Zorba's Cafe near the Dupont Circle, Thu, Mar 20, 2025, 5:30 PM

Join us every Thursday at Zorba's Cafe for a delightful evening! We will gather on the second floor, and if the weather permits, we’ll enjoy the fresh air at a street-side table. If you don't spot anyone on the second floor, just check outside; that’s where we’ll be!

Dear group members! For those who haven't attended our meetups yet, please note that we often have more attendees than those who RSVP. Regulars are accustomed to dropping by without prior notice, so feel free to join us anytime between 5:30 PM and 8:00 PM!

Welcome back to our beloved venue! We've been meeting at Zorba's Cafe for years, and we’re excited to continue this tradition on the second floor.

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

Conveniently located near the Dupont Circle Metro station, this is the spot where we've gathered every Thursday evening for many years prior to 2015.

Everyone is invited to join, but please remember to converse in Russian only. For many of us, this is a fantastic opportunity to practice our language skills. Plus, enjoy happy hour pricing while you’re there!

Timing: While someone usually arrives by 5:30 PM, it may take the organizers until around 5:45 PM to get there. If you're the first to arrive, please wait for us—we'll be there! We typically stay until at least 8 PM, so arriving late is absolutely fine.

RSVPs: We encourage you to RSVP, but keep in mind that many attendees don’t. It might look like only three people are coming, but rest assured, we usually have a lively group! We often welcome newcomers, so if it's your first time, you likely won’t be alone.

On nice weather days, we often sit outside. If you don't see anyone on the second floor, just look for the group speaking Russian at tables on the street.

To reiterate, we might have only three or four RSVPs but end up with around 15 participants, so don’t let the numbers discourage you!
Looking forward to seeing you there!
