Washington locals are still buzzing about Google’s office launch party, nearly a week later. The event, held at the company’s New York Avenue and 11th Street location last Thursday, was planned by Google event coordinator Michelle Rosen and
hailed by Washingtonian reporter Garrett Graff as “the swankiest ‘office’ party Washington has seen in years.”
Occasions Caterers handled the menu, offering everything from mini burgers and duck wraps to peanut-butter squares and mini ice cream cones, as well as vodka and cranberry test-tube cocktails (dubbed YouTubes). According to Graff's report, Capitol Hill gifting rules watered down the swag to be had, with guests being offered business-card holders or Google-emblazed baseball caps on their way out.
