DC Holiday Party Help!

Hey all,

I'm planning the holiday party for my office and could use a few suggestions! I'm planning a holiday party for 85 people, non-profit budget, and, here's the catch, all the food has to local. We're looking for a private space in Dupont Circle, Adams Morgan, or U Street.

Any suggestions? It's coming up quick!

Thanks!

      And maybe a time machine would help too.

        Haha yes, Bigcitywine, unfortunately the party passed about a year ago. It was a raging success though, held at Local 16. Thanks to everyone for their input!

      Not sure what "non-profit budget" consists of but I think Darlington House tends to buy local. I believe they also are some sort of a green building...but double check that.

      I believe they also have a private room upstairs, otherwise, with a group that size you would have to rent out the entire restaurant.

      You are going to be hard pressed to find any restaurant that buys all the food local...except maybe Sweetgreen.

        Sweet green does not but all local, they have a local sourcing program. Where do you get local oils for example.

          Good point. I can't think of any restaurant that is 100% local.
