A great, warm way to get to know a city is by taking a food tour. I mean, who doesn’t love to eat? These tours provide not only samplings from fine restaurants, but also history and culture of a particular neighborhood. Probably the most well-developed company in DC providing these tours is DC Metro Food Tours (http://dcmetrofoodtours.com/). I took its Capitol Hill tour last winter and was able to learn a lot about the history of buildings in that neighborhood, and I tried foods from around the globe (Indian, Greek, Mexican, etc.). A deterrent for these tours is the cost (tends to range from $50-70+), but check Groupon, LivingSocial, and the other deal sites because they will feature food tours from time to time.
Excellent read, I just passed this onto a friend who was doing a little research on that. And he actually bought me lunch because I found it for him smile Therefore let me rephrase that: Thank you for lunch! “They may forget what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel.” by Carl W.
