Busboys and Poets, a restaurant/bookstore/coffee shop/bar/theatre/art gallery established in 2005, celebrates the unique cultural diversity of its location by creating a kind of progressive, "po-mo" salon for people in the U "who believe that social justice and peace are obtainable." Inside this inviting universe you'll find small living rooms, dining areas, banquet tables, all surrounded by rotating art installations, tasty food options served until the early morning, and a daily program of concerts and poetry readings on the stage. The bookstore has anti-bias children's books, multicultural titles, and many more from independent publishers and proceeds help support Teaching for Change, a DC source for literature and media that encourage children and adults to rethink the world beyond headlines.
