In the Streets of Downtown Washington DC

Alpha Gamma, George Washington University

Although I have visited GW and Washington DC a couple of times before, I always feel like I don't know many places in the city. But what I love about it is that it is so easy to get everywhere! I walked so much during my visit, but getting an Uber or hopping on the Metro is so simple too.

One of my first stops was Baked and Wired, a wonderful cafe and cupcake bakery in Georgetown. Kind of on a whim, I tried the dirty chai cupcake. I am not a big fan of chai tea or chai lattes but this cupcake was amazing. It was vanilla cake with the chai spices and espresso frosting; literally perfect! The iced americano also made a great pairing with the cupcake!

Friday was Founders' Day so Alpha Gamma planned a Pink Shabbat event at the town house. We had cookies and lots of challah and it was a great little event!

 

Saturday was a gorgeous day so I look advantage of the weather by heading out for a good long walk around the monuments. I had been a couple times before but it is always fun to revisit them and make that trip all the way down and around the mall.

I also got to visit with the American and GW chapter advisors over brunch at Circa and I treated myself to dinner up in Dupont Circle. It was so much fun to be downtown all weekend and to experience such a different university culture from my own undergraduate experience!
