For over 30 years, The Washingtonian has invited readers to vote for the best people, places, and services in the area. Readers rate everything from pizza parlors, sliders, and cocktails to Congress members. Washingtonian editors weigh in too with our picks of the best Washington has to offer.
At the Verizon Wireless Best of Washington Party, we invite the winners to set up booths and serve up their best. In 2009 more than 1,500 guests, celebrities, restaurateurs, and Leukemia & Lymphoma Society supporters filled the National Building Museum to sample, sip, and socialize.
The sold-out event featured more than 50 of the area's 100 best restaurants and celebrated chefs, including Michel Richard of Citronelle and Central, Robert Wiedemaier of Marcels and Brasserie Beck, Tony Conte of the Oval Room, Scott Drewno of the Source by Wolfgang Puck, and Brian Voltaggio of Volt Restaurant... and Top Chef fame.
Verizon Wireless demonstrated its new text-to-screen technology. FedEx co-hosted the private publisher's reception. All funds from the silent auction and a portion of ticket proceeds went to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
The Verizon Wireless Best of Washington party proved to be the highlight of the summer season. It's a winner for sponsors, suppliers, guest, and beneficiaries.
