Our thanks to for the write-up in the new fall issue of Edible DC! We are looking forward to helping to kick off the Salon Series this week at Teaism Penn Quarter...
"Moving to Washington from Falls Church in the mid-1990s, I was hungry for the richer, more complicated cultural life of the city. Living in Adams Morgan, with my partner working in Dupont Circle, we were drawn to places that captured what was emerging in Washington. Teaism was one of them."... https://edibledc.com/a-place-to-come-back/?_hsmi=439652187

Edible DC Leads a Teaism 30th Anniversary Conversation

09/09/2026

Join us as we kick off the Edible DC Salon Series with a special celebration of Teaism's 30th Anniversary! 🍵 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. Inspired by this, our program will spotlight questions such as, “What transforms a business into a beloved institution? Why do certain places become woven into the fabric of a city?”

Join a dynamic conversation about the places that shape our lives and define our communities. Featuring Teaism leadership, local storyteller Austin K. 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.
