The DC Traveler

Mmmm on M Street

by Jon on August 14th, 2007

On the first Saturday of each month, the elegant Ritz Carlton in Washington DC, usually in conjunction with a local embassy, hosts a sampling of food and drinks from a foreign land.

The Ritz’s chefs create three dishes (smaller portions) plus dessert along with local cocktails from the featured land. The embassy or a travel bureau also presents an informative multimedia presentation about the destination.

“Mmmm….on M Street,” takes place in the Ritz’s ritzy lobby lounge.

The schedule for the rest of the year is:

• September - Swaziland - celebrate their Independence Day.
• October - Austria - enjoy the traditional fun and food that’s Oktoberfest.
• November - Monaco - enjoy Monaco’s National Day.
• December - Thailand - celebrates the King’s birthday while discovering the tastes and colors of the Siamese state.
