Local Influencers – Washington DC metro area

Jessica Knows best :). She is compiling a directory on her blog of local influencers and this post is my entry.

Washington DC / Maryland/Virginia  Rockville /Baltimore /Farifax /Reston /Herndon

Favorite restaurants, attractions, and little known activities.

Best place to park in DC over the weekend visiting museums is the Ronald Regal building which is very close to the National Mall.

Indique Heights ( Chevy Chase), Chao Phra Ya ( Thai Herndon), Tara Thai ( Gaithersburg) ZIki ( Gaithersburg)

My Ten favorite places to network in the DC area.

A little about me:
I love people and connecting other folks to earn karma points. Love organizing grass roots events. Day job is Social Media Swami ( Director – Social Media) for Network Solutions. Love networking for breakfast, lunch.

    Deadline January 31st: Women Entrepreneurs with a great story

    Professor Kathy Korman Frey at the George Washington University School of Business has kicked off the 2009-2010 HotMommas Case Study Competition.

    It’s a unique project that takes the stories of the women and makes them teachable in a “case study” format, thus providing scalable, global access to role models and virtual mentors.

    Tripadvisor Traveler’s Choice 2010 awards

    image

    I love tripadvisor.com and have used it extensively for trips and holidays. TripAdvisor has announced the Travelers Choice 2010 awards and it is an interesting list.

    My Twitter follower and one of DC’s best hotels @sofiteldc is on the list for hotels in the USA. I travel a lot and yet I have not stayed at any of these good hotels. I was also bummed that I had not stayed at any hotel in the list for India. Now I have so much family in India that I would never have to stay in any hotel :)

    This is a good read and its entirely crowdsourced.
