THE FRONT ROW AT BETHESDA ROW COUNTDOWN:

T-MINUS 72 HOURS

Just 3 days until the DC area's biggest fashion event of the year - The Front Row at Bethesda Row.

While Thursday will be the official start, with events at boutiques around the Row, Friday is the big night attendees look forward to most.  That's when the fashion show happens on the runway on Bethesda Lane at 7:30 PM.  And before that, this year's VIP guest, Andy Cohen (Bravo, Watch What Happens Live, etc., etc.) will sign copies of his new book, Most Talkative, on the patio at Redwood from 5-6 PM.

But speaking of Redwood, that brings me to the best part of this year's Front Row event:  Redwood's outdoor Urban Country Runway Lounge.  

The staff will be serving fashion-inspired drinks (and I'm assuming drinks for men, as well!) even after the fashion show ends.

That's right - Redwood is hosting the first-ever Front Row at Bethesda Row After-Party!  Which means the DJ will keep spinning, and Nate Mann and crew will keep serving up adult refreshments, Redwood-style.

For those who can't afford to miss a minute of the action, reserve a table for dinner Friday evening at Redwood for a front row seat at The Front Row at Bethesda Row!

Redwood, 7121 Bethesda Lane. 301-656-5515.
