GOT WI-FI?: BUSBOYS AND POETS WASHINGTON DC
The Story
In the 1920’s, renowned African American poet Langston Hughes (above) lived in DC and worked as a busboy in a local hotel. One night, he gave his poems to Nicholas Vachel Lindsay (another poet), who read them and informed the world of his work in the local newspapers the next day. Hence, a star was born and went on to contribute to the Harlem Renaissance.
Food/Beverage Selection
If I was rating this on the 1 – 10 scale, I would give it a 6. Here’s where they could use a bit of help. It seems like this menu was infected by the random stick from pizza to coffee.
Wi-Fi Action
Excellent FREE Wi-Fi. Even better, no annoying password to deal with and comfy couch space (see above).
Final Call
I began my visit with my laptop and a lemonade (see above). At some point, an old college friend met up and I moved on to coffee. Even later, 2 more friends arrived and I had a peanut butter and banana sandwich. If I hadn’t had to leave for the obligatory Sex and the City movie watching, I could have stayed all night. Marauder love on this one. Fast free internet. Good food. Comfy chairs and a cool vibe. What’s not to love?
Location
There is another located in Virginia as well but being that I only have the goods on this one, I’ll stay with what I got.
