The Art of Belonging: How Places Become Part of a City

Edible DC Leads a Teaism 30th Anniversary Conversation Edible DC Salon Series Kickoff Join us as we kick off the Edible DC Salon Series with a special celebration of Teaism's 30th Anniversary! It’s a fantastic chance to connect, sip some amazing tea, and dive into the story behind this iconic spot. Come experience good vibes, great company, and a love for all things tea. Don’t miss out on this fun and relaxed gathering! For three decades, Teaism has been more than a restaurant. It has been a meeting place, a refuge, a workspace, a lunch spot, a first-date destination, and a gathering point for countless Washingtonians. What transforms a business into a beloved institution? Why do certain places become woven into the fabric of a city? Join a conversation about the places that shape our lives and define our communities. Featuring Teaism leadership, local storyteller Austin Graff, and Deputy Director of Development, Design, and Preservation at the DC Office of Planning, Radhika Mohan, this discussion explores why certain places become more than destinations—they become part of the city's identity. We will have tea and light refreshments prepared for guests in the lower floor of Teaism Penn Quarter at 5:50. You are welcome to order a larger meal or drink upstairs ahead of time https://www.teaism.com/30th/
