Zorba's Cafe near the Dupont Circle, Thu, Jul 13, 2023, 5:30 PM

Join us at Zorba's Cafe near Dupont Circle every Thursday! We'll be gathering on the 2nd floor or, weather permitting, at a table outside on the street. If you don't spot anyone on the 2nd floor, look for us enjoying the outdoors.

Dear group members! For those who haven't attended our meetups before, the number of RSVPs may be lower than the actual turnout. Regular attendees are accustomed to not RSVPing and simply showing up anytime between 5:30 and 8 PM. Feel free to RSVP for the meetup!

Welcome back to our beloved old venue, Zorba's Cafe! Join us on the 2nd floor for an evening filled with Russian conversation.

1612 20th St NW, Washington, DC 20009

Conveniently located near the Dupont Circle Metro station, this is the same spot where we gathered every Thursday evening for years before 2015.

All language enthusiasts are welcome, but please keep the conversation strictly in Russian. This is a valuable opportunity for us to practice the language. Enjoy happy hour prices!

Timing: Someone is usually there by 5:30 PM, but sometimes the organizers arrive around 5:45 PM. If you arrive early, please wait as we'll be there soon! The gathering typically lasts until at least 8 PM, so feel free to arrive later if needed.

RSVPs: We encourage you to RSVP, but many people don't. Don't be discouraged if it seems like only a few people are attending - we usually have a lively and diverse group! (And there are often newcomers, so you won't be the only one if it's your first time.)

Additionally, when the weather is pleasant, we often sit outdoors. If you don't find anyone on the second floor, look for our Russian-speaking group at tables outside on the street.

Once again, we've had instances where only 3 or 4 people RSVPed but 15 or so showed up. So don't worry about the numbers.
See you at the meetup!
