Drink•Eat•Walk DC Food Tour Business Quarterly Review — 2025 Q3
It’s been three months since my first tour, so it’s time for a self-assessment: 👍 👎 I’m in the star-rating biz, though, so I guess I have to review myself through that lens: Overall rating = ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☆ Despite the negativity, I’m pretty happy with how things are going. All I really care about in this…

DC Food Tour Learnings — TTFD
A continuation of this series On my first couple of DC food tours I had guests meet me at the fountain in the center of Dupont Circle. It’s the perfect local DC neighborhood meetup spot, with lots of benches & seats, and it’s alive with people & activity, especially at the 5pm meetup time. After…

DC Food Tour Learnings — Golden Feedback
All guests on my first two tours have been friends. I mean, they’ve booked & paid like standard customers, but I’ve knew all of them before they did. That’s partially because: without a brand; reputation; reviews; word-of-mouth and begging are the only way to get bookings in your first season in the tourism world. However,…

Chasing History
I took some more local DC walking tours this weekend, these ones focused on history & architecture. They were great, and the guides were super knowledgeable. Once again, though, they weren’t full of much joy, nor was there much interaction amongst the group (I think those two things are related). The only pic I took…

DC Food Tour Learnings → Part 2
I took a food tour here in DC a few weeks back, and wrote up the first part of my learnings, focused on the business side, in this post. Now it’s time for my review of it from the customer side (though still through my business-building 👀). And my customer review is that the tour…

Drink-Eat-Walk: Origins
I’ve traveled, a lot, and mostly done it independently, just me & my backpack. But to travel alone is to only be alone when you want to — you’re always around similar-minded travelers, whether it’s in the hostels, the pubs, or on small group tours. If I’m being honest, it’s those small group tours that…

Back to Work
The daily posting I committed to at the start of the year has really become…not daily. It was a lot of effort to travel like I just did on my bus journey, and pumping out a post each day also took lots of time & work. The thing is, I really enjoyed the daily writing…

Tall Building Rules
One of the things I’m most excited to talk about when I get Drink-Eat-Walk going is this building, the reason DC has such severe building height restrictions.
