PEDICABS ARE

COMING TO

DOWNTOWN BETHESDA

The soon-to-open Co2 Lounge in the former McCormick and Schmick's space on Woodmont Avenue will offer pedicab service to patrons. To my knowledge, this is a first in the DC area, and certainly within Montgomery County. Of course, one could argue that pedicabs are more associated with wild nights in certain beach resorts in our area.

Contrast that with the lofty concept proposed by this indoor-outdoor lounge with torches and ultramodern appointments, and a whole new experience may be unfolding steps away from Bethesda Metro Center.

Positioned as Bethesda's first high-end lounge and nightspot, Co2 will also offer limousine service into the District, and discounted rates on rooms at the close by Hyatt Bethesda hotel. Clearly, Co2 is catering to an upscale party crowd, but also a sophisticated one. Art displays, music performances and fashion shows - complete with models' runway! - are planned.

So check out Co2, and don't forget to tip your pedicab driver!
