[quote=Anonymous]I was more of a 2004 DC baby, so post-911, but it was still super fun and different than it its now.

Adams Morgan was where the nightlife was at. TomTom for Group Therapy, Heaven and Hell, Dan's Cafe, Madam's Organ. Mad dashes for the taxis when the lights went up, and you'd ask them to drop you off right on the zone line and stumble home a few blocks to save $2.50.

If you went to Georgetown it was Rhino, Third Edition, and Smith Point (for me, to make fun of Republican youth).

Dancing on tables at Cafe Citron and feeling "mature" at ESL.

Trivia at Stetsons and hookah at ChiCha and the Local 16 rooftop.

U Street was just starting to be a thing, and we'd venture over to some smaller places there sometimes. There was one with pool tables? And Tabaq had that huge fancy rooftop.

Sometimes we went to Clarendon Grill for bands, which was pretty fun and so far away. We met a band at Spring Break in college that played there sometimes so we felt very special when they came to town.

I wasn't that into the brunch scene but had plenty of dates at MieNYu (that coed bathroom!) and similar restaurants downtown.

How has no one mentioned WAKA Kickball? I played on Monday nights and we went to smaller AdMo bars afterwards. On a Monday! And then to work the next day. Unbelievable.

What a time to be alive! [/quote]
