DC Stomping

Ten years ago, my BFF and I both moved to the east coast - she to DC and I to Boston. Even though I abandoned Boston after 3 years, she ended up staying in DC so I have visited consistently. Over the last decade, we have shared some wonderful memories there and, now, as we move to NYC for the summer, we are saying goodbye to:

Busboys and Poets.  Named after Langston Hughes. Bar plus coffee plus bookstore plus poetry slams. A place that strives to be culturally, politically and socially aware in the best of ways. Touted as the spot for artists, activists, writers, thinkers and dreamers.

Dukem.  A fantastic Ethiopian restaurant with questionable service at times.

Tryst.  A local early morning or late night coffee shop in Adams Morgan mixed with alcohol, movies and music.

Bukom. West African restaurant also located in Adams Morgan and unlike any spot I have come across in LA.

Dangerously Delicious Pies.  Known for its Baltimore Bomb (which on this particularly evening was sold out).

Colorful townhouses...

...and of course, Georgetown, Ben's Chili Bowl, all the museums, the Supreme Court and the White House (not in that order).
