Last night, I was fortunate to be a guest at DC Magazine’s launch party for their May/June travel issue, held at the much-buzzed-about new Buddha Bar.

There was a rather long line—and a very strict entrance policy—so I was thrilled to get in. The crowd was swanky—and, most importantly, surprisingly well-dressed for Washington. (This may be due to the presence of the Saks Fifth Avenue fashion team in attendance).
The Buddha Bar was larger than I expected—and very chic. From the enormous Buddha in the center of the room to the servers in Kimono-esque attire, they really take the Asian theme to the highest level. The sushi was delicious—and so were the cosmopolitans. The music was sexy; the lighting was sultry. I can definitely see why Buddha Bar is immensely popular at its other cosmopolitan locations, which include London, Dubai, Sao Paolo, Monte Carlo, and more.
