Oral History/Documentary
Restaurants by Takoma/Cleveland Park
2026-2029
Our most democratic, Romantic places, restaurants capture something essential, ongoing, truthful. Simple palaces of hopes and dreams, they reveal what we esteem and find worthwhile. In this years-long undertaking, Takoma/Cleveland Park seeks to get to the root of how the beauty is produced, from those who serve, those who set the table, clean the table, purchase the lots, oversee everything. In this oral history/documentary, we examine the experiences of 120 individuals who have served in the restaurant/retail spaces.
