D•E•W DC Like a Local! My name is Tim, and I’ve traveled, a lot, and mostly done it independently, just me & my backpack. Hmmm. Stay tuned!

Drink•Eat•Walk DC’s small group food & drink neighborhood walking tours explore beyond tourist Washington and into the streets & places we locals spend our evenings hanging out in, so you can experience the true flavor of DC. 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 have always been the best part of every journey I’ve been on, and every country I’ve been to. In my recent travels, this has meant lots of food & drink walking tours, and I especially appreciated them when I was traveling in Japan. The country had just opened up after COVID, and there weren’t yet many solo travelers like me there — it was mostly large tour groups, couples, and packs of young, mustachioed, mulleted Aussie blokes. So the food & drink tours I went on were great because I got to eat & drink well and learn about lots of different Japanese cuisine, but also got to meet & hang with other traveling folk, and great local guides. So it was to my surprise when I got back to DC and found that there really wasn’t much like that here. Sure, there’s tons of history walking tours here, and some food tasting tours, and an occasional bar tour, but nothing that combined all of them like I loved in Japan. Another thing that got me thinking: Most travelers I’ve met overseas are surprised that I love living in DC. They’ve all heard of it, of course, but just think of it as a place for museums, monuments, and politics, and not a place where real people love living, building happy lives & communities. I mean, I did begin my attempt to leave the corporate life in 2023 and take a shot at making a living independently by building tiny businesses. So…

(AI created this logo & it’s not a bad first take, but I’ll be re-creating it to make it more better)
Drink-Eat-Walk is being born as a way for me to create an amazing experience for travelers visiting DC, showcasing the food, drink, neighborhoods, histories, communities, people & places that we locals all love so much. And guiding is the natural next step in my travel journey, showing & helping others find the thrill that rocked & re-framed my world when I first started really traveling back in 2000.

Online public reviews are everything for a tiny little biz like mine, but have to admit that kind guest texts to me sometimes hit harder 🙏

A cool, different view of than my Drink•Eat•Walk DC food tour guest normally get when we eat delicious pupusas & then walk through the amazing alley outside of it

I just posted the third article in my “What Is a Food Tour? A Guide to Food Tours in Washington DC & Beyond” series on the Drink•Eat•Walk blog. This one is titled “Why Washington DC is a Surprisingly Good Food City”. Link in comments or just go to the site and tap Blog in the top right

Look, there’s nothing better than a long, detailed, gushing review. But sometimes a couple of simple, direct sentences are exactly what you need to boost your confidence.

The sprouting trees are even better as a backdrop for awesome Drink•Eat•Walk DC food tour guests

Love seeing the daily changes in the sprouting trees at my tour meetup spot

All my tours visit in Dupont Circle for some delicious (historical!) fried oyster sliders. Some tour guests from last week liked them so much, they got them again this week, this time at the beautiful branch at the Wharf. Looking good SW DC!

I had a great week of Drink•Eat•Walk DC food tours last week and can now confirm that the cherry blossoms do indeed bring visitors into the city. So, it makes sense for the Metro to wrap their trains, and for me to make sure I hype 🌸 more in my “marketing” next year.

Happy Birthday to the King of DC soul food, who started The sweet potato pie from there is so delicious, I have a hard time getting my Drink•Eat•Walk DC food tour guest to listen to me while they’re eating it.

They say today is peak cherry blossom 🌸 day here in DC, but I say it’s peak day for me because of this text I received from a guest who took a Drink•Eat•Walk DC food tour earlier this week 🥹

The Tidal Basin ones get all the adolation (and crowds), but DC locals know that there are cherry blossom trees embedded throughout the whole city. My favorites are the one-offs like this one on U St. NW, and that my Drink•Eat•Walk DC food tour guests this week will get to see.

Spring is starting to hit in DC’s Rock Creek Park, meaning we’re getting closer to the launch of the Drink•Eat•Walk hiking tour through it…
