Live Music and a Wood-Fired Finale, Nov 27 to 29
Listening gives way to conversation over Mid-Atlantic plates during your Thanksgiving weekend visit. Check the programme before committing to the evening, then take Metro or the bus home. Do not drive after drinks.
Chinatown and Blagden Alley
A Seat Beneath the Arches
Start at Sixth & I, the Chinatown music venue at 600 I St NW. This historic former synagogue hosts intimate concerts and author talks. You can order a drink at the on-site bar during events. Some seats have restricted views. Arrive early for seats, and check the programme for your November 27 to 29 visit. Keep the performance first in your plan, with The Dabney as the second stop.
A Row House Finale
The Dabney centers its Mid-Atlantic cooking on a wood-burning hearth. Chef Jeremiah Langhorne directs the kitchen at 122 Blagden Alley NW. Guests can dine at the bar a la carte, an alternative to the structured dining room. Hearth roasted vegetables are among the dishes served. Ask the staff about a drink to accompany your order. Check holiday opening hours before settling the timing of your two stops.
From Stage to Supper
Sixth & I and The Dabney bring two different kinds of gathering to this Washington pairing. Concerts and author talks give the former synagogue a shared focus on performers and ideas. The Blagden Alley row house turns attention toward Mid-Atlantic cooking and a wood-burning hearth. Both have a bar, though its role differs, drinks accompany events at the venue, while the restaurant offers a la carte dining there. The contrast is between listening together and sharing a meal.
