There are two locations for this local favorite. There is one locatio at 5th and K Streets, but the flag ship location is located at the corner of 14th and V Streets. The chairs are comfy, the decor warm and inviting, and the food is friendly to the carnivore or vegetarian alike. The prices for meals and beverages varies, but a dinner with a drinks averages $35.

Washington DC Museums

Frederick Douglass Residence

November 1, 2011 – 10:20 pm

History is all about Washington DC since her creation.  We cannot walk many steps without encountering a plaque, statue, or monument honoring a great hero of the past. When people come to DC, they remember to visit the archives, art museums, and theaters, but often forgotten are the tributes to equally great, but sometimes lesser known heroes…

In fact, up on Cedar Hill in Southeast D.C. sits the majestic former home of escaped slave, abolitionist, underground Railroad conductor, lecturer, publisher, military recruiter, and U.S. Marshal Frederick Douglass. Today, what was a home is now a museum, giving visitors an intimate look into the life of one of the men whose opinion helped convince President Lincoln to make emancipation a cause of the Civil War and who helped encourage a community toward greatness.

You can also visit his former residence  in the U Street Corridor  which  is at  2000–2004 17th Street, NW
