FOOD WALKING TOUR WITH MANGIADC

The Society is offering its members the opportunity for a food walking tour sponsored by MangiaDC Food Tours on Sunday, July 24, 2016 at 12:30pm. The price per person is $64 per adult and $49 per child (12 and under). This tour is being coordinated with The Lucchesi nel Mondo/Tuscany Club and the Passatempo Meetup. The tour is comprised of the following:

1. Meet in the lower hall of the Darlington House, 1610 20th Street N.W., Washington, DC;

2. Three food tasting portions and wine pairing + one dessert tasting, at any of the following restaurants: Darlington House, Pasha’s Kitchen, Floriana, Pizza Paradiso, Obelisk, Urbana, Al Tiramisu and/or Dolcezza;

3. Knowledgeable guide who walks the group around the neighborhood of Dupont Circle, where we learn about the architecture, history, and culture of historic and fun locations in Washington, DC; and

4. Tour duration is 2 ½ - 3 ½ hours which includes under 2 miles of walking, which is broken up by stopping at four different locations as you break to eat food.

For anyone who participates, we can meet at Holy Rosary Church/Casa Italiana, 595 3rd Street, NW, and carpool to the meeting location, Darlington House. We will depart Casa no later than 11:50 a.m. If you would like to take advantage of this fun and “delectable” tour that includes some very good Italian food, you can purchase a ticket at https://kiosk.eztix.co/kiosk-optimised/208159 RSVP deadline is Wednesday, July 20. (Three AMHS members did this tour last year, Sarah Scott, Jim Mustachio, and Maria D’Andrea-Yothers; it was quite interesting to learn the history of the Dupont Circle area and to eat some exceptional Italian food and dessert).
