Why rain or shine, Taste of Bethesda is the best.
Saturday, I headed to Taste of Bethesda in my rain slicker and warm sweater. This rainy, cold, windy day is unusual weather for early October in the DC area; the temperature was in the 50s—about 20 degrees lower than normal. But despite the showers, Taste of Bethesda vendors were out in full force. There were close to 60 restaurants represented, and non-stop musical performances. You could see people swaying in their rain coats and umbrellas. Others were huddled under awnings, eating out of paper bowls and plates filled with foods from around the world. Taste of Bethesda is the perfect opportunity to learn about the restaurants in the area, some you may never have seen otherwise. Like Saveur India, an Indian restaurant near Trader Joes on …

Maybe Wheaton can inquire what Bethesda did to get 55 restaurants to their Taste? Wheaton does not need to be Betehsda, but our Taste has decreased in size greatly over the years and I'd hate to see it go altogether. I appreciate the restaurants that serve at the Tate of Wheaton, but I'm not sure if we had even 1 new restaurant this year. We certainly haven't had 5 new participating restaurants … more ›
