We went to new Brazilian steakhouse Texas de Brazil in Mount Vernon Triangle for the Best of DC Voting Party. We snapped sponsor Washington City Paper's Alicia Merritt with Boundary Stone's Matt Croke and DC Brau's Brandon Skall.

Guests could vote for their favorite DC places, people and things. Here, Fitness Together Georgetown's Dan Babicki, Meredith Mangold and Kristina Stolpovskaya, who are competing for best personal training after being last year's runner-up.

There were tastings from various restaurants' salad and appetizer bars and a selection of skewered meats. Here, Treasury attorney Aidia Greenlee, DoD's Jamesia Hobbs and business consultant Jocelyn Hadrick.

Port City Brewing Company provided tastings of their most popular beers. Here, World Bank's Aldo Pazzini, Kaiser Associates' Sam Weyrauch and Johns Hopkins' Natalie Clark.

Merjan Bubernack & Travis Holler contributed to this issue.

STAY SAFE THIS WEEKEND.
