Bossa Bistro + Lounge is an Adams-Morgan institution bringing you the best in live world music, Brazilian tapas, cutting edge art, spoken word events, and the finest cocktails on the strip. Unique in every regard, Bossa is one of those rare grown-and-sexy places in the city where you can feel equally at home with a date, your posse, or your grandpa. Bossa is famous for its nightly shows, featuring formidable acts in the biz - Junior Marvin of Bob Marley and The Wailers renown; Cheick Hamala Diabate, DC's resident Malian griot; Thievery Corporation's Sitali; Brazilian songstress Cissa Paz; salsa sensations Alfredo Mojica, Raul Morel, and Tumbao; and other celebrated powerhouses grace the house regularly. You don't have to save up for a churrascaria extravaganza to sample Brazilian fare here. With a head chef direct from the state of Minas Gerais, you can enjoy national culinary treasures tapas-style and kick back with a caipirinha for extra authenticity. Carnivores, vegetarians, vegans, and gluten-free folks all have options for the tasting. The art gallery features local painters, photographers, and lithographers with a global and unusual vision. Shows rotate, but "Bossacima Project" - a take on da Vinci's "The Last Supper" recreated with Bossa regulars - is the house's trademark and most provocative conversation piece, and it maintains its permanent home above the main floor bar.

Before the Apollo, before the Regal, there was The Howard Theatre. At its opening in 1910 it was “the largest colored theatre in the world.” Sadly shuttered and neglected since the early 1980s, the once majestic building with its “trunk of soul” survived death in order to be reborn in 2012. For most of the 20th century, The Howard Theatre captivated audiences with music, dance, drama and comedy. In its early days, speakers like Booker T. Washington shared the stage with musicals, road shows, vaudeville acts, theater productions and community programs. Later, Washington’s favorite son Duke Ellington inaugurated a new era of jazz big bands on The Howard’s stage. When the nation was deeply divided by segregation, The Howard Theatre provided a place where color barriers blurred and music unified. Dubbed the “Theatre for The People” by The Washington Bee, it was the place where dignitaries like President Franklin D. Roosevelt gathered with everyday folks to see both superstars and rising stars – many of whom debuted at The Howard Theatre. Along with Duke Ellington, greats such as Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Billie Holliday, Cab Calloway and Nat King Cole graced the Howard stage and made way for talents like Marvin Gaye, Aretha Franklin, Dizzy Gilespie, The Supremes, Otis Redding, Lena Horne and James Brown. The Howard Theatre inspired change, yet felt the impact of a nation in flux following the 1968 riots. Eventually, the degradation of the neighborhood forced the theater to close. After several false starts in the late ’70s and early ’80s to reinvigorate The Howard, the curtains fell and the theatre remained shuttered until 2012. Today, the Howard Theatre is enjoying rebirth and a entering a new era in its long and prestigious history.
