In Georgetown, The Super Rich Fight Over Mansion Reboot

MARK EIN, ON THE RIGHT, IN THE KITCHEN HE WANTS TO REDO.

Take a few minutes to read the Washingtonian account of a very nasty real estate battle that is going down between some very rich people in Georgetown. In one corner is socialite developer Jane Cafritz. In the other it is venture capitalist Mark Ein. They are backed by their supportive spouses, teams of lawyers and architects, and each side wants its own way. What's the cat fight over? The (relatively moderate) upgrading Ein would like to do to a property he owns, the former home of Katharine Graham. It is next door to the the Cafritz house, which already underwent several upgrades.

Read the whole sordid story from Luke Mullins: The Catfight Over Katharine Graham's House. (But, please know, this is not typical Georgetown, where folks are generally quite neighborly).

THE Q&A CAFE

The Q&A Cafe is now in its 21st year. We launched in October 2001 at Nathans in Georgetown as a response to the September 11 terror attacks, and from that initial purpose grew into a weekly community interview lunch, the first "talk show in a bar." When Nathans closed in 2009 we moved to the Ritz Carlton Hotel and since 2015 our home has been The George Town Club. Some 500 notable individuals, from all fields, have appeared for interviews, which are taped and air Fridays on DC Cable. All are welcomed to attend. For reservations: 202-333-9330.
