Chevy Chase Pavillion Reopens, Party Perfect

Posted on February 24, 2013 in Around Town, Parties/Events

Chevy Chase Pavillion, a shopping mall within a shopping mecca, reopened with a grand fete last Thursday night, inviting more than 150 guests to see, sip and sup with event hosts Capitol File, Clarion Partners, Bryan Voltaggio’s Range, and Civil Cigar Lounge.

Attendees, including Mayor Vincent Gray, gathered to see and be scene in the renovated pavilion atrium before heading upstairs to Range/Civil Cigar Lounge for small plates, charcuterie, oysters, and famed wood oven baked pizza — as well as cigars and afterparty drinks.

The $32 million renovation project showcased the aforementioned host venues as well as the Pavillion’s other offerings, including H&M, Embassy Suites, Cheesecake Factory, J.Crew,World Market, and Starbucks (all of which included items in the coveted event giftbag, at right)
