Washington, D.C. - June 15, 2019: A framed picture quoting Richard Nixon “YOUT WON’T HAVE NIXON TO KICK AROUND ANYMORE, BECAUSE, GENTLEMEN, THIS IS MY LAST PRESS CONFERENCE.” hangs in the Watergate Hotel’s “Scandal Suite.” Hasna Laraisse, the Kingbird’s assistant GM, right, guides Catherine Luhn, 10, and her sister Isabella, 8, (not seen), on the “Scandal Scavenger Hunt” Saturday June 15, 2019. 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.
The Watergate Hotel’s restaurant Kingbird offers patron’s children “The Scandal Scavenger Hunt,” in the famous Scandal Suite, where burglars hired by former president Nixon spied on the Democratic National Convention’s offices.
