The Graham Rooftop | PHOTOS BY JAY SNAP KEEPING UP WITH THE NELSONS: It is said that during the Revolutionary War George Washington’s favored horse was nicknamed “Old Nelson.” While most colonial artwork depicts Washington on his other mount, “Blueskin,” he favored Nelson, a gallant chestnut undaunted by cannon fire and the sounds of battle. Old Nelson’s bravery carried Washington through much of the Revolutionary War and ultimately to the surrender of Lord Cornwallis and the British Army in 1781 at Yorktown. To celebrate this extraordinary bravery, a group of local professionals formed The Young Nelson Society of Washington to support the Washington International Horse Show and other causes. “All of these charities embody the courage, bravery and trust needed to achieve independence and overcome adversity, like the partnership between George Washington and Nelson,” said chairwoman Mallory C. Lobisser, who hosted the reception with cochairmen Mo D. Babtiste, Justin A. Batoff, Whitney Burns and Olivia L. Stringer (who graced WL’s September cover).

TASTE OF LOGAN CIRCLE BENEFIT 14th Street/Logan Circle restaurants | PHOTOS BY JAY SNAP CELEBRATE LOGAN: Local restaurants, businesses, neighbors and friends united to celebrate the fantastic foods and flavors of the 14th Street/Logan Circle corridor while raising critical funds for N Street Village. Fifteen restaurants participated, spanning from 15th and M streets NW to 14th and U streets NW, to accommodate more than 550 guests — 300 more than last year. The TTR Sotheby’s-sponsored feast raised $50,000 for Washington’s largest provider of comprehensive services for homeless and low-income women. Guests sampled their first tastings at check-in — homemade pesto made by Village residents from ingredients in their community garden.
