K St is the center of the Washington lobbying industry. This is where high-powered lawyers, consultants and, of course, lobbyists (‘K St’ and ‘lobbyist’ have practically become synonymous since the 1990s) bark into their smartphones and enjoy expensive lunches. Come nightfall, the same power set comes back with hair considerably slicked and/or flattened to drink expensive cocktails while surrounded by the sort of people who swoon over everything we’ve just described.
