Prosecco flowed at Dupont Circle’s chic and eco-conscious Hudson’s Restaurant and Lounge on M Street when 50 of DC’s hippest helped Pamela Sorensen celebrate the third anniversary of Pamela's Punch.
Her social networking blog chronicles local events and markets, signaling what to follow, wear, eat and where to do it. Pamelaspunch.com “satisfies your thirst for the latest juice on the coolest places,” says Pamela.
Guests included a cross section of well-wishers from the media, social and financial worlds, including
WJLA’s
Rebecca Cooper, PR hotshot
Victoria Michael, publisher
John Arundel,
The Hill's
Christina Wilkie, AOL co-founder
Jim Kimsey, Sofitel’s
Pierre-Louis Renou and his wife
Stephanie and
The Washington Times'
Stephanie Green of
Green & Glover Undercover column.
Hudson’s managing partner,
Alan Popovsky , orchestrated the seated dinner, which saw executive chef
Ryan Arnold sending out truffled endive salad, Natural Angus New York strip steak and Arnold’s version of a fluffy cod brandade, which he Americanized by butter-browning into Gallic-accented,
crisp New England codfish balls.
The wines paired for each course included a flowery Alma Rosa Chardonnay, and a mellow, California-styled and intriguingly titled Menage a Trois, Folie a Deux Napa Cabernet.
