Welcome
City Vibes D.C. is a food-drink-event-travel blog created for the solo purpose of bringing together a community who share the love for food, booze and culture.
City Vibes highlights D.C. restaurants, bars, street fashion, events, and basically all cool things going on in our nation’s Capital. Created by a savvy New Yorker, August, who wanted to share her love for all things inside-the-beltway. City Vibes D.C. started as a local blog, a passion project really – but has transformed into a go-to guide for the most unique, trendy and fun places all around the D.M.V! Not to mention travel tips, fashion highlights and DIY inspiration.
From an upper college student, young professional to a vibrantly mature adult, City Vibes has a little bit of something for everyone! There are so many things this area has to offer and uncover, why don’t you join the ride?
We welcome any and all questions, comments, tips, partnership and review opportunities by email.

Hi and welcome to my blog, City Vibes. To keep it short and sweet here are 5 things you should know about me:
- Background: I was born and raised in Queens, New York. Moved to the Washington D.C. area back in 2014 for a government 9-5.
- Personality: Extroverted introvert (yes, it’s real), humorous and silly, passionate and ambitious, Capricorn, Haitian-American (being Caribbean does affect your personality!)
- Passions: God, international affairs, politics, food/booze (obviously), my family, community service and traveling.
- Biggest Pet Peeve/Dislikes: Judgmental people, slow and distracted drivers, the cold!
- Fun Fact: *subject to change* I use to model when I was in college and was even featured in Essence Magazine – October 2012!
