Reasons to Love D.C. in 2016 - part 1

Each year around Valentine’s Day we ask some of our favorite D.C. residents what they love about D.C. We round up artists, musicians, architects, designers, gallery owners, non-profit folk, musicians, local heroes, chefs and more that make D.C. a city we love.

We’ve asked them to submit a list of 5 things/people/places/food plates/drinks/anything really that they LOVE (all caps, boldnened) about Washington and they kindly obliged.

Below, you will find our first batch, courtesy of some very hard working men and women. Read, feel the butterflies in your stomach and don’t forget to comment with your lists...
