It's not exactly New Orleans, but it's getting close. As part of a sweeping reform of D.C. liquor laws unveiled on Tuesday night, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser is proposing creating designated areas for public alcohol consumption — along with a slew of other regulatory provisions aimed at boosting the city's economy. Dubbed the "Reopen Washington, D.C., Alcohol Act," the legislation would allow patrons to consume alcohol purchased at a bar or restaurant within a "commercial lifestyle center," a large-scale commercial or mixed-use area like The Wharf, City Center, the Georgetown Waterfront, or the Entertainment and Sports Arena. The commercial lifestyle center concept actually came from Virginia, where customers can purchase alcohol at a business and carry it through designated areas. Two of these special zones already exist in Arlington.
