Washington, D.C. - June 15, 2019: Hasna Laraisse, assistant GM at the Kingbird, left, talks with D.C. restauranteur Micheline Mendelsohn before ordering dinner at the Watergate Hotel restaurant Saturday June 15, 2019. Her husband Clifford Luhn, holds their three-year-old son Wesley. In a few minutes Laraisse will lead the couple’s daughters Catherine and Isabella Luhn, 10 and 8, on “The Scandal Scavenger Hunt,” in the hotel’s famous Scandal Suite, where burglars hired by former president Nixon spied on the Democratic National Convention’s offices. The idea is to let the children play detective while their parents enjoy a few minutes of adult time at the hotel’s Kingbird restaurant. For desert, the whole family gets free ice cream sundaes, reputed to have been the former presidents favorite dessert.
