Both hotels are close to Ginja, a modern take on a traditional French brasserie. After dinner, head upstairs to Shoga, a bar where...
...than any other Administration. A shrewd businesswoman, Mrs. Johnson also brought to such events a notable warmth. On one memorable occasion, her calm dignity soothed a White House women's gathering after Eartha Kitt delivered a bitter anti-Administration protest. Elaborate state dinners often wound up with the liveliest late-hour dancing in official memory.
