Washington DC’s airports are getting in the spirit of the National Cherry Blossom Festival with pink lighting to greet visitors flying in for the event. This year, peak bloom is forecast for April 8-12, 2014.
Check out some spectacular photographs of Dulles International Airport (IAD) decked out in pink by photographer J. David Buerk.
At both Reagan (DCA) and Dulles airports, food and retail concessioners will feature specials such as pink cocktails. donuts and apparel, through April 13, 2014.
The most interesting offering looks to be the Pink Hana Roll with salmon and avocado at Matsutake Sushi, at Gate A18. You can find a complete list of specials at IAD shops and restaurants here.
Matsutake was pretty disappointing last time I ate there, although to be fair I’m not sure why I decided Sushi at an airport was a good idea in the first place.
So true. I don’t know why, but there is something about these corny marketing campaigns that appeals to me. I think it is more about the airport terminal lit up in pink than in the pink martinis.
