We can be found in the Cleveland Park neighborhood of Washington
DC, on Connecticut Avenue at metro's red line Cleveland Park stop,
two blocks north of National Zoo, and not far from the National
Cathedral. Our neighborhood boasts critically acclaimed restaurants
and the Uptown Theater, one of the finest wide-screen cinemas in
the country. We have enjoyed doing business in the rich cultural
environment of Washington, with its magnificent museums, its beautiful
cherry blossoms, and its historic homes and gardens. Washington
offers a wide variety of cultural and culinary events, many open
to the public at no cost, many sponsored by embassies. A sampling
of Washington's vast resources follows:
