Most of Old Town's holiday-inspired arts events, parades and city traditions have already passed, but the strong restaurant scene is keeping things going through this week. All events below are within walking distance of Old Town Commons, but be sure to put a scarf on, as it seems Mother Nature has decided it's winter!
For you Seinfeld fans, Rustico is hosting a Festivus Celebration with 12 seasonal beers on tap on December 20th starting at 6 p.m. Get the full list of beers here. Rumor has it that Beer Director Greg Engert will be at the event. Perhaps he'll share more details on the brewery they're planning to open at the Boilermaker Shops steps from our townhouses selling at Capitol Quarter!

On December 21st you can also hop on over to Vermillion Bar and Restaurant's 3rd Annual Holiday Bash at 9 p.m. There will be live music, Christmas cookies and candy, seasonal winter beers & cocktails, plenty of holiday cheer and of course… SANTA!

Roz Winegrad was fifth in line last November to purchase a townhome by EYA at Cabin John Village, even though the Potomac, Maryland, development was still just a fenced-in parking lot. The single mom, whose son leaves for college next fall, had been looking at several options to downsize from her large contemporary house in Bethesda. “I was looking for a way to not feel so isolated, and to be part of a community,” she says of the unit she chose that faces Cabin John Regional Park. At the same time, Winegrad will be able to take just a few short steps to the shops and restaurants of the newly updated Cabin John Village. “I think it’s going to be a premier shopping and dining destination without the craziness of downtown Bethesda or Pike & Rose,” she says. “I still want serenity, and I still want a home in an area where there aren’t millions of people every day.”

When it comes to living in a city, proximity is everything. Being close to family and friends, your favorite activities, and planning your commute to work are all equally important factors to consider when choosing a neighborhood. It can be challenging to find a location that balances not only your wants and needs, but the vibrancy of downtown with a quieter, close-knit community you can escape to at the end of the day.
