Where to Dine Like a Celebrity in D.C.

"Downtown’s “glam Italian” restaurant, a known date night favorite for the Obamas, welcomed actor Bryan Cranston in July 2023. In support of his Dos Hombres mezcal brand, the Breaking Bad alum played bartender for an evening and served free cocktails to hundreds of fans. His mezcal tour through D.C. also included stops at Service Bar and the St. Regis." - Vinciane Ngomsi, Tierney Plumb
