Welcome to episode numero dos of Mary’s Center’s #TasteofAdMo miniseries. Today, we have a roundtable conversation with two participating Taste of AdMo restaurants creating super groovy spaces, cookin’ up some bomb cuisine, and collaborating with the local community to build a more welcoming, accessible AdMo familia. Here with me is Alisa Dan, Brand Manager from Pitango Gelato, a father-daughter operated gelato and Italian eatery that prides itself on providing simple, natural flavors And Dave Delaplaine, General Manager at Roofers Union, a champion for local beer offering classic American fare.

Ask anyone about Adams Morgan. We guarantee that 50% of the time you’ll get responses about the nightlife. The music, raunchiness, and drunken charades of power-hour enthused twenty something year olds. When asked about the food scene – newcomers and college students alike will rave about the grease-streaked slices of jumbo slice. But, Adams Morgan is more. It’s vibrant, dynamic, and ever-changing. It’s a cocktail rich in neighborly love. Representing DC’s past, present, and future, while reflecting the exploding diversity across the region. How did we get here? Well, we’ll find out through this exclusive #TasteofAdMo miniseries. I will say though, within these handful of blocks there are eclectic individuals, beloved community institutions, and incredible restaurants with dishes that shattered DC’s segregated restaurant scene and defied the notion that Washington was ever a “culinary backwater.” On today’s episode, we’ll learn about one restaurant at the forefront of DC’s pupusa fever. A representation of the city’s Latino diaspora, El Tamarindo has been a cornerstone of the AdMo community for over 35 years. Family owned, this super funky restaurante not only has incredible food, but a story that shows us what it means to achieve your own American Dream. So, “Wepa!” Without further ado, let’s listen to my conversation about familia, cultura, and comida with El Tamarindo’s owner, Ana Reyes. Like the music on today's podcast? De Mi Tierra by Cindy Zavala aka Salvadoreina. She is an incredible Cumbia-Hip Hop Entertainer and a good friend of Mary's Center and Taste of Adam's Morgan.

Dr. Imani Woody has a vision and she is bringing it to life. It reflects a lifetime of working at the intersection of LGBTQ, race, cultural diversity, and aging issues. And it is informed by her experience with her own father, an accomplished entrepreneur, who, after entering a "good" nursing home, experienced a decline in self-worth and physical health. She took her father out of the facility, into her home, and reimagined what is possible. The model Dr. Woody has developed is based in research, including her own PhD thesis, which chronicled the challenges of aging, particularly for LGBTQ elders who are most likely to suffer from isolation, discrimination and marginalization, even in "the best" of senior facilities. She formed a nonprofit, and drew on her considerable professional experience with the Whitman Walker Center, the Mautner Project for Lesbians, the AARP Foundation Sage Metro DC and as an appointee to the DC Office of LGBTQ Affairs. In September 2020. she will break ground on the first Mary's Center for Older Adults, communal living for LGBTQ elders. And it will be located at the site of the home where she grew up in DC's Ward 7. She is hard at work, not just in DC, but in building the future of this model in all 50 states. Hear her story on Power Station and you will be a believer too.
