Zorba's Cafe near the Dupont Circle, Thu, Sep 7, 2023, 5:30 PM

Join us at Zorba's Cafe near the Dupont Circle every Thursday! We'll be gathering on the 2nd floor, or if the weather permits, we'll enjoy the outdoor seating at a table in the street. If you don't spot anyone on the 2nd floor, don't worry, just head outside and join us at the table on the street.

Dear group participants! For those who haven't attended our meetups before, the number of sign-ups is usually lower than the actual number of attendees. Long-time members are used to not RSVPing and simply show up anytime between 5:30 and 8 PM. So feel free to RSVP and join us!

We are returning to our beloved old venue, Zorba's Cafe, where we used to gather for many years. Find us on the 2nd floor.

Address: 1612 20th St NW, Washington, DC 20009

We are conveniently located near the Metro Dupont Circle station. This is the same place where we used to meet every Thursday evening prior to 2015.

Everyone is welcome to join, but please keep the conversation in Russian only. This is a great opportunity for all of us to practice speaking Russian. We also have happy hour prices available.

Timing: We usually have someone there by 5:30, but sometimes the organizers arrive by 5:45 or so. If you arrive early, please wait and we'll be there! Typically, people stay until at least 8 PM, so arriving late is perfectly fine!

RSVP's: We encourage you to RSVP, but please be aware that many people don't RSVP. So even if it seems like only a few people are planning to attend, don't worry, we usually have a lively and diverse group! (And we frequently have newcomers as well, so if you're attending for the first time, you won't be the only one.)

Also, when the weather is nice, we often sit outdoors. So if you don't see anyone on the second floor, just look for the group speaking Russian at the tables outside on the street.

And to reiterate, we have had instances where only 3 or 4 people RSVP, but we end up with around 15 attendees. So don't be concerned about the RSVP count.
Looking forward to seeing you there!
