Moveable Feast: A Taste of DC

Moveable Feast - Don't just EXPERIENCE DC - TASTE it!

A Taste of DC

Come along on this three-hour nibble-and-nosh fest to DC phenomena that celebrates the locally grown and locally invented. We'll stay on the move, serving up some of our favorite tales of gastronomic history along the way -- from the inaugural party turned food fight to Mrs. Terrell's quiet milestone in civil rights. Our territory first covers the heart of downtown, where nary a suit in the lunch-hour crowd realizes he's swarming in Washington's former market neighborhood. These days think bubble tea, ginger scones and coffee roasted only a stone's throw away. Bring along a subway fare card, as we'll next be hopping the Metro to catch two of DC's most famous drop-in eateries. We'll introduce you to an edible creation known as a half-smoke then stop in for a dessert course at the bakery/cafe founded by DC's current Food Network celebrity. Munch, sip, walk, repeat. Who's counting calories with rhythm like that?

You'll discover a monument to prohibition, and how ethnic cuisine helped to establish a special group of immigrants. You'll learn how pride in a neighborhood eatery overcame the pain and rage of a pivotal moment in the civil rights movement, and how enterprising and award-winning chefs continue today to showcase the versatile and worldly soul of the District of Columbia.

And if you're still hungry after the walk is through? The walk includes plenty of information and opinion about the growing roster of fine restaurants throughout the city!

Cost of snacks is NOT included in walk fee.
