I’ll be speaking at the 2023 DC Travel & Adventure Show

Posted by Brian Cicioni | Jan 15, 2023 | D.C. , Event Reviews | 27 |

The 2023 DC Travel & Adventure Show

I’m pleased to announce that on February 4, I’ll be speaking at the DC Travel & Adventure Show. The annual travel show will take place February 4-5 in Hall D at the Washington Convention Center. The venue has its own stop along the DC Metro Green and Yellow lines.

What’s New and Exciting with Baltimore’s Food Scene with Brian Cicioni and Jasmine Norton

At 1 PM on Saturday, February 4, you can join me in the Savvy Traveler Theater . I’ll be sharing the stage with Jasmine Norton, who owns and operates The Urban Oyster in her native Baltimore. We’ll be discussing our love for Baltimore, but with a twist. Jasmine will share what she loves about her hometown, while I’ll be focusing on how I first experienced Baltimore as a tourist from Pennsylvania and later as an NYC-based food and travel writer.

For a sneak preview of what we’ll be discussing, check out Jasmine’s Baltimore food guide , which I wrote in 2021.

Other speakers and seminars at the 2023 DC Travel & Adventure Show

The 2023 DC Travel & Adventure Show will follow the same format as those around the country. I’ve been attending the show in DC since as early as 2016. Other New York-based travel writers and TV hosts will include Peter Greenberg, Patricia Schultz, Andrew McCarthy, and Samantha Brown.

Get $6 off admission to the 2023 DC Travel & Adventure Show via Eventbrite

You can register for the 2023 DC Travel & Adventure Show via Eventbrite . Be sure to use the code IMAYROAM23 for $6 off. And if there’s anything in particular about Baltimore’s food scene that you’d like to learn more about, feel free to leave a comment at the very bottom of this post. There will be time for a short Q & A at the end of our presentation in the Savvy Traveler Theater. Hope to see you there!

Accommodation options near the Washington Convention Center

There are several hotels located within two blocks of the convention center. Just look between 9th and 11th and I and K Streets. I’ll be staying at the Embassy Suites by Hilton Washington DC Convention Center. From the hotel, there are more than a dozen different dining options regardless of which way you turn. Dolcezza is one of my favorite ice cream spots in the city. And Chinatown starts one block east. Brickstones Kitchen & Bar is the hotel restaurant.

You can earn up to 80,000 Hilton Honors Bonus Points by signing up for their no annual fee co-branded American Express Card .

This looks like it’ll be fun! I always wanted to see our nations capital and your posts just makes me want to visit more! Thank you so much for sharing!

You’re welcome, Whitney. This trip is long overdue!

Best of luck presenting at the 2023 DC Travel & Adventure Show. This really looks like a great event with lots of interesting info. Thanks for sharing about the event.

Hi Debbie. You are welcome. I miss DC!

I haven’t been to Washington DC in a long time! I like attending events like this and getting to know the area. Good luck on your speaking engagement here!

Thanks Bryan. It’s been more than 3 years for me.

Lexington Market looks like such a bustling place, but so is DC in general. Good luck presenting at the 2023 DC Travel & Adventure Show.

Thanks and I can’t wait until the Lexington Market is up and running at full capacity.

Sounds like Lexington Market is full of hustle and bustle. Good luck presenting at the 2023 DC Travel & Adventure Show

Thanks. Baltimore has more markets than most from outside the area realize.

this is so exciting! good luck, wish i could visit 🙂

Hope you get to visit one day. DC is in my top four favorite cities.

I agree it seems like a cool event. I would love to see the food scene and find something interesting. Unfortunately, we are far away from Washington DC. Good luck with your presentation.

Thanks. One of the many things I love about DC is that the suburbs can be as exciting as the city itself. It’s not like that in New York.

I agree it looks like a cool event, but unfortunately, we are far away from Washington DC. Good luck with your presentation.

Hi Olga. Thank you very much!

Nnniiicccceeeeee….those 80,000 bonus points sounds like a great plan, to kickstart my year! Thanks for sharing about them.

You’re welcome. I can share some other offers if you are interested.

thanks for sharing your next speaking engagement! So exciting! I will definitely try to tell our team so we can attend!

Thanks for helping spread the word. Heading up to Boston for the show this weekend.

This looks like a really awesome event! I have a few friends who will be really interested and try to attend. Best of luck on your presentation at the 2023 DC Travel & Adventure Show.

This looks like a really awesome event that you will be speaking at! I know a few friends who would love to attend and hear your presentation at the 2023 DC Travel & Adventure Show.

wow, that would be fun, and love the twist in this. Seem it will be good to share information with the audience in that way.

Sounds like an amazing event! I hope you had a great experience and enjoyed your presentation!

An article about your Goodfellas tour brought me here. Hailing from Baltimore, I just missed your visit to Lexington Market (obvious the new complex) during your visit. I’m very interested in the NYC/Goodfellas tour for this spring/summer.

This is great! Congratulations. Wish I could visit too.

Thanks Shreya. Well, there are plenty of planes and trains heading there.

The 31 best things to do in D.C. this weekend and next week

Ever wish you could be in two (or four) places at once? The next few weeks are full of FOMO, the fear of missing out. On Saturday alone, you’ve got hundreds of bands playing outdoors at Petworth PorchFest, seven D.C. museums offering special activities during Do the Loop day, DJs spinning dance music during Project Glow, the D.C. Cocktail Festival, a screening of “The Lord of the Rings” inside the National Building Museum, and cultural festivals from Purcellville to Suitland. On the same day, families can celebrate the reopening of the Glen Echo carousel with an afternoon of activities, or visit the D.C. Public Library’s book festival for young readers. Speaking of books, it’s also Independent Bookstore Day. Tough choices will have to be made, but at least you know some of your options.

Thursday, April 25

It’s Your Mug 30th Anniversary at the Kennedy Center

In the mid-1990s, a Georgetown coffeehouse called It’s Your Mug was the epicenter of Washington’s poetry scene: It was, according to a 1997 Washington Post story , “the hallmark for New Age Black poetry in Washington and the place where [poet and host Toni Asante] Lightfoot single-handedly popularized the open mic.” Diverse groups of writers read everything from works in progress to erotica. When the two-level coffee shop closed, Lightfoot and poets dispersed back to bars and cafes on U Street, such as Mango’s, but It’s Your Mug’s influence hasn’t diminished. To mark its 30th anniversary, Lightfoot and a number of the open mic’s regulars are gathering at the Kennedy Center’s Millennium Stage, including performance artist Holly Bass, rapper and educator Toni Blackman, and Words Beats and Life’s Director of Poetry Patrick Washington, for an evening of lyricism accompanied by live jazz. 6 p.m. Free .

Spirit Week at Other Half

Dressing up in themed outfits, chalking up sidewalks, decorating hallways: Spirit week is a staple of high school life — and now a brewery in Ivy City. Other Half is hosting Spirit Week at all seven of its locations, including D.C., with new beers and different discounts for participating each day. Start Thursday with Decade Day, which offers 10 percent off for those dressed in outfits from a different decade. Friday’s Twin Day means buy one, get one free pints for two people in matching outfits. Throw on an old Other Half T-shirt for $4 off flights on Saturday’s OHB Spirit Day, and get a $5 pint of hazy Varsity Greens IPA for wearing any sports jersey on Sunday. Through Sunday. Free admission .

Taylor Swift Trivia at Honor Brewing

Honor’s Sterling taproom and production facility hosts a monthly themed trivia night, and this month is all about Taylor Swift. Prizes are awarded for the top three teams. Arrive early for happy hour, which includes $10 flights, $5 wines and $1 off pints. 7 p.m. Free .

Friday, April 26

Georgetown French Market

If a trip to Paris isn’t in the cards this spring, the Georgetown French Market should be on any Francophile’s calendar. This annual sidewalk sale happens on Wisconsin Avenue NW between O Street and Reservoir Road, and up and down the surrounding streets, with more than 40 local businesses participating in the fun. Browse pop-up outdoor book sales, take 10 percent off French wine at Bacchus Wine Cellar, get a grilled merguez sausage from Patisserie Poupon, and listen to live music or watch street performers, including a mime and a unicyclist. Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Sunday from noon to 5 p.m. Free .

Spring Open Doors at Spanish Cultural Center

Explore the latest indoor and outdoor art installations at the Beaux-Arts mansion that used to house the Spanish ambassadors. Inside, you’ll find “SPAINfographics,” which details the relationship between Spain and the United States through the work of infographic artists, and “Not Your Regular Wall,” an returning exhibit that, in this edition, is inspired by Spanish scientist Santiago Ramón y Cajal. Outside, one exhibit re-creates iconic photos of male leaders with images of women, and another explores the idea of “returning to the outside world.” Note that a reservation does not guarantee admission. Friday from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m., Saturday and Sunday from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Free.

Saturday, April 27

Petworth PorchFest

All the neighborhood is a stage in Petworth this weekend. More than 100 hosts open their porches, stoops and front lawns to almost 300 musical acts between 2 and 6 p.m. Some you might have heard of, such as the jazz-punk fusion of the Messthetics, the lush pop of Ari Voxx or the groovy synth-pop of Wrizzards. Many of them you have not. But that’s missing the point of this massive festival, which stretches almost two miles from north to south but still feels like a block party. The main stage, which hosts music from 5 to 8 p.m. at the Petworth Recreation Center, is a handy starting point, but the best part is meeting up with friends and following your ears through the streets, where you’ll hear jazz, hip-hop duos, bluegrass pickers, mariachis, DJs spinning house and dad bands knocking out classic rock covers. If one address is too crowded or you lose interest, there’s another show around the corner (or sometimes just a few houses away). Bring a hat, because you’ll spend a lot of time standing on the sidewalk, and pack food and drinks. 2 to 8 p.m. Free .

Do the Loop

When most folks talk about museum hopping in D.C., they’re referring to visiting multiple Smithsonians on the Mall, or maybe browsing the galleries and historic houses near Dupont Circle. There’s a much more ambitious schedule at the second Do the Loop day, which brings together seven institutions west of Rock Creek, including the Kreeger Museum in Foxhall, American University Museum at the Katzen Arts Center in Tenleytown and Dumbarton Oaks in Georgetown. (The Jackson Art Center, Addison/Ripley Fine Art, Georgetown University Art Galleries and Klagsbrun Studios, which are also participating, are clustered near one another in Georgetown.) Each location offers something different: tours of Dumbarton’s gardens and museum; sculpture garden tours and food trucks at the Kreeger; guided gallery tours with journalist and artist Bob Schieffer at Katzen. Scavenger hunts and hands-on activities for children are offered throughout the day. 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., though individual location hours vary. Free .

Carousel Day at Glen Echo Park

Saturday is an exciting day for children of all ages: Glen Echo Park’s 103-year-old Dentzel Carousel opens for yet another season. Riders can claim their favorite animal — a galloping ostrich, bounding hare, majestic lion — while the gorgeously restored carousel spins to the waltzing tunes of a 1926 Wurlitzer band organ. Each trip is $2, making a $5 unlimited day pass a great deal. But there’s more to do than go up and down, around and around: The day’s activities include free music and dance performances, hands-on crafts, dance classes, and open art studios. (Some events in the park that day, such as performances of “Alice in Wonderland” at the Puppet Co., charge a fee.) 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Free admission; carousel rides $2 each or $5 for an all-day pass.

Project Glow at the RFK Festival Grounds

The third annual Project Glow turns the grounds around the abandoned RFK Stadium into an EDM wonderland. Performances from Chicago house legend Derrick Carter, dance-pop hitmaker Zedd, and creative back-to-back pairings like upstart Acraze and genre-hopper Wax Motif should keep the rave going, as will sets by DMV favorites including Baronhawk Poitier, Mathias, Thablackgod and others. Let’s hope the weather prevents DJs from shaking the windows of residents miles away. Saturday and Sunday from 1 to 11 p.m. $109-$279 .

Independent Bookstore Day

The American Booksellers Association is celebrating its 11th Independent Bookstore Day, which means discounts, parties and more for D.C.-area book fans. Kramers in Dupont Circle has two promotions: Find a golden ticket hidden in the store for a 20 percent discount, or get a free “blind date with a book” for every $75 spent ( 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Free ). East City Bookshop on Capitol Hill (which is also celebrating its eighth anniversary) is offering 10, 20 and 30 percent discounts at random throughout the day, plus chances to win a curated tote of advanced reader copies or a year of free audiobooks ( 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Free ). If choosing only one store to spend your Independent Bookstore Day perusing is just too much pressure, consider joining the D.C. Bookstore Crawl , where hitting five out of 19 locations will get you a prize — or hit all 19 to enter a raffle for a grand prize. Stops include Big Planet Comics, Lost City Books, Politics and Prose, and the Potter’s House ( 10 a.m. Saturday to 8 p.m. Sunday. Free ).

D.C. Cocktail Festival at Union Market

Bartenders from popular D.C. bars and restaurants like Compass Rose, Bar Chinois, the Doyle and the Wells come together to pour drinks at the D.C. Cocktail Festival, held at Union Market’s event space Dock 5. Tickets offer the chance to taste samples of all 15 cocktails, so pace yourself accordingly. This day-drinking event is divided into two sessions: The first begins at noon for VIP ticket holders and 1 p.m. for general admission, with the party ending at 3 p.m. The second session begins at 3:30 p.m. for VIP and 4 p.m. for general admission, and ends at 6:30. Noon to 6:30 p.m. $39-$59 .

Plant sale at the National Arboretum

Find the perfect perennial or just pick up pots and planters at the annual plant sale hosted by the Friends of the National Arboretum. Because this is the National Arboretum, the selection can be more impressive than at other garden events around town. ( Check out the website for the exact list of flowers, shrubs, succulents, conifers and other plants available for purchase.) But there’s more to do than stock up your yard: Take a class on the role of raised beds in urban gardens; visit the ARTboretum for family activities, such as face painting and games; and browse the vendor village tables, full of garden supplies, fine art, clothing and jewelry from local makers. Food trucks and local companies are on hand with refreshments. The plant sale tent is members-only until 11 a.m., but other activities are open to the public during that time. 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Free; pay-what-you-can for the gardening class .

Maryland Day at the University of Maryland

Throughout the Free State, March 25 is celebrated as Maryland Day, which commemorates the arrival of English colonists in 1634. But in College Park, Maryland Day is something else: a celebration of the state’s flagship university, when the campus opens its doors to the surrounding community, alumni or not. There are more than 400 activities taking place, from the football team’s spring game to an insect petting zoo. (“Imagine tarantulas, exotic insects, scorpions, bees and millipedes longer than your hand for you to look at and touch.”) Try making 3D art, conduct surgery with robots, listen to musical performances, explore rare books or sample ice cream from the Maryland Dairy. 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Free .

Reopening of the Metropolitan Beer Trail

The ever-popular bar-and-brewery crawl along the Metropolitan Branch Trail officially reopens for business this weekend. Visit 11 stops, including breweries Lost Generation, Red Bear and Right Proper, or beer gardens, such as Metrobar and Wunder Garten, to earn points that can be redeemed for T-shirts, baseball caps and other prizes. (The person who checks in the most times by the end of December wins a $25 gift card for each of the participating businesses.) The trail is just over two miles long, but you don’t have to complete it in one day. Through Dec. 31. Hours vary. Free to participate .

‘The Lord of the Rings’ at the National Building Museum

The National Building Museum’s “Great Movies in the Great Hall” is like bringing your favorite summer movie series indoors. Bring a blanket or lawn chairs, complete with a picnic, to spread out on the carpet in one of the city’s most impressive indoor spaces, among the soaring Corinthian columns. Before “The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring” screens, J.R.R. Tolkien researcher Joey Wilson-Brooke presents a virtual program about the role of architecture and design in the books and on-screen. Costumes are encouraged. Popcorn and beverages are available for purchase. (No outside alcohol is allowed.) Doors at 6:30 p.m. $5-$15; free for children younger than 12 .

STAR Fest at Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library

The STAR Fest — that stands for “ Sing, Talk and Read ” — is an in-person offshoot of D.C.’s Books From Birth program. Bring little ones for a day of story times, soft play activities, musical performances by children’s entertainers and an area that lets children imagine their own stories.

Broadway Rave at 9:30 Club

Move over, Taylor Swift-themed dance nights, because there’s a new and very niche singalong party in town. Broadway Rave advertises itself as a “traveling dance party for adult theater kids,” with musical standards on the playlist and surprise guest appearances from the stars of Broadway shows. The D.C. edition is landing at 9:30 Club, and you’re encouraged to show up dressed as your favorite Broadway character. We’re guessing the costumes will be truly extra. 10 p.m. $20 .

D.C. Chocolate Festival at the French Embassy

Returning for a seventh year, this festival is a celebration of all things chocolate — education, confection and, of course, sampling. Taste and shop in the main exhibit or check out classes and workshops throughout the day on topics like chocolate and beverage pairings and the chocolate economy. There are also non-chocolate foods and beverages in case your sweet tooth falls out. 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. or 2 to 5:30 p.m. $25; free for children under 12.

‘Glacier: A Climate Change Ballet’ at the National Portrait Gallery

Listen to tribute sets from D.C.’s Human Country Jukebox while snacking on tacos and sipping margaritas and $5 Shiner Bocks.

Jacob Collier at the Anthem

At his live shows, Collier creates his own orchestra of audience members. (His mother, Suzie Collier, is a violinist, conductor and professor at the Royal Academy of Music.) He conducts thousands of fans as a giant instrument, siphoning different melodies from each corner of the venue like a massive human organ. The audience choir became the centerpiece of “Djesse Vol. 4,” released in February, as the last in a quartet of albums that explore diverse soundscapes. Grand, sprawling and entirely genre-less, it’s heralded by an even more diverse list of credits, including Paul Simon, John Mayer, Lizzy McAlpine, Shawn Mendes, Lawrence and Brandi Carlile. Between Morse code, ambient animal sounds and dozens of languages, it also features the 100,000 voices of audience choirs Collier has conducted on his tours. 7:15 p.m. $50-$70.

NMWA Nights tickets on sale

The monthly after-hours parties at the National Museum of Women in the Arts tend to sell out so quickly that we don’t get to write about them. So here’s your reminder to plan ahead: If you want to attend the May 15 event, celebrating the exhibition “New Worlds: Women to Watch 2024” with DJs, a performance by Pretty Boi Drag, a costume contest and art-making activities, tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Wednesday. Prices include two cocktails or mocktails. 5:30 p.m. $22-$25 .
