Elevation DC reports that One Eight will start with a white whiskey (not aged) and vodka, followed by gin. The space is 12,000 square feet.
Taste of Georgetown moves to K Street, between Wisconsin and this year. Now in its 21st year, the food-and-drink festival will feature epicurean delights from 35 restaurants, as well as a craft beer and wine pavilion.
There’s also live music, a cupcake eating competition and an Iron Chef-style competition among three Georgetown chefs: Chef Girard Pangaud of Malmaison, Chef Kristy Cleaveland of Degrees at The Ritz Carlton, and Chef Melanie Kurtz of Paolo’s.
Entry is free, but you need to purchase tasting tickets for food and drinks.
