Zorba's Cafe near the Dupont Circle, Thu, Jun 26, 2025, 5:30 PM

Join us for an exciting evening at Zorba's Cafe every Thursday! We will be gathering on the second floor, or, when the weather permits, enjoy the fresh air at our outdoor street table. If the second floor is empty, feel free to head outside to find us!

Dear participants! For those who are new to our meetups, please note that the attendance often exceeds the number of RSVPs. Our regulars are accustomed to simply showing up anytime between 5:30 and 8 PM, so don’t hesitate to join us!

Welcome back to our cherished venue, where we have been meeting for years! We look forward to seeing you on the second floor.

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

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

Everyone is invited, but please remember to converse in Russian only. For many, this is a precious opportunity to practice the language. Happy hour prices will be available!

Timing: The gathering typically starts around 5:30 PM, but organizers might not arrive until 5:45 PM. If you arrive early, please be patient—we will be there! People usually stick around until at least 8 PM, so feel free to come later if necessary.

RSVPs: While I encourage you to RSVP, it’s important to know that many attendees do not. It might look like only 3 people have signed up, but we often have a lively group! Newcomers are always welcome, so if it’s your first time, you’re likely to meet others doing the same.

On pleasant days, we often sit outside. If you don’t find anyone on the second floor, just look for the group chatting in Russian at the outdoor tables.

And remember, even if only a few people RSVP, we frequently have a larger turnout—so don’t worry!
We can’t wait to see you there!
