• Taste a delightful cup of tea in The Willard’s Peacock Alley. A Washington, D.C. tradition for more than 150 years, this opulent setting features live harp music, fine teas, and an array of beautiful tea sandwiches and pastries.

• Try a Mint Julep at the Willard’s own Round Robin Bar, where it is said that Senator Henry Clay introduced the Southern favorite to Washington. Ask if legendary bartender and unofficial historian Jim Hewes is present to learn about the cocktail habits of former presidents.

• Enjoy a meal in the main dining room of The Occidental restaurant. A gathering place for the nation’s political powerbrokers, sports figures, and celebrities since 1906, the photos of these notables line the walls of the restaurant and serve as a barometer for the city and a reminder of the honorable, scandalous, and fun adventures that have taken place within its walls.
