It was a packed house of well-wishers when One Lounge blew out the candles for its second year anniversary.  Co-owners Niko Papademetriou and Seth McClelland owned the door to the hotspot while simultaneously raising money and gathering toys to donate to the Washington Children's Hospital.

Guests sipped Moet Chandon, Svedka cocktails and Makers Mark set to the soundtrack of tunes from DJs and a live jazz act; The Pete Muldoon Band.

The north Dupont based lounge kept party-goers dancing until ONE turned TWO.
