Going to Washington DC tomorrow!?

Question

We are taking a mini-trip to Washington DC with my 4 teenage children for 5 days. I hear DC is the mega capitol for restaurants. Are there restaurants with live entertainment, other than a band? Can anyone give me some suggestions of restaurants with live entertaiment, i.e., belly dancers, greek plate throwing, etc...?

Answer 1

See if Ellington's on 8th Street (SE, near Eastern Market Metro) still has live jazz. They were great for Sunday Brunch after a trip to Eastern Market, not nearly as crowded as restaurants nearer the market. There was a Mediterranean Restaurant on a nearby stretch of Pennsylvania Ave. that had belly dancing at one time, not sure if it's still there.

The Ethiopian restaurants in DC are really good, too. There are about 100,000 Ethiopians and Eritreans living in the metro area. Actually, there are plenty of East African workers in restaurants like Johnny Rockets as well.

Answer 2

Some of the best restaurants around DC are actually in Bethesda, a northern suberb. Our favorite restaurant there is Grapeseed. It's fine dining (and quite expensive) in a casual environment, so see if you can leave the kids somewhere and treat yourselves one night!

Answer 3

The waiters and waitresses sing at Mimi's in Dupont Circle. And right down the street in Cafe Japone w/ good Japanese food and karaoke (go early, they will card later). Also, I went to Cabanas in Georgetown recently and they had flamenco dancing but it wasn't very good.

Answer 4

a effective eating position with real nutrients. attempt something distinct like Mongolian, Cambodian, Turkish, Greek, Ethiopian, El Salvadorian nutrients. Ethnic nutrients is memorable and pleasing. the position did you eventually end up going?
