Zorba's Cafe near the Dupont Circle, Thu, Sep 25, 2025, 5:30 PM

Join us every Thursday at Zorba's Cafe for an engaging evening! We'll gather on the second floor, or if the weather permits, we might be enjoying the fresh air at a street-side table. If you can't find us on the second floor and it's nice outside, it's likely we are seated outdoors.

Dear Group Members! For those who haven't attended our meetups before, please note that fewer people usually RSVP than actually show up. Our regulars have gotten used to dropping by without signing up, so feel free to come by at your convenience between 5:30 PM and 8 PM!

Welcome back to our familiar venue! We have been meeting at Zorba's Cafe for years, and it's great to return. Meet us on the second floor!

Location: 1612 20th St NW, Washington, DC 20009

Conveniently located near the Dupont Circle Metro station, this is where we used to gather every Thursday evening before 2015.

All are welcome, but we kindly ask that conversations be conducted in Russian only. For many, this is a unique opportunity to practice the language. Plus, happy hour specials are available!

Timing: While someone typically arrives by 5:30, it may take the organizers until around 5:45 to show up. If you arrive first, please wait for us! Attendees usually stay until at least 8 PM, so arriving a bit late is completely fine!

RSVPs: I encourage you to let us know if you're coming. However, many participants opt not to RSVP, so even if it appears that only a few are planning to attend, rest assured we usually have a lively crowd! Newcomers are always welcome, so if you're attending for the first time, you likely won't be alone.

When the weather is pleasant, we often sit outside. If you don't find anyone on the second floor, just look for a group speaking Russian at the tables on the street.

Remember, it's common for only a few people to RSVP, yet we often see around 15 attendees! So, don’t let the small RSVP count deter you. We look forward to seeing you!
