The Georgetown Dish, a Web site launched Dec. 17 , held its inaugural party the night before at Tackle Box, a restaurant on M Street. Its founder and publisher, Beth Solomon, says its mission is "to inform, entertain, and amuse . . . You’ll find dispatches from and photos of the social scene, community news in Georgetown, local politics, and a platform to express and exchange ideas."
With such well-known contributors as Mary Bird, Carol Joynt, Janet Donovan, Wendy Gordon, Quinn Bradlee, Frida Burling and Tina Alster, M.D., the site displays a lively media mix, powered by a trio of former AOL guys who know their business -- along with chief photographer Jeff Malet. Resembling The Daily Beast Web site, The Georgetown Dish looks like it is planning to bring some of that Tina Brown vibe to the hip, historic village. It's time to catch up and log in: www.GeorgetownDish.com.
