Retro Pizza Retreat Complete with Ping Pong
No other pizza parlor in Washington DC packs in as much jollity as Comet Ping Pong. This retro retreat, where the green tabletops and round white lights support a Ping-Pong theme with an igloo-shaped, wood-fueled oven in back that issues pizza pies that are as good for their thin and yeasty crusts as for their out of the ordinary toppings.

DC's Comfort Food Diner
The Duplex Diner is the neighborhood gathering place in Washington DC. From the beginning, the Duplex Diner filled a void that existed in DC – a fun and inviting bar and restaurant where you can go and have drinks or dinner any night of the week and always feel welcome, whether you are sitting at a booth with friends or solo at the bar.

The Duplex Diner offers deceptively simple fare—classic comfort foods like Mac and Cheese, Meatloaf, Tater Tots, Pork Chops, Brownie Sundaes, as well as Low Country favorites like Fried Green Tomatoes, Shrimp and Grits and seasonal Cobblers.

Capital Pride, the Gay Pride of a Nation
Join over 200,000 people for Washington DC's 37th annual Capital Pride on historic Pennsylvania Ave. This pioneering Gay and Lesbian Pride street festival takes place between the United States Capital and the White House, just steps away from the National Mall and in the heart of the nation's governmental center. The parade winds it way through Northwest Washington DC's Gay Village in the area surrounding Dupont Circle. Parking is always an issue, so attendees are encouraged to use the Metro.

About Gay and Lesbian Washington DC
 
Washington DC Reflecting Pool and Washington Monument
Fourteen years after the founding of our nation in 1776, Washington D.C. rose from the Potomac wetlands as a federal territory, separate yet equal from the fledgling 15 states. Over two centuries later, the emblematic Capitol Building stands as the epicenter of the United States’ waning superpower status, international mystique, and the dividing Washington DCpoint of the federal district itself. Our capitol’s politically charged population spends day and night immersed in the intricacies that run our country – formulating policy and advocating change, lobbying on Capitol Hill, networking during happy hour, commemorating U.S. history, tipping political gridlock, and spending excessive sums of government money on absolutely anything and absolutely nothing.

Capital Pride is the annual LGBT pride festival held in early June each year in Washington, D.C. The festival is planned and produced by Whitman-Walker Clinic, an AIDS medical service organization.
While the daily grind in DC is more subdued than New York City, the lifestyle is equally stimulating and even more accessible. Despite 68 square miles of land and water, the majority of destination DC radiates a mere few miles from the Capitol Building. A highly expedient Metro and MetroBus system, pedestrian friendly streets and inequitable flat rate taxis allow visitors and residents to easily master Pierre Charles L’ Enfant’s urban planning conundrum. Within the small enclave of alphabet streets and state-named avenues lie the trimmed hedges, the verdant squares, the exquisite Victorian homes, the gayborhood circles, and the concoction of neoclassical, gothic, Georgian, and contemporary architectural styles that define the city’s spectacular memorials.
