The Humanities Council hosted HUMANITINI ™, the smart happy hour, on
Thursday, April 24 at Don Juan Restaurant. This edition
of Humanitini, “Conversations on Great Streets: Celebrating
Historic Mount Pleasant Street” was moderated by Washington City
Paper Journalist Aaron Weiner. The conversation offered
attendees a perspective on the history, culture, and heritage of the vibrant
Mt. Pleasant street corridor and community.
Panelists included Alberto Ferrufino owner of Don Juan Restaurant, Pedro Aviles,
founder of Aviles Associates, LLC and Peter
Stebbins, a 25 year resident of Mt. Pleasant.
Approximately 60 attendees filled Don Pablo Restaurant and they
both learned and shared their perspectives on the changing Mount Pleasant
demographics, business climate and opportunities for growth.
Conversations on Great Streets is a series created by the
Humanities Council to engage residents around the history and great treasures
of some of D.C.’s well-known corridors.
