We are launching a campaign to highlight local businesses and their products or services that wouldn’t be the same without DC tap water!
 
From beer, soap, tea, coffee shops, and more, we are excited to explore the businesses unique to the District, and encourage the public to follow along!
 
Follow us on Instagram to see who we highlight; and check back to this page as the list grows. If you’re a business owner and want Wendy and friends to visit your local business, shoot us an email.
 
Drink Local, Shop Local, and remember: the best things in the District are made with DC tap!
