“Festa di San Lorenzo – Sun Aug 12th – 1st Annual Event at Shaw’s San Lorenzo Ristorante + Bar.”


1316 9th Street, NW (formerly Thally)

From a press release:

“The Feast day of San Lorenzo – typically celebrated on August 10 – is a grand celebration of food and wine in Florence, Italy, and quite frankly… a great reason for all of Italy to throw a party!

As we stated upon opening, San Lorenzo Ristorante + Bar is named after Chef Massimo Fabbri’s favorite neighborhood in Florence – Borgo San Lorenzo, as well as his 4 year old son, who in turn is named for San (or Saint) Lorenzo, the patron saint of chefs. The martyr took on this mantle when, as he was burning to death on a grill as punishment for disobeying orders and giving away the treasures of the church to the poor, he joked, “Turn me over, I’m done on this side!”

So… Massimo has decided to continue the tradition and will throw his First Annual FESTA DI SAN LORENZO on Sunday, August 12th with a special Celebratory Three Course $55 Prix-Fixe Menu.

Reservations can be made here.

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!

The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!

What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
