Harper is executive director of Cultural Tourism DC, a coalition of nonprofits to promote cultural awareness in D.C. She is preparing for the annual Embassy Chef Challenge on April 12. What’s your favorite Cultural Tourism D.C. event?
That’s a real tossup — each one brings a new D.C. experience.Embassy Chef Challenge is such a wonderful opportunity to explore the world through food. … Passport D.C. only broadens that experience with the opportunity to come face to face with a new country; its music, fabrics, food, dance and its people. There’s nothing like being able to travel around the world and not leave D.C. — no TSA pat-downs, no extra baggage fees,you can’t beat it! I’m also a big fan of WalkingTown and BikingTown. … I think I know the city pretty well, but I learn something new each time I go on one of these walks.
