Dupont’s Subterranean Club Heist Returns With a Luxe New Look - Eater DC
"An Old Town Alexandria hotel just reopened its craft cocktail lounge, this time with live piano music and a menu that builds upon Mesoamerican culinary traditions. The Study sits inside Morrison House, an Autograph Collection by Marriott hotel, on King Street. Lead bartender Emmanuel Pressley is whipping up drinks like “Beautiful Little Fool” a twist on on a New York Sour with a Malbec Float, or the “Giving Tree,” which spikes an Indian Lassi drink with basil-infused Citadelle gin and green chartreuse. Executive chef Tomas Chavarria turned to his heritage for The Study’s menu, using Mesoamerican techniques like smoking and curing meats over open fire, showcasing ingredients from Mid-Atlantic farms. Musicians from Bialek’s Music will play the piano in The Study’s bar area every Thursday through Saturday from 5 to 9 p.m." - Tierney Plumb
