Where: Washington, DC

Just as we’re getting used to the new housewives of New Jersey, Bravo announced this week that they are looking for women to star in "The Real Housewives of D.C."

Expect more schmoozing with ambassadors than countesses for these girls. "We’re tapping personalities who are among Washington D.C.’s influential players, cultural connoisseurs, fashion sophisticates and philanthropic leaders,” Frances Berwick, Executive Vice President and General Manager, Bravo Media, said in a statement. “The people who rub elbows with the most prominent people in the country and easily move in the city’s diverse political and social circles.” Does this mean they'll spend the whole series trying to get into Michelle Obama's wardrobe?

Though we don’t yet know who the new housewives are, we do have an idea of where they’ll hang out. Here are the likely suspects:

· Citonelle, Latham Hotel

D.C.'s elite have been frequenting this James Beard Award winning restaurant for some time. Their Promenade Gourmande pairs nine course, including Chestnut Soup and a Lobster Burger with wine pairing for $280.

· Art and Soul

Oprah's chef Art Smith brings a southern touch to local cuisine at his restauarant, Heart and Soul. The popular family-style Sunday Supper serves up the restaurant's signature Maryland Style Fried Chicken with sausage gravy and two traditional sides of buttermilk mash and greens, for $18. But one of the reasons Art and Soul is so popular with locals is the Puppy Patio Menu. Guests can bring their dogs along with them to enjoy special doggie drinks, treats and desserts.

· Mandarin Oriental Hotel Spa

The Mandarin Oriental Hotel Spa's Half Day Treatment is the ultimate in luxury for any busy, yet pampered housewife. The Nourishing Ritual features a "Foot Ritual," Chakra Balancing with Hot Stones and an Intensive Facial for $400.

· The Congressional Country Club

The Congressional Country Club was founded for Washington D.C.'s elite and still attracts the city's biggest movers and shakers. The club's current initiation fee is around $100,000 and the waiting list is up to twelve years. Included in the price is unlimited use of the club's award winning golf course, spa, bar, ballroom, bowling alley and tennis courts.
