addition to women’s and men’s clothing boutiques, CityCenterDC also features jewelry stores like David Yurman and Bvlgari, French day spa Caudalie, and car maker Tesla.

A number of great restaurants such as Fig and Olive, Milkbar and Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steakhouse are on call as well.

CityCenterDC sponsors free events throughout the year, including outdoor exercise classes, evening concerts and a tree lighting during the holiday season.

YACHTING & BOATING On the East Coast circuit, yachts typically summer in New York, Newport, R.I. and New England and winter in Florida or the Caribbean. However, Annapolis has long been a wellknown, but less talked about mainstay of yachting and boating on the east coast in summer.

The Washington region is also home to a burgeoning and expanding number of marinas from the SW Wharf Marina in DC to Columbia Island Marina in Arlington to so many others.

Kayaking and canoeing take on a life of their own as evidenced by their numbers on both the Potomac and Anacostia. Life on the water is a growing and ever expanding part of the DC region with the stunning and scenic Chesapeake Bay as its playground.

PHILANTHROPY & REGISTER Washington has the unique honor of being both the Nation’s and a World Capital and acts of philanthropy and philanthropic works are a large part of the region’s DNA. On any given week, there are a plethora of events where charities hold events to benefit the community. What makes Washington so unique is that it’s a city that embraces and allows all to participate at all levels of giving.

Washington has its share of high dollar fundraising and charity events and like any major world city, their own A List. For this, Washingtonians turn to The Green Book. So noted for its emerald cover, it is the official Social List of Washington. The Green Book remains the preeminent list of Washington’s society and arbiter of social precedence in the metropolitan area. Selection to the book is by invitation only.

The DC area continues to climb on GEN’s annual ranking of the nation’s top 10 biopharma clusters and was ranked fourth in 2019.

BANKING AND FINANCE With international institutions such as the World Bank, the IMF, the Inter-American Development Bank, the Federal Reserve and the Department of Treasury, the Washington, DC area pairs naturally with banking. Add in companies like Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, and the region grows its finance portfolio. Investment banking is largely tied to real estate and the defense industries, and there are several private equity and venture capital firms such as Carlyle, NEA and Steve Case’s Revolution that play all sectors of the economy.

HOTEL CHAIN HQS The Washington metro area has a long and storied tradition in the hotel and hospitality industry. After all, the term ‘lobbyist’ derives from one of the oldest and most prominent hotels in the city – the Intercontinental Willard Hotel. (People would gather in its lobby to promote their causes to congressmen, and sometimes even the President himself, who would be dining or having a tipple at the prominent hotel.) The metro area is home to the headquarters of Marriott International, Hilton, the Choice Hotels group and Modus Hotels.

DC ST END

We Washingtonians refer to our city in many ways, the more formal, The District of Columbia or Washington, DC, to be precise, or the more causal DC or The District. To be a true Washingtonian, you need to know the lay of the land, literally, from NW to NE to SW to SE. DC’s neighborhoods are dynamic and vibrant, with each offering something unique and compelling depending on what one seeks and the lifestyle one wants to live.

From sleek city condos in the Navy Yard, the SW Waterfront and City Center, to stately homes in Spring Valley and Forest Hills, to classic federal style rowhomes in Logan, Dupont and Capitol Hill, to the large city homes in Cleveland Park and Woodley Park, to the estates lining the cobblestone streets of Georgetown, to the mansions of Kalorama, and to the vibrant, traditional row homes of Petworth, Columbia Heights, Trinidad and Anacostia, Washington’s neighborhoods have something for everyone.

Foggy Bottom

ORAMA

KALORAMA NEIGHBORHOOD

Those less familiar with the District believe the most exclusive neighborhood in Washington is Georgetown. However, it is actually Kalorama that rightfully claims ownership of this distinction. While the community is not gated or otherwise secured, residents who live here are the wealthiest, most private, and most elite of the city. Most denizens find their names annually printed in Washington’s “Green Book,” the social register of D.C. Kalorama is actually divided into two separate communities. Kalorama Triangle, which is more urban and Sheridan-Kalorama, which is more residential. However, both areas sprung from the same source – the original estate from which the dual communities received part of their names.

Kalorama is one of the most pleasant and charming neighborhoods of Washington. It is stuffed with mansions, embassies, chanceries, schools and other private residences.

A neighborhood landmark is its version of the Spanish Steps.

Although, Kalorama is primarily residential, it does not lack in convenience and variety. Restaurants cater to different tastes and styles. Bistros, boutiques and bars line the part of Connecticut Avenue contained in Kalorama. And a quick, five-minute walk down Connecticut Avenue yields all of the treats and varieties of Dupont Circle eateries. Likewise, Adams Morgan is adjacent to Kalorama and offers a plethora of dining choices. Also, both Woodley Park and Dupont Circle metro stations service the Kalorama neighborhood which means ease in traveling about town.

NAVY YARD = CAPITOL RIVERFRONT = CAPITOL WATERFRONT NEIGHBORHOOD

Washingtonians, for the last 200 years, have always referred to the urban waterfront area, from southeast Washington to south of Capitol Hill and north of the Anacostia River, as anything other than The Navy Yard. The area was given a new name of “Capitol Riverfront” by the neighborhood Business Improvement District, but most businesses refer to the area with the branded name of Capitol Waterfront.

No matter what it’s called, one thing is sure, it’s one of DC’s hottest neighborhoods. Forbes ranked it as one of the coolest neighborhoods in the world and Money as one of the coolest neighborhoods in America.

The area is home to the Nationals Park baseball stadium, Audi Field, restaurants, sports bars, beer gardens and wineries.

You never need to cook again. Looking for a spectacular place to live and work? Look no further.

The Navy Yard neighborhood has two amazing large parks – Canal Park and Yards Park – as well as six other public parks. Navy Yard provides the best of both worlds having both a residential and an urban feel to it. So, looking to run, play tennis, do yoga in the park, walk the pups? You have the space to do it.

The Navy Yard offers a full array of activities, including free outdoor movies, festivals and a Farmer’s Market offering fresh produce. The Navy Yard is home to about 33,000 people and offers a wide selection of housing options and price points.

You can get anywhere from the Navy Yard with the Navy YardBallpark Metro Station being right there and the Capitol South Station less than a half a mile away and Interstate 395 just a few minutes’ drive. There are buses available, as well. Not to mention, it’s also a walker’s paradise.

SW WATERFRONT & THE WHARF NEIGHBORHOODS

A spectacular renaissance is underway in DC’s smallest quadrant, home to the SW Waterfront and The Wharf, a new 24-acre development of high-end retail, restaurants, office space and condos on the channel. The glamorous new Wharf development has completed Phase I—a mile-long stretch of mixed-use apartment and condo buildings and hotels; Phase II will bring 1.2 million more square feet of mixed-used space designed by 11 renowned architects. Residents and tourists can expect to see new construction into the foreseeable future in what The Washington Post called one of the biggest developments on the East Coast.

Part of the Wharf’s development included revitalizing the Maine Avenue Fish Market, the nation’s oldest continuously

operating open-air seafood market that was built in 1805.

New residents and tourists who flock to the waterfront might also discover the vibrant Blind Whino arts center, housed in a whimsically painted 19th-century Baptist church, or find refuge at Saint Dominic Church, a beautiful example of gothic architecture built in 1875.

Residents are steps away from all the action: a revitalized Arena Stage with its award-winning theater programs; three live music venues, including the 6,000-seat Anthem Theater; an 18-hole golf course; and all manner of water sports and leisure cruises. On top of that, the city’s hottest restaurants are opening locations there, ensuring abundant fine dining with breathtaking city views across the water.

Though the new luxury apartments and condos on the waterfront command top dollar, developers have included plenty of affordable condos and townhomes in the mix.

Gangplank Marina, a longtime waterfront fixture, is known for its friendly and quirky houseboat community. The neighborhood offers an eclectic collection of architecture, from 18th-century Federal to Mid-Century Modern, and everything in between. Four buildings were designed by I.M. Pei, the architect of the stunning prism outside of The Louvre. Check out innovative and offbeat events at the one-of-a-kind Culture House DC, a brightly colored former Baptist church. Catch a $5 jazz and blues concert on Friday nights at Westminster Presbyterian Church, or chill with the hipsters at the Capitol Skyline Hotel’s outdoor pool. Pay tribute at the Titanic Memorial, an inspiration for the Academy Award winning movie.

With plenty of hotels, including the luxurious Mandarin Oriental and spacious Hyatt Place Washington DC/National Mall, Southwest & The Wharf is within walking distance to renowned sites including the International Spy Museum, the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum, the Hirshhorn Museum & Sculpture Garden and the U.S. Capitol.

Southwest & The Wharf offers a strategic home base for enjoying sublime views of the Potomac River and gaining easy access to the National Mall. While this close-knit community experiences a renaissance and redevelopment, visitors are welcome to sample an authentic DC lifestyle and culture.

H STREET CORRIDOR NEIGHBORHOOD

The H Street Corridor was built in 1849, providing a home for the workforce that was building much of the city infrastructure we know today, including Union Station. It soon became a thriving commercial district when streetcars were introduced in the 1870s. Thanks to a resurgence of investment in the early 2000s, the neighborhood’s evolution continues today as developers push new retail and condominiums further eastward.

The “Hopscotch Bridge” over the tracks of Union Station takes you away from the formality of Capitol Hill to a 1.5-mile stretch of colorfully diverse street life, where carefully restored row houses mingle with new luxury apartment buildings.

The heart of H Street Corridor is brimming with restaurants, coffee shops, bars and cultural attractions, such as the newly revived Atlas Center for Performing Arts, which

was originally built in 1939 as a 1,000-seat movie theater.

Named a Great American Main Street by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the corridor’s independently owned shops and galleries are quickly being joined by large mixed-use development and refreshing retail.

Streetcar service returned to H Street in 2016, starting at Union Station and running the length of the corridor before turning down onto Benning Road toward the riverfront. It’s a true full circle from its earlier life when streetcars heralded H Street’s original boom.

As the corridor has evolved into a sought-after destination for shopping and nightlife, real estate prices have kept apace.

Townhouses are the go-to first for buyers in this area. When they can be found, penthouse units in new condo buildings reach well over $1 million.

GEORGETOWN NEIGHBORHOOD

Location in Georgetown is largely defined by whether you live east of Wisconsin Avenue in the so-called East Village, or west of Wisconsin Avenue in the West Village. The cobblestone and streetcar rail-lined streets of the West Village are sometimes the deciding factor when a buyer can’t decide between the two sections of the neighborhood. Both areas are primarily dominated by Federal row houses, and narrow ones at that.

Many of these homes are more than 200 years old and have been well maintained or restored. They vary in size and style ranging from turreted Victorians to low, boxy Colonials with a few condo developments scattered around the neighborhood.

Near the Potomac River is 3303 Water Street, a modern building that was developed in 2004. Wormley Row, a converted schoolhouse on Prospect Street, will soon start the townhouse

phase of its project that will be complete next summer.

Top-notch restaurants are far too many in number to count as are the vast number of shops and boutiques that envelope the area. Nearly everything can be found in Georgetown. Home furnishings, clothing, shoes, stationery, antique, bath and body products stores (both national and local) line the streets in a parade of commercial delights. Drugstores, markets, cafes, shoe repair shops, optometrists, hair salons and doctors’ offices crowd the sidewalk spaces. Restaurants, bars, pubs and fastfood outlets swell with their numerous patrons. Georgetown is one of Washington’s favorite neighborhoods and this fact is visibly noticed every day of the week by the sheer number who gather here.

FOGGY BOTTOM & WEST END NEIGHBORHOODS

Ask folks what the neighborhood of Foggy Bottom conjures in their minds, they might say culture, as it is the home of the behemoth Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Or, possibly, governmental institutions and non-governmental organizations such as The United States Department of State, the World Health Organization or the World Bank. Another sure bet would be excellence in education as the home of The George Washington University. The Watergate may also be mentioned for both those who like intrigue and scandal. And high-end real estate might make the list. Some of the highest price points are found in Foggy Bottom.

The neighborhood offers convenience to its residents.

The Foggy Bottom/GWU metro stop and the Circulator bus provide residents with easy transportation choices. A Whole Foods on GWU’s campus (the only Whole Foods on a university campus in the United States) is always jam packed

with students and staff from local government agencies, InterMonetary Fund and World Bank, among others. The easy access to Georgetown, Dupont Circle and downtown make the neighborhood attractive, as does its proximity to the National Mall.

Just north of Foggy Bottom is another dynamic neighborhood of the District. The West End, with its very specific boundaries received its name from Pierre L’Enfant himself. It is the westernmost part of his original plan for the city of Washington, before the annexation of Georgetown.

This neighborhood has seen a blitz of redevelopment over the past few decades and is now one of the most trendy (and expensive) neighborhoods to live in. The Ritz-Carlton moved into the neighborhood to join the Westin and Park Hyatt, which for decades had hosted visiting diplomats and celebrities. The redevelopment of The West End has been significant.

ARLINGTON NEIGHBORHOODS

Arlington truly does have it all. Arlington is America’s smallest self-governing municipality and one of America’s wealthiest, most educated and fit. It’s often called America’s Only Boutique County. Whether calling North Arlington or South Arlington home, beautiful trees line walkable neighborhoods incorporating an urban village concept that truly provides the best in urban suburban living.

Gorgeous neighborhoods like Lyon Park, Lyon Village, Country Club Hills and Arlington Ridge with a wide range of single-family homes in numerous styles populate the county.

Luxury townhomes are found in Courthouse, Clarendon and Shirlington with Rosslyn and Crystal City/National Landing offering condominium buildings with stunning views of the

river and the monuments. Regardless of the neighborhood or the type of home, Arlington offers something for everyone.

Arlington is home to some of America’s largest companies from Amazon HQ2 to Nestle to E-Trade and offers some of DC’s best high-end shopping, restaurants and activities. It has highly rated schools, convenient public transportation with easy access to the airports and DC. Arlington is friendly, welcoming and provides a true sense of community.

MCLEAN NEIGHBORHOOD

McLean is one of the DC region’s most sought-after communities, located just minutes from Washington, D.C. and Arlington. Home prices in McLean’s neighborhoods are not only among the most expensive in Virginia, but consistently rank among the most expensive in America.

The community is home to many diplomats, business people, members of Congress and high-ranking government officials, partially due to its proximity to Washington, D.C. and the Central Intelligence Agency. It is also a town of artists.

McLean has more artists, designers and people working in media than 90% of the communities in America. This concentration of artists helped shape McLean’s character.

McLean is known for its luxury homes. It is also known for its nearby high-end shopping destinations: the Tysons Corner Center and the Tysons Galleria. Tyson’s has become an urban hub of industry and revitalization and is home to Hilton Hotel Corporation, Capital One and Gannett. Capital One recently opened its Capital One Concert Hall.

Most importantly, McLean is also known for its sense of community. Throughout the year, families participate in local events and cheer their teams during the many Little League games and soccer matches. It’s a great place for families with children to consider.

LOUDOUN COUNTY & GREAT FALLS NEIGHBORHOODS

Loudoun County, identified as the richest county in the U.S., offers more than luxury homes. In fact, the county has a surprising diversity of housing types and amenities that range from walkable town centers to wineries to rural areas where one can hike and fish as well as multiple public and private golf courses. Once an agricultural landscape with three hundred dairy farms anchored by the historic town of Leesburg, Loudoun County has been transformed into a hub for high tech companies, federal agencies, government contractors and transportation companies. Employment growth is anticipated to continue with the extension of the Silver Line Metro into Loudoun County linking the area directly to downtown Washington, D.C. The first sight of unrestrained greenery upon heading west into Virginia from Washington, D.C., is the town of Great Falls,

a leafy refuge for the power players that brave the Beltway every morning. Here, twisting country lanes converge on a town center with a green, a local coffee shop and store owners who call their customers by name.

These trees, pastures and open space are pricey. Median real estate prices put Great Falls into the top 10 percent of Virginia neighborhoods. It is thought of as the area’s version of Beverly Hills with the exception that in this community, it is all about discretion. Despite its roster of boldface names, people make an active effort to create a close-knit community, tied together by history and traditions……and peace and quiet.

Families gravitate here for the outdoor space. For those who own a five acre yard, but it just is not enough, Great Falls Park lies just to the east, with its fifteen miles of trails and overlooks of the Potomac.

POTOMAC NEIGHBORHOOD

Potomac’s reputation for having enormous homes, with accompanying price tags that can go north of $8 million, is not exaggerated. A drive through some of the subdivisions off River Road, the main artery coming from the District, can be jaw-dropping. Many of the houses resemble castles in both architectural design and size, and all sit on large, well-groomed plots of land, off quiet streets that lack sidewalks. Unlike many suburban neighborhoods, Potomac does not include an even mixture of residential and commercial properties. Instead, it is a secluded community where a car is an absolute requirement.

The neighborhood’s dining options are varied. There’s Renato, an Italian restaurant that has lots of fans; Hunter’s Inn, which serves American cuisine; Normandie Farm, an

upscale French restaurant; and Bezu, a slightly hipper French place. Aside from those, there are several fast food/take out options. Potomac Village Shopping Center is the largest, most popular place for locals to shop and dine out. The shopping center is designed as an outdoor mall with plenty of trees and quaint brick buildings that residents can stroll. The Potomac neighborhood is also located near Westfield Montgomery Mall, where shoppers can find department and specialty stores.

BETHESDA & CHEVY CHASE NEIGHBORHOODS

Bethesda is home to the headquarters of multinational and domestic powerhouses. Lockheed Martin, Coventry Healthcare and Marriott International are all based here. PNC Bank, Capital One, Charles Schwab and Fidelity all have regional offices here.

In 2022, Marriott, the world’s largest hotel company, will move its corporate headquarters to downtown Bethesda, bringing with it over 3,000 employees, 22 stories of office space, an additional hotel with more than 200 rooms, and 800 onsite parking spaces. What it’s also bringing: renewed excitement over a wave of development designed to further transform the Maryland neighborhood.

cleaning firms, stylists, doctors, dentists and CPA firms. And Bethesda is also home to the Congressional Country Club. This course is recognized as one of the most prestigious clubs in the world. It has hosted four major golf championships, including the 2011 United States Open.

The community of Chevy Chase, which lies on the Maryland side of the boundary with Washington, D.C. is a neighborhood of enchantments. Some of the region’s top shops, restaurants, cinemas, bars and clubs are found here as is some of the area’s top real estate. It’s lively and fun. It’s hip and high-end. And it’s always active and enticing.

Close to the nexus of the original Chevy Chase settlement, on Connecticut Avenue, specialty boutiques and local markets dominate. Rock Creek Park buttresses the neighborhood and provides idyllic settings for picnics, hikes and other outdoor activities.
