Yelpchella at the Embassy Row Hotel

UnilocalCHELLA WAS AMAZING. The ultimate Unilocal event of the year!
It was my very first official Unilocal event and what a way to usher me in! There were great drinks, bites, local vendors, people, upstairs, downstairs, music, a pool on a rooftop, lobster, Elites, ice cream and social media, hashtags and apps… it was everything! SENSORY OVERLOAD to exact and it was fun and it was a rush and I was shocked! I didn’t know how to process it all!
I know I’m way late in adding in my two cents, but the fun that was had is still heavily etched into my memory. I’m currently reminiscing… aaahhhhh! I’m still in disbelief how it was all pulled off. Since, I’ve made my way over the past few months to enjoy fares from the local vendors that were there– &pizza, Jubilee Ice cream and Luke’s lobster to name a few. The Embassy Row Hotel was very accommodating and fun. amazing space for a good time, friendly staff and good fare and drinks of their own.
Just amazing!!! (Did I use enough exclamation points!!!) Can I RSVP and hope to get on the list now? LOL
TIP learned from a newbie: Sign up quick and never show up to a Unilocal event late! Be there or be square!

It’s been a long time since I attended a Unilocal event in the District since Northern Virginia has been it’s own Unilocal Fiefdom for some time!
Parking was a bit of a nightmare — I drove as I was coming all the way from Haymarket, VA. No parking available at the Embassy Row Hotel — the garage was filled to capacity. I ended up parking at The Fairfax Hotel down the street.
The line to get in was insanely long — but for all that the line moved rather quickly. The famous Tara Lewis was one of the Unilocal staff checking folks in — I’d not seen her in forever and gave her a big hug!
My first stop was the rooftop area. While it was a bit of a hot day, there was a nice evening breeze coming in and it was comfortable. I ran into some long time Unilocal friends I’d not seen in forever (Hi Libby F. and Mike B!). I tried a number of foods and beverages up top, including a Rye Ale from Port City Brewing Co. (Alexandria, VA) — delicious! — and a cocktail that had some sort of Jalapeño component, plus a Maine-​Style shrimp roll — which was succulent and delicious. I also had a chance to say hi to the DC CM Kimberly — also had not seen her in a very long time!
I managed to sample several kinds of jerky on the basement level. All were tasty and tender. But after that, I gave up — the food and drink lines were ridiculously long and the HVAC system of the hotel was not keeping up with all of the Unilocalers who were radiating so much heat — the hotel started to get uncomfortable — to warm and humid for me!
Overall, a fun event — would have wished for better AC — not Kimberly or Unilocal’s fault that an old hotel like that can’t handle it.

Although my review is three weeks overdue, I am still finding myself plagued with Unilocalchella withdrawal syndrome. I have been to a few elite events before in NOVA and Richmond, however this was my first DC event and I was completely blown away! Entry was stress free and a breeze, and we were welcomed with 4 levels of Unilocal wonderland, complete with free drinks, bites, giveaways and even a Photo Booth and slow-​motion video booth! I had my Unilocalchella gear on, complete with my crochet kimono, booties, and top shop backpack prepared to carry those free handouts we all love. I was on a mission to explore as many vendors as possible.
Saying that I had a blast is definitely an understatement. The rooftop had a beautiful view, and the vendors were pouring drinks and slingin bites all night long. I loved the fact that most of the vendors did not run out of giveaways and bites until the last hour of the event. Some of my favorite vendors included Maki Shop, who offered samples of their entire hand roll menu (I had the poke tuna with black rice, and it was great) and Luke’s lobster who offered generous samples of their delicious shrimp rolls. The white dove drink from station kitchen and bar made with tequila, lychee, and jalapeño foam was easily my favorite drink of the night. I also appreciated the sweet and beautiful stems from Urban Stems, accompanied with a $ 5 off coupon code for Unilocalers.
Huge props to Kimberly S. and the rest of the Unilocal crew for throwing such an enjoyable event from top to bottom. We can’t thank y’all enough for throwing such an incredible Unilocal party! What a great soirée to bid a bittersweet farewell to Summer 2015!

Unilocalchella was INCREDIBLE! Kimberly and the other Unilocalers did a FANTASTIC job organizing this event! 4 floors filled with dozens of vendors, TONS of AMAZING food, drinks, and free giveaways. The highlights, for me, were Ruth’s Chris’ delicious meat stand, the Luke’s Lobster shrimp roll, that really fun silent disco dance party on the rooftop of the hotel, and those lovely flowers. The theme was Summer Festival Chic and it was definitely perfect!
The Embassy Row Hotel was such a great place to host this event. The hotel was chic and the rooftop level (one of the four levels where Unilocalchella took place) was LOVELY! Such an amazing 360 view of Washington, DC, a wonderful pool, and wonderful indoor and outdoor areas.
Here are the vendors whose stands I visited:
–Blackfinn DC

–Crème Restaurant and Bar
–Dirty South Deli
–Eat and Smile Catering

It was actually my fiancé’s first time at a major Unilocal event and he had a great time as well.
A word to the wise for future major Unilocal events — bring a tote bag to carry around all the freebies you get — you’ll find that your hands will be very full with all the freebies and delicious foods.
Unilocalchella was Nom-​arrific. It was my second large Unilocal event of this type (I went to another similar Yep event in 2014). I will continue to go to these amazing events! And definitely be an Elite, since you get access to the VIP Preview Hour before it gets too crowded!

Awesome! Awesome ! Awesome!
Four floors of fun! Hidden stairways. Rooftop pool. Great view. Food. Vendors. Photo booth. What more can you ask for? Great company!!!
It had it all! Headphones to allow you to jam to your own beat. Glow sticks! Bouquets of urban flowers. Jumping for jubilee for ice cream. 8 flavors! Thai tea flavor. Mini cones!
Pool with doughnuts and pretzels. Lounging around.
Love the cake and icing jars. Steak on a stick by ruths chris. Yum! And i could go on and on and on…
So great selection of vendors. Many I hadn’t seen before. Totally jamming party!

What a great event! HUGE thank you to the fabulous Kimberly, other awesome Unilocal staff, vendors and Embassy Row Hotel for having us!
My GF and I parked at the hotel across the way since the ERH was not accepting any vehicles and got in line at about 6:40. I loved that staff members came out and greeted the crowd, making sure everyone knew where to go once inside. I also loved how excited to see us everyone seemed to be. Both staff and vendors had a really great energy! It did feel like a festival and was laid out very well to accommodate the masses.
Once inside we took the Unilocal-​evator (I wonder how many times that guy said that? haha) up to the roof and enjoyed some nibbles and sips with a FANTASTIC view of the sun setting over the city. What a absolutely beautiful space! The pool, the cabanas, the grassy areas, all the lounge furniture and the décor really make a chic space. This was my favorite level for sure! I absolutely loved the silent disco, Port City, Luke’s Lobster and Ice Cream Jubilee. Days later and I am still thinking about that Banana Bourbon Caramel. Yum! Also, apparently I need to spend more time at rooftop pools. #lifegoals
We skipped a lot of vendors on the first floor since it was so busy, but I was able to try Eat and Smile Catering’s SXSW Tostada and LOVED it! Then on the bottom two floors I enjoyed seeing one of my favorite Charlottesville wineries represented: Early Mountain! I look forward to trying a class at Zengo and I was really excited to try Capital Kombucha, they even gave me a full sized drink to take home!
All around, this was a fabulous event and of course I loved any excuse to wear my flower crown.

Summer vibes all around at this fabulous Unilocal event. Led by the fabulous Kimberly S, her Unilocal team, and the staff at the Embassy Row Hotel through an over the top summer affair.
Unilocalchella was held at the Embassy Row Hotel Hotel which is located in Dupont Circle. When we got to Unilocalchella, we were greeted with a line. It wasn’t too bad (luckily we were part of the Elite preview hour at 7 pm). Check in was a breeze and we were given our maps with all of the events for the evening. Four floors of events! We started at the rooftop and took a ride up with one of the staff. They had a specific elevator just for the event, smart so we don’t block actual hotel guests from the elevators. We arrived at the top and were greeted with bites and drinks (thanks Port City!) all throughout the rooftop. The DJs were spinning beats as well as a new to me activity, the silent disco. It’s basically your personal DJ in your ears. They give you awesome headphones with music playing. Best thing, it didn’t overlap with the DJ so you could have your own playlist going.
Food was all over from ice cream, Luke’s lobster, Neat Meat, to bites from the hotel kitchen. They also had a signature drink made by the Embassy Row. The White Dove was amazing. Light and perfect for summer but had some heat from the habenero. Loved it!
In the ballroom, the DJ kept the it going with good beats. Vendors were everywhere. Food, vodka, and sangria. Maki shop and Blackfinn were my favorites. The bottom two floors were fun too. One floor had crafts, wine tasting, and Urban Stem (got my flowers on). Another floor had district doughnut (always a treat), and more beer tastings. There were also fitness demonstrations and massages.
Loved, loved, loved this event! It was really like the coachella of Unilocal.Perfect summer evening. Kimberly S, the Unilocal team, and staff at the Embassy Row Hotel put on an amazing event.

Since everything I want to say has already been covered in the other 118 reviews; I will make my straight and to the point…
This event was off the chain! Hook! and… well… OFF THE CHARTS! I had a blast and I really can’t think of a single negative thing to say. The food and alcohol vendors were plentiful. There were tons of different activities to partake in, and everyone dressed the part. I felt like I was at Bonnaroo except in DC sans Billy Joel and Alabama Shakes. I swear there were more flower headbands here than at Bonnaroo. Everybody owned their styles.
If I had to choose a favorite level — I’d say the rooftop takes it for me. I got to go straight up as my first stop during the elite happy hour and watch the sunset while drinking a White Dove which was a complete hit by all the reviews I’ve read mentioning it. I enjoyed every minute of being there.
I feel this was a summer blowout and a great way to bring the summer season to a close. *tear* Kimberly repeatedly outdoes herself so I am very curious to know what she has up her sleeve next go around.

I’m still fist pumping 24 hours later! What an awesome event by Kimberly S. and the entire Unilocal Team that showed up to help and offered some seriously good vibes! First of all, I knew I would like this event already since it was a take on Coachella and I love music festivals.
The rooftop was my favorite of the four floors because of the silent disco and dancing with Pooja T. Hey girl! The pool was also a nice touch and I love how Unilocalers were swimming in it with the fun foodie floaties. The ice cream at the rooftop was really great with some fun, innovative flavors :) I could hear some people complaining about the «free &pizza» while we were in line for the ice cream, so I hope everything was okay with that.
I started one floor below main level so it wasn’t very crowded and I was able to get a little neck massage with lavender oils and sage — my only complaint here is that it could have lasted longer! Love that Capital Teas was present — along with their worker who had just been mugged the evening before and was still serving with just his one arm. Major kudos to him for rocking that sling, and I always love their tea. There was some seriously amazing bites on this floor, with mini shrimp and grits and mini chicken and waffles. Love it! District Donuts on the lowest floor was equally amazing, and this was my first time trying them, so now I see what the hype is all about :)
I got to the main floor last, where the party was pumping — people slow mo-​ing with the photo booth, nomming, and sippin! Props to Cake Love for giving out mini takeaways, one of which is sitting in my freezer right now. Can’t wait to try it.
Again, so much fun seeing everyone dress up in flower crowns and festival gear! Great event idea for the end of summer!

Despite the fact that I had to be up at 5AM this morning for work, Unilocalchella was so worth losing sleep for. Kimberly and her team did an amazing, AMAZING job. I left the event feeling super satisfied and STUFFED. I know the event invitation clearly stated to expect light bites and noms, but there was just so much food, so much variety. I was a very happy girl last night indeed.
Since the event was spread throughout four floors, Will C. and I were on a serious mission to make every minute count. We darted through each floor making sure we could soak up all the event had to offer since we had to leave a little bit early. The Maki Shop really surprised me with some fresh tasting rolls. We had the salmon and it was delicious. Definitely bookmarking that one! I also loved me some of that Cookies & Cream from District Donut. I heard the employee saying that he started the night with 750 mini donuts, and by the time I made it down to the lower level, he was getting near his last batch. The rooftop was especially lovely and yay, Luke’s Lobster!
This was my first Unilocal DC event; I definitely left with a great impression and I cannot wait for more events to come!

Unilocalchella — what a great event! BIG shout out to Kimberly S! This was only my second Unilocal event, but I knew it was going to be good as I waited in the looong line to enter the hotel. When I got inside, I understood why. Four levels of fun, good food, and tasty drinks to share with over a thousand fellow Unilocalers.
The hotel’s rooftop aka The Overlook was my favorite location. My friends and I stayed there for most of the night. Why leave? There were Pinstripe pesto shrimp skewers, NeatMeat DC brisket sloppy joes, and Luke’s Lobster buttery shrimp rolls. Not hungry, how about drinks from Station Kitchen and Cocktails and Deep Eddy Vodka? Yes please! Plus, there was perfect weather and an awesome view of the sunset over the DC skyline. (The other floors got mighty warm with all those bodies squeezed in.)
Besides the food and drinks, there were massages, acupuncture, cycling, photo booths, crafts, and more! Definitely something for everyone. Best of all, there was wonderful company. It was fun to see some of the regulars and cool to meet new people (thanks silent disco)! I can’t wait for the next event. Top this Unilocal

Well, Well, Well… This is my very first DC event and I must say that I was absolutely floored! The location was awesome for metro riders, but I took my chances and drove. Lucky me, found a spot on Mass Ave just one block west of the venue. WINNING!
I arrived at approximately 6:45 and was met with a line half way down the street. The line moved quickly and we were ushered into the beautiful Embassy Row Hotel for a night of pure fun, AWESOME EATS, music, gorgeous views, and GREAT folks!
I decided to start on the rooftop, to take in the beautiful weather and upcoming sunset. As I ventured out onto the rooftop, I was met with a tasty treat from Pinstripes! I knew right then, that I was in for a host of tasty treats!
I stumbled upon so many yummy cocktails, beer, and treats, that I almost lost count. From the mango margarita (YUM!!), to the lychee tequila (based) cocktail, to the white Belgian beer (YUM), to the tea, I was in heaven!
Now back to the bites… The shrimp roll from Luke’s Lobster was phenomenal! There was a perpetual line to get your grubby paws on one of these! DELISH! Then on to another rooftop deck adjacent to the main one, to sign up for a free pizza at &Pizza. Did I mention ice cream for dessert? Well, how about a SUPER TASTY combination of 2 tiny, but very satisfying scoops…1 Peanut Butter Jam and 1 Cookies and Cookie Dough on yummy little sugar cone? THANK YOU ICE CREAM JUBILEE! Whew! I was stuffed, so I took a «rest.»
The «rest» involved chatting it up with other Unilocalers on the GORGEOUS rooftop (that I CANNOT wait to get back to this weekend — nice venue) for a few, then taking the elevator back downstairs to check out the other rooms.
It was pretty late when I decided to finally venture to other floors, so I missed out on some other restaurants that were there. Instead of sulking, some other Unilocalers and I decided to take a few pics using props, then a video. We had a BLAST! It was LOADS of fun!
Thanks to Kimberly for this FANTASTICALLY FABULOUS event!
Until the next one… Unilocal on, Unilocalers!

THANK YOU Unilocal:
For giving me the courage to dive in and eat something with octopus (first time ever) — Braised Octopus from Rural Society. So glad I tried it.
For introducing me to fresh flavors of Maple Butter, Cookies & Cream, Dulce de Leche and Blueberry Glazed at District Doughnut. I am going to have to find my way there since they broke my donut hiatus.
For providing me the opportunity to try the Cucumber Basil Lemonade and Cherry Blossom at Fou-Dre…who knew they have been in business for 30 years (those drinks were good).
For having me stand in line for a great lobster roll at Luke’s Lobster. I will stand in that line for them again… anytime.
For letting me partially make my own button… now if I can just find one of those button machines for myself (just bigger)
For placing one of those photo booths with silly props so that I could act a fool with my friends… the silly things we do in front of a camera — SnapFiesta Photo Booth
Last but not least, thanks to all the vendors that came out to this event — if I did not know about you before, I know about you now and KUDOS to Kimberly S and the Unilocal Team that assisted her in putting together this AWESOME Event.

Unilocal’s version of Coachella’s Music Festival was a big hit! I took advantage of the elite hour to explore as much as possible. Music, dancing, flowers, glow sticks, food, booze, and a pool. Who could ask for more? There were 4 levels filled with great new vendors/​sponsors. Some of my favorites were Pin Stripes’ pesto shrimp, Luke’s Lobster shrimp rolls, Ice Cream Jubilee’s mini cones, District Donuts award winning sweets, and Shobha’s wipes that quickly removed the permanent marker on my hand.
I have to showcase another major highlight of the evening which was discovering the SlowMo Party booth. We convinced our mild-​mannered homey Chris to participate and he even used props. Then enters Lynne and Tracy with their well-​choreographed Pimp skit. It was so ridiculous and funny.
I loved catching up with some of my Unilocal OGs (shout out Don C., Toya J, Chris S.,) and my new Unilocal friends –you know who you are! Would have enjoyed seeing the other OGs who helped show me the ropes. Last but not least, I want to thank God for my «good government» job and the ability to telework today. I got home after midnight on a school night! Such a ravishing and memorable event.

This was my first Unilocal event ever and it was amazing. I will start by saying Kimberly S did an amazing job and t was clear she worked her bum off to make this happen.
Everything was great. The venue itself was awesome. I loved the rooftop especially. There were a lot of people so it was nice to chill on the roof because it got hot pretty quick downstairs.
District donuts were amazing. I inhaled each kind, no joke. The guy standing there was so enthusiastic about district donuts although they were so delicious it wouldn’t have mattered who was standing there :) but it helped that he was all smiles.
The gallery food company was delicious. I actually plan to try them out very soon.
The beef sloppy joes were excellent. The sushi was a delight. The cake in a jar were nice to try.
The DJ was great! I wish there was more dancing on the roof without headphones but still fun!
Everything was a pleasure and I enjoyed finally meeting some genuinely wonderful Unilocalers for the first time.
Again many thanks To Kimberly S for a memorable event!

Thank goodness for elite happy hour, because I don’t know if I would would’ve made it into the building after 8 PM. There were so many people that by the time I made it to the rooftop, I resigned to stay there for the rest of the night (seeing people walk out from inside sweating bullets was a good indication to me that I was good on the rooftop).
Food. Drinks. Drinks and more drinks. Just when I thought I’d had enough, that White Dove was calling me back. And I was too what to oblige. Luckily, there were plenty of samples to go around. Not So Sloppy Joe’s was surprisingly awesome, with seasoned well tender meat. Maki rolls were good, and pleasantly portioned well. District Donut’s line stayed poppin’ while they hosted those wonderful dolce de leche bites. My personal fav, even though the item was smaller than my index finger, was Ice Cream Jubilee. Mmmm Honey Lavender and the Marionberry. Yes.
The overall experience was amazing. The Embassy was posh and modern (makes me think of a staycation very soon). The employees were accommodating and kind. I don’t think they understood the greatness that is a Unilocaler party. A concierge tried to steer Unilocalers away who arrived early. Smh (don’t you know that line was wrapped around two corners by the time I parked my car at 6:50p??!).
By the end of the event, I was hankering for a massage from Onsite. Unfortunately, Don C. and I arrived a minute too late, because we were informed that the cut off line ended with the 10 people ahead of us in the waiting area. I spotted Gretchen with needles in her arms and neck, and realized there was more than massages to go around. The whole room was dedicated to relaxation! I am proud to announce that I peer pressured «The Infamous» Don C. into acupuncture for the first time! Well, it was a first for me too… in any cause, WOW! The rep at Urban Tao Acupuncture was awesome! He made us feel completely relaxed. No pain, just good vibes.
Kimberly, you’ve out done yourself. This was an amazing event!

Unilocal (hella) awesome… A great time had by all!
If you were not there, you truly missed out on the Unilocal event of the year! In true Unilocal fashion, this event was huge, in a class by itself and a remarkable good time. It seems like the Unilocal events are getting bigger and better each year, and never disappoints. I am talking… Multiple floors of activity, events, food galore, drinks unlimited, entertainment… and a roof top party overlooking DC’s cityscape! What more to ask for?! Now, throw in a worthy cause for DC Central Kitchen (a local charity) on top of all of this… you have won me over!
It was well organized and despite the large crowd, the layout kept everyone moving. Thanks to a J-​O-​B deadline, I arrived late but still in time to make my rounds from the Adult Playground (bottom floor) to the Roof! There were lots of great vendors and libation for days… Not a thirsty moment during my entire time at the event.
HIGHLIGHTS & FAVORITES:
+ District Doughnuts — Delicious! I just wanted to dive-​in on the entire platter of glazed Doughnuts!
+ Ice Cream Jubilee — One word… BananaBourbonCaramel! One taste and I knew I was in trouble. I had to be dragged from the table! Insanely good!
+ Luke’s Lobster — Good shrimp roll bites… just wished it had a little more flavor – seasoning.
+ Capital Kombucha — The «Good Good» for your tummy! The Cherry Lime was my favorite drink! The probiotics definitely kicked in the next morning! lol
+ Deep Eddy Vodka — All I needed to see was the Vodka sign… So I immediately sampled this table as if it was a 40oz bottle of «Old E!»
BEST ALL AROUND:
The Rooftop Overlook — The best spot of the whole event. This was truly where the party was at and things stayed ‘TURNT UP’ all night. All food and drink vendors on this level were on point too! I chilled here most of the night because it was totally my kind of vibe.
HONORABLE MENTION:
«Urban Tao Acupuncture and Herbology!» This vendor blew me away. While hanging with my Unilocal buddy Adrienne M., we stumbled on this gem last minute –near the end of the event. And,…Thank God we did! It was my first time experiencing acupuncture and all I can say is NIRVANNA… or maybe I was inebriated! LOL! Either way, something was running through my veins and had me in such a higher de-​stressed state from my crazy day at work! I was sold. Even though I looked like a Porcupine while sitting there, it was so relaxing and by time I got home I slept like a baby. I already booked my next appointment!
Overall, a ‘hella’ awesome event and theme indeed! I had an amazing time with Unilocal friends both old and new. It was great to see familiar faces and connect with new Unilocalers too.
KUDOS TO CM KIMBERLY S. AND THE ENTIRE Unilocal TEAM… for putting on one of the best Unilocal events I have attended to date! Can’t wait until the next…
P. S. Sorry, no pics! My hands stayed full with food and I had so much fun, I forgot to take them. LOL

Unilocal has done it again! I arrived for the elite private viewing and liked how organized this event was from check-​in to… basically every floor! There was even an elevator designated for the event and a guy inside that helped with directions and made great small talk. Rooftop was probably my favorite because of the city view, the cool pool inflatables, and it seemed more lively than the other floors! One suggestion: if that pool was intended for the use of Unilocal guests, I hope it is mentioned in the event description so people come prepared for it!
All of the businesses running the kiosks were also very friendly and informative! I love how this event had the slow-​mo video and wacky photo booths too!
Like the last big Unilocal event, these things will always be popular so be prepared to wait in lines if you come late! Overall, great theme, set-​up, people, food, and drinks! I really am excited to hear about the next big event! :)

The festivities began with @Satetruck, Riide bikes, a luxury trailor with Airstreams by Nomad Motor Lodge. &Pizza Jeeps were stationed outside. Unilocalers added a splash of color with flowers and summer outfits.
Unilocal Elites were able the enter the bash at 7pm. Volunteers from DC Central kitchen helped greet Unilocalers. The Unilocal swag for this bash was a great set of branded earbuds.
The awesomeness continued with Tarot card readings by Elite Tarot (how appropriate) Urban stems created pretty floral arrangements and headbands. Ruth Chris had great swag, including a cow bottle opener. Cakelove shared several flavors. I enjoyed Salty Caramel. Galley had several great dishes. I loved the snap peas & noodles. Hubby loved Luke’s Lobster & Krave Jerky.
SnapFiesta had fun props for pictures. Slow Motion Photo Booth took slow motion videos. We opted to «fight», kiss & make up and throw glitter in the air. I had fun making a button with a cow on it with Cherry Blossom Creatives. The fun continued on the rooftop with music blasting through the headsets provided by Silent Disco. The DJs did a great job putting out great music. The rooftop view was awesome. Ice Cream Jubilee had amazing flavors. I liked Banada Bourbon Caramel & the Berry Flavors. Hubby liked the Thai tea ice cream. &Pizza served flavors on on the roof. Hubby also enjoyed NeatMeats
If you were thirsty, there were all sorts of beverages available. Peet’s coffee had a nice iced coffee available. Capital teas had hot and cold samples. Capital Kombucha had amazing yummy drinks. I enjoyed Cherry Blossom, Coconut and Ginger. Port City Brewing had nice beers and a fun beach theme. Deep Eddy Vodka had yummy samples. Early Mountain Vineyards had some great wines.
There were massages (OnSite Massage) & acupuncture (Urban Tao Acupuncture & Herbology) available. Aveda Lifestyle salon was helping Unilocalers primp. The evening was a blast. The Unilocal staff did a great job planning the event. The Embassy Row hotel was a great host.
My inner flowerchild had a blast!
Thanks Unilocal

I always had a feeling that I might leave DC, but yesterday I officially found out that I am moving out of DC next week for «only a couple of months» (I hope) to follow my dreams and this seriously was the best way to end my time in DC for now. Eating delicious bites from many places I love and/​or wanted to try, drinking perfect summer drinks especially from the station, and just enjoying some quality time with my fellow Unilocalers, this was the perfect Unilocal event to end the summer and my time in DC…
Seriously cried thinking about leaving this city, but what I am most sad about is leaving such an amazing Unilocal community! Thank you Kimberly and my fellow Unilocalers making my time in Unilocal and DC unforgettable!!! Kimberly, this was a night to remember for not only myself but so many people. Don’t know who else could throw such an amazing soirée for 1200 people and look as great with your flower crown, but you, thanks again to you and the Unilocal team for everything and much more!
