Art and the DrinkAfter a 5-year renovation, the Portrait Gallery has re-opened its doors in downtown Washington, DC. The breathtaking space immortalizes people who have impacted American society. Rosa Parks, George Washington, Marilyn Monroe, Andy Warhol are but a few diverse and notable figures who peer back at spellbound visitors.
Some of the bars and restaurants around Penn Quarter celebrate the Smithsonian’s newest and brightest jewel by creating cocktails in honor of the neighborhood museum.
Here are a few places to wet your whistle after a stroll through the gallery:
