Zorba's Cafe near the Dupont Circle, Thu, Oct 26, 2023, 5:30 PM

Join us at Zorba's Cafe near the Dupont Circle for our weekly Thursday gathering! We'll be on the 2nd floor of the cafe, or if the weather permits, we'll be enjoying the outdoors at a table on the street. If you don't spot anyone on the 2nd floor, look for our group at the table outside.

Dear group members! For those who haven't attended our meetups before, please note that the number of attendees who RSVP is usually fewer than those who actually come. Our regulars are accustomed to not RSVPing and simply show up anytime between 5:30 and 8 PM. So don't hesitate, RSVP and join us!

We're returning to our old venue, Zorba's Cafe, where we've been gathering for many years. Come join us on the 2nd floor.

1612 20th St NW, Washington, DC 20009

This location is conveniently close to the Metro Dupont Circle station. It's the same place we've been meeting every Thursday evening before 2015.

Everyone is welcome, but please keep the conversation in Russian only. This is a valuable opportunity for all of us to practice the language. Enjoy happy hour prices during the event.

Timing: We usually have someone there by 5:30, although sometimes the organizers arrive a bit later, around 5:45. If you're the first to arrive, please wait, we'll be there soon! People generally stay until at least 8 PM, so don't worry if you can't make it right at the start - feel free to join us later.

RSVP's: We encourage you to RSVP, but keep in mind that many people don't RSVP. So even if it seems like only a few people are planning to attend, rest assured that we usually have a lively and sizable group! (And there are almost always newcomers, so if you're attending for the first time, you won't be alone.)

Additionally, when the weather is nice, we often gather outside. If you don't see anyone on the second floor, look for the group speaking Russian at the tables on the street.

And once again - we've often had only a few RSVPs but ended up with a group of 15 or more. So don't worry about the numbers.
We look forward to seeing you there!
