Real Washingtonia
To find things and places, try The Washington DC Motorcade. A neat
little search engine, just say where you're headed and it'll tell you what's
along the way.
Dining, Coffee, and Nightspots
- Cafe Myth.
- Located in Georgetown, and slightly pricey, this is a Internet Cafe
and Restaurant.
Youth Scenes
Please see:
- Atticus Used Books & Music.
- Hip, happening, literate. Not what you'd expect from the looking at
the rest rest of Washington. This is the modern version of what Washington
used to be.
- DC ArtBeat. Local artists and
musicians promoting multimedia experiences.
- DC harDCcore - punk,
do-it-yourself, Rave, you name it. This is totally happening.
- DC Food Not Bombs.
Collecting almost-outdated produce, and feeding homeless and impoverished
people, and providing vegetarian food for political rallies.
- DC
Underworld. Lots of news about local shows, rallies, and other events.
- Goth in DC? check HERE!
- Cataomb DC. This is a
Saturday Night only Gothic/Industrial Club, located near relatively-safe
17th and "L" Streets NW Washington DC. It's a very nice club, and the DJs
are tops.
Performance Venues
See also ClubDC, which is
an advertisement-carrying commercial site that reviews various nightclubs.
- The Capitol Ballroom.
Dancing and live shows! Reputedly excellent. Scary neighborhood.
- The John F. Kennedy Center
for the Performing Arts (Kennedy Center). Possibly the cultural Heart of
the Nation.
- Nightclub 9:30. The new location of
the 9:30 Club is a far cry from the original location at 930 "F" Street NW.
It's now at 815 "V" Street, NW, just a block or two from
Howard University. This used to be the
old WUST Music Hall, where I once saw a truly amazing show featuring the
Butthole Surfers, Johnny Reno and the Sax Maniacs (incredible if you like
saxophone ensembles fronted with powerhouse Trower-esque guitar), and the
Dead Kennedys. It's huge. It's a great place to see bands.
- Looking for all sorts of Washingtoniana? The Washington CityPaper is
loaded with opinion, information about clubs, what's where, and that sort of
thing.
