Marvin / Washington D.C. 2007
Marvin, a new bistro and lounge near 14th and U streets, just opened this winter. There's no sign outside, just a small plaque on the door.
It's owned by Eric Hilton, one-half of internationally renowned DJ duo Thievery Corporation and founder of Washington's legendary Eighteenth Street Lounge. The name is a nod to Marvin Gaye, a native Washingtonian responsible for dozens of soul gems, including Hilton's favorite album of all time, "What's Going On."
