Washington, D.C. is a city fueled by non-stop newsmakers, so we give this see-and-be-seen a nod for creating such a stir upon its opening in the
Mandarin Oriental hotel. Eric Ziebold, ex of Spago and The French Laundry, immediately justified the buzz with his inventive seasonal cooking, enhanced by the finely-tuned, spot-on service.
