We felt that we needed a break from the usual Bethesda DPHH in Maryland which has been going on for…too long. So we looked all around the metro Maryland area. Silver Spring? Been there. Rockville Town Center? The new bars are small. College Park? Been there too. So it came down to…Wheaton.

The Washington Post has dubbed the city a “little Adams Morgan,” but that’s probably a stretch. Wheaton is up-and coming, and they recently added a new nightclub to bolster its reputation, the Ocean Drive Nightclub & Lounge where we will host the November 2nd DPHH!

Ocean Drive has a Miami motif, a large wooden dance floor, a 13-by-10-foot projection screen, and some awesome salsa music. There will be a DJ that night spinning bachata, merengue, and reggae. Let’s spice up the dance floor, come prepared to mueve el culito til 3 a.m.!

DPHHers who decide to travel by metro will have an added adventure, they will take the longest single-span escalator in the Western Hemisphere! At 230 feet, the trip takes two minutes and 45 seconds, enough time to cook, eat, and wash the dishes. However, if you decide to forgo the adventure, there’s free parking on the public lots around the area.

There will be a $10 cover charge. DPHHers must be 21 and dressed to impress. For those who noticed, yep, we’re breaking from the traditional MD/DC/VA/DC sequence, the next two months (December and January) will be in DC.
