I attended Dan Navarro's "Songwriting and the Creative Muse" songwriting workshop, and it was amazing. Dan was kind and welcoming while providing meaningful feedback, and I learned so much. The hybrid Zoom and in-person format worked great (I attended via Zoom). Any time you have Dan back for this workshop, either in person or virtually, I want to sign up! :) Thank you so much!

This was such a fun experience! Would definitely do again!

If you're in the area this is a must see!! We had so SO much fun doing the rock and roll scavenger hunt and looking for the hidden doors! We definitely want to come back. You could go many times and still see something different for sure. Also it is a hotel so you can stay there. A very unique one at that. How fun would it be to stay overnight there!? Although I can't imagine staying more than one night, as it would be too overwhelming for me with the amount of nostalgia each room holds! It's wonderful the collection of items this place holds! From the lobby, bar area, function room to all the guest rooms, every inch of this place is filled with memorabilia - And you can purchase just about everything in the hotel. Great date night idea for all ages! This was a surprise gift experience for my husbands 61st birthday and he wasn't sure what to expect when we first arrived. Then our experience began and we spent an entire afternoon looking for the items on our list and all the doors we could find. We did pretty well - even found the very hidden beautiful wine cellar!! But we did spend 4 hours! Depending on your child: Children may get overwhelmed or not find it interesting as it may feel like going through an antique or consignment store to them - although with that being said searching for the hidden doors which are not easy to always find may keep their interest and find the whole experience FuN for them - I'm sure of that much! We also met the owner's husband who was so kind and had a few stories to tell us. He assured us as well as other staff that if you really needed a hint they would be sure to help you out - but what fun would that be!? Just enjoy the experience!

My staff and I recently went to The Mansion on O Street to celebrate the holidays. I have hosted Christmas dinners for my staff for over 30 years; in that time we have been to many of the best restaurants in Washington, but of all of these, O Street ranks at the top. We loved it. For the better part of an hour we were invited to explore the mansion/museum and see how many of the 80+ secret doors we could find (I found four). We wandered through the three floors in total awe. Everywhere we looked were amazing displays. We spotted the black and white dress (the actual one!) that Audrey Hepburn wore in "My Fair Lady." There were guitars signed by the Rolling Stones, there was a note from John Lennon, and on and on. We were met by several servers carrying appetizer trays who pointed us in various directions. And this was all before dinner! Our table was set in a long private room with beautiful chandeliers. Our food came promptly and was lovely. The chef accommodated all of our requests -- vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, anchovy-averse, et cetera -- and it was very impressive, delicious, and plentiful. The only problem was that our room looked out on the dessert buffet -- with a chocolate fountain. We loved our dinner but we needed to assess the dessert table and give it proper attention. And we did.I do not remember a meal more filled with laughter and all-out happiness. To rate this venue, I would give the meal and the menu five stars but for the owners I would give many more stars. H and Ted were the most gracious hosts and I need to explain what they did that went above and beyond. On a rainy night I arrived with my car loaded with gifts for the staff and didn't think to mention ahead of time that I would need a valet. I handed my key to H and learned when I left that evening that she had taken it upon herself to park my car for me. Not only this but when we were packing the car to leave my battery died. Ted came out (after a long day working and a long night and day ahead of him) and jump-started my car. He could not have been more gracious. He was just wonderful.Perhaps I should have been more brief, but the O Street Mansion is one of a kind and the owners are a rare breed. Just when you think civility is dead -- you need to meet H and Ted.
