SAMIRA FARMER

WHO: Vice president and business manager of top DC auction house Doyle. MIDDAY BITE: “Bourbon Steak (2800 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, 202-944-2026; bourbonsteakdc.com) for lunch never falls short. I’m addicted to the salmon burger.” GALLERY TALK: “I love to stroll into Artist’s Proof (1533 Wisconsin Ave. NW, 202-803-2782; aproof.net). I always see a piece I could easily live with.” SPANISH ACCENT: “Barcelona (3310 Wisconsin Ave. NW, 202-800-4100; barcelonawinebar .com) has a friendly bar, and the food is great. I gravitate toward neighborhood spots; this has the right mix.” LET’S MINGLE: “With live music or a DJ, Evenings at the Edge at the National Gallery of Art (Constitution Avenue and Sixth Street, 202-737-4215; nga.gov) feels electric. I always meet such interesting people. On my last visit, Theaster Gates’s work The Minor Arts blew me away.” RELAX: “Urban Butcher (8226 Georgia Ave., Silver Spring, 301-585-5800; urbanbutcher.com) is my go-to right now. There’s happy hour all day on Sunday, and the lavender margaritas are terrific.” Doyle is located at 3256 Prospect St. NW, 202-342-6100; doyle.com.
