About
The face behind Tastes
Hello and welcome to Tastes of the Union!
I’m Alessandra Davin, the creator behind Tastes of the Union. I was born in Washington, D.C. and grew up in Silver Spring, MD. After going to college at St. John’s University in Queens, NY, I moved back home and started working in D.C.
It was then I had the opportunity to explore everything the district had to offer, including the ever growing food scene. Being one that always takes pictures, I decided to combine that passion with trying new restaurants, thus starting Tastes of the Union in January 2019.
I wanted a unique name that stood out, yet related to D.C. and the surrounding area. My now husband actually helped me come up with the name, as it’s a play on words of State of the Union.
So sit back, relax, and enjoy while you follow along my journey of bringing you all the tastes of the D.C. area. 🍾
