International Dining in DC: DGS Delicatessen
DGS Delicatessen
1317 Connecticut Ave. NW
Washington DC
DGS Delicatessen features modern Jewish cookery in Dupont Circle.
Chef Barry Koslow takes inspiration from the classic delicatessen, while pushing the cuisine in a new and exciting direction. DGS offers 8 day house cured meats, duck fat matzo balls, hot smoked salmon with horseradish crema and chicken schnitzel with shallot caper relish.
DGS believes that delicatessen, German for good eats, comes from the soul of the old World Jewish kitchen. In that spirit, DGS brines, cures, smokes and pickles everything served on premises. We source our ingredients from responsible farms that look after the welfare of the animals and the land.
Beverage Director Brian Zipin has crafted a beer, wine and cocktail menu amplifying the bold flavors of the delicatessen. Imbibe at the 10 seat bar in the back of the restaurant.
The delicatessen was born in Eastern Europe. It traveled with the wave of Jewish immigrants to America where the cooks of our grandparent’s generation set up the smokehouses, appetizing stores and food carts that guide our vision today. These scrappy urban pioneers inspired our name. DGS is a nod to the mom-and-pop District Grocery Stores that lined street corners in DC at the turn of twentieth century.
DGS Delicatessen is owned by 3rd generation Washingtonians and cousins Nick and David Wiseman.
The menu, short but SWEET
Corned beef sandwich
I tried the Rueben, Can't go wrong with getting one of these are a jewish deli! Very good and a Kosher pickle to go with it!! YUM
The down side is I have been here 3 times and those three times I have come they are closed and getting ready for dinner which closes for about 4 hours or so! Never heard of that. Close the door and lock them.
The service was fast and helpful I give DGS three out of five stars! ***
The Keegan Theatre modernization
The New Keegan Theatre is on the way! Thanks to generous donations, we are halfway to our $4 million dollar goal to fully modernize the Church Street Theater.
Together, we need to raise the rest.
The new Keegan Theatre will give us the facility we need to best serve our audiences, our neighborhood, and the artists who create our shows. The renovations will:
- Open up the lobby with outdoor glass vestibule and three-story contemporary design, while retaining the unique and historic external beauty of the existing building
- Add modern new restrooms – on main lobby and upper mezzanine levels!
- Make the theater ADA-accessible
- Install more comfortable seats in a pleasing configuration with added legroom
- Upgrade lighting, sound, rigging and temperature-control systems
- Expand the space behind the stage to better accommodate production development and staging
- Fully excavate an additional basement level
- Provide classroom and rehearsal space
The New Keegan Theatre will give us the facility we need to best serve our audiences, our neighborhood, and the artists who create our shows. But a big challenge remains.

Alma Tropicália is the only band this side of Rio reimagining the psych-samba sounds of 60’s tropicália music from Brazil, a mind-bending mix of soulful funk grooves, day-glo psychedelia, and political ferocity that has quickly earned the young group ecstatic reviews and packed performances across the region. The band's daring lineup combines a masterful Brazilian vocalist with the unhinged energy of a punk-bred backing band, playing a mix of classic Brazilian psychedelic covers and originals.

Harlem Shake it/ Happy hour to benefit DCAC
Buffalo Billards
1841 Columbia Rd. NW
Washington DC
Wednesday 6pm
The Harlem Shake has taken the world by storm and DC Arts Center (DCAC) is jumping on this viral trend. DCAC announced that it is hosting its first ever Harlem Shake It Happy Hour on May 15 from 6 to 8 pm at Bedrock Billiards. It is taking full advantage of the cultural phenomenon in order to raise funds for the organization. The Harlem Shake It Happy Hour is an unrestricted celebration of cyberspace and bizarre world-wide trends; it’s a guaranteed evening of endless fun, bountiful entertainment, and huge laughs. Cost is $15 per person and all proceeds will benefit DCAC.
Instead of hosting an ordinary Happy Hour, DCAC has created a collaborative event that requires attendees to take part in the popular internet meme by uncontrollably gyrating in front of a live video camera. The fun and funky Bedrock Billiards is housing this Happy Hour featuring special drinks at discounted prices exclusively for event goers. Along with the performance of the infamous dance, the Happy Hour will also include $25 reduced memberships and exciting door prizes.
Be prepared to become an internet sensation because it wouldn’t be a true Harlem Shake without a video. DCAC members, staff, and event attendees are expected to break out into convulsive dance moves to electronic music in front of a live video camera. The fun doesn’t stop after Happy Hour; look to the DCAC’s website to for a recording of the performance. DCAC supporters will go down in pop culture history as they join the collection of viral videos.
The Harlem Shake Happy Hour is open to anyone over the age of 21. Attendees are encouraged to dress in costume and bring in props in order to create the most outlandish Harlem Shake.
DC Arts Center is one of the oldest grass roots arts organizations in DC and has been serving emerging artists for nearly 25 years. It is a hot bed of cultural activity, naming Adams Morgan as one of America’s Top ArtPlaces for 2013 and one of the three must see neighborhoods in DC on Fox News. The funds raised from Harlem Shake It Happy Hour will go to support DCAC’s artists programs, Curatorial Initiative and Sparkplug, as well as its annual exhibition Wall Mountables. This one of a kind fundraiser will ensure DCAC’s operation and will provide continual support to local artists.

The Ever Changing Metropolis : DC Then, Now, and Tomorrow
The District of Columbia as a city means different things to different people. To some, it's home and always has been. To others, it's just a brief stop-over on a journey of public service. But regardless of which DC you belong to, the city is always changing.
Once sought out neighborhoods are losing their cool, while those that have struggled in recent years are emerging as tomorrow's hot spots.
Join Georgetown Professor Brian McCabe and ANC Commissioner Marc Morgan as we explore DC's past, try to tackle some of the concerns of the present, and speculate on where we might be going in the future.
Tickets: $9 Advance, $13 At-the-Door

First ones in the place the staff was still having a meeting! Doors were open and people were starting to come in! First thing is keep the doors locked if your still in a meeting, and don't keep us waiting and wondering what's going on! As soon as we walked in we should have been seated not wait 10 minutes while you finish the staff meeting! Customers come first!
After the meeting finished up we were seated and service was picking up and more people walking in! slow at first but he made up with a free coffee! So pictures below of what we ordered!
"Best" French Toast w. carmel pecan sauce and bacon
Chorizo & Avocado Omelet
I usually come here for dinner or lunch, but I wasn't impressed with the brunch! I will keep coming back for dinner!
