Back to U Street
After a rough day at work, I went to Borders to pick up some DVDs as a super-belated birthday gift for a friend. So who should be there but motherfuckin AL FRANKEN.
At first I was like wow, it's Al Franken from Saturday Night Live! (Because I could care less about the political commentating he does.)
Then I was like oh HELL naw, he is in the music and DVD section all in my way!
But I was able to shop while he talked. So that was my celebrity sighting.
Then I called my frat Kwame and was like yo, where you at? Let's get wasted, it's been that kind of day. (I didn't mean it literally, that's just how we joke.)
Se we met up at Cafe Nema on U Street. Although there were some mix-ups with the order (I ordered a chicken kabob entree, and they gave me a chicken kabob sandwich, which I ate half of, then they came back and MADE me take the entree, lol) I really enjoyed it! The food was good, the music was nice, and the ambiance was good -- kinda like Takoma Station.
I had an amaretto sour which was tasty, thanks.
Then we walked a few doors down to Creme Cafe Lounge.... that was a little more upscale. Though I didn't eat there, I definitely would.
The drinks, however, were ON POINT. Try their Pink Lemonade....by the time I got to the bottom, I was like whoooooa.
I came home after that and had some moments that were reminiscent of my late grandfather Gus. I will leave it at that.
All in all, U Street is the spot.
And it was great to hang with my frat last night.
Today I'm meeting with a potential photographer for Old Gold Soul and I think giving a tour of Georgetown for some black folks.
Have a great Saturday!

U Street seems to be a hot spot. I have to add that to my list of things to do. I'm slowly but surely learning my way around DC.

I miss U St. so much...I loved being around there, just a great vibe and mad stuff to do. Mmm, Ben's Chilli Bowl...
I got your message about your boy, lol. He always looked a lil jacked to me *wink* But, we'll talk, lol.
Btw, I agree..amaretto sour = GROSS. I don't like licorisce like that.

You know Rah, that more you talk about DC, the more I become interested in the DC/Virginia/Maryland area(S). I was born and raised in NY. And my destiny(very soon), is the west coast(Cali).I never thought for once, that hanging out in the east coast tri state area, would have been so much fun. Let alone the cultural aspect of the environment, I missed out on.
U street seems like a blast!!
