Bohemian Caverns

On the 11th of December I went to see Roberta Flack and Davell Crawford at the Bohemian Caverns. We saw the amazing performance at the Club Caverns where you walk down a flight of stairs and find yourself in the Luray Caverns of Washington DC. It’s in the basement of the Bohemian Caverns where you can find incredible musicians, very good food (not too pricey) and cool atmosphere. The U Street neighborhood has lots to pick from if you are looking for jazz but the Caverns is incredibly well known for its variety of shows and star jazz performers. You might also want to check out Blues Alley in Georgetown; HR 57 on 14th Street and Q (where you can get up and play every Tuesday); and the Vegas Lounge at 1415 P Street.

In the downtown area of DC there are a few places to find a Christmas tree. In and around U Street there is the Garden District located on 14th Street and S Street. In the Logan Circle – Shaw area you can find trees for sale at 9th and N Street (right next to the Giant). But if you want to find a great looking tree at a fare price, I recommend taking a trip all the way up to 6400 Wisconsin Ave. Go past Friendship Heights and before Bethesda you will find ‘Christmas Tree Growers’. I bought my 6 foot tree there for $39.00. Not bad.

Please call me if you are looking to rent a room or a house for the upcoming inauguration on January 20th. Feel free to contact me with inquiries at 202-550-9666.

Both homes are very close to the U Street Cardoza Metro and all of the shops and restaurants on U Street. Please contact Loic Pritchett with questions.
