Xalimopatra Posted July 10, 2007 I will be in the DC come last day of this month Insha'Allah. Since this is my third trip to the East Coast of the USA I want to be able to know of any cultural events/showcases PRIOR to me arriving.I always find out about cool events when it's too late :mad: Aswell as DC/NoVa I will be visiting IL,FL,GA, and if I get enough time towards the end OH,MI,MN.I will be there through the whole month of August Insha'Allah. Give me the info people! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sheherazade Posted July 10, 2007 all they know is where to feed you bariis, which'll be their homes and/or grotty cafes. It'll be like you never left home. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
STOIC Posted July 10, 2007 ^^^Just to prrove what you said I will advice her to go by Cafe Nema .If you are a conservative/religious Somali I wouldn't advice you to go there.It would be a shocker for you.I liked the owner(A nice fellow).It is on U street.As for cultural stuff I think DC museums would do you a justice.I would let you know more once you hit the South.Especially Atlanta.

Xalimopatra Posted July 11, 2007 Awlugeeye Ceeb,Ceeb niyow.I drove past Cafe Nema with my friend when we were about to go hit Adams Morgan.Apparently it's not a good destination for a low-key date.But I wouldn't know anything about that My good friend is a Spelmanite hence another reason why I have to swing-by Atl Insha'Allah.I will let you know beforehand ,but seriously is Atl all there is to GA? Sheh naa speak for yourself.I barely got a chance to eat good-old home cooked bariis the times I was there! :mad: I'm off to bed! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
STOIC Posted July 11, 2007 It is not that scarry for a first date.Every one in there is a reer magaal.I doubt if they would mind a Somali couple dating.It is the only restaurant I found a Somali bartender(How cute?lol Istagfuruallah).Although I begged my girlfreind to dine there with me, but she adamantly refused.She was scared of meeting someone that knows her family in there.I like the Gorgetown area at night.You should take a stroll there at night. You are more than welcome to PM me if you have any question whenever you are in A-town.Unless you want to go to Savannah there is nothing else in Georgia.It is a bit of a slow state.What do you expect it is the sleepy southern state.

Xalimopatra Posted July 11, 2007 Lol@Bartender... yes but imagine trying to woo a conservative Brit.Nobody knows me in DC so I wouldn't have the same problem as your girlfriend.Cafe Nema is probably the last place you'd choose,just from the outside with the red lights I was kind of put off.Def will try and check it out tho just for the laughs. Georgetown is nice.Slightly preppy and people are cool.I loved Old town Alexandria tho.I would recommend the Fish Market joint.Really nice food and quiet too.DC overall is nice lakiin NOTHING and I mean nothing surprised me more then the rough side of DC.I was slightly naive upon my first arrival in DC because I thought it would all look so decent.I almost got into a duel with a Ethio cashier at a 7/11 downtown.Lordy.... Anyways I will def keep you posted. G'Night Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dhimbil Posted July 11, 2007 ^Thank's for this post xalimo. I will be around DC soon for the first time, will definitely check out Cafe Nema. Do we have DC nomads around? any other places to visit other than the official museums/parks? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
