rep ties and down fishbowl-sized
martinis. The menu features such
typical, homestyle American eats
as pigs-in-a-blanket, meatloaf,
and tater tots. Try their cheddar,
pepperjack and parmesan mac-ncheese.
It’ll be lethal on your waistline
but worth every inch.
Annie's Paramount Steakhouse
1607 17th Street NW
This gay-friendly eatery is your
typical steakhouse—except way
later. “Dinner and a show” takes
on a whole new meaning as drag
queens and assorted club folk
table-hop at the end of their shifts.
Located on “Ye Old Gay Strip”
(17th Street used to be the gay
strip before 14th Street took over),
Annie’s takes to heart the creed
“All men are created equal” and
has become a landmark in the gay
community. Highly recommended:
“Bull In The Pan.”
The Diner
2453 18th Street NW
www.trystdc.com/diner
Open 24 hours, 7 days a week, this
coffeehouse/bar/lounge in Adams
Morgan serves “early birds, night
owls, and everyone in between.”
Although it features a quaint simple
diner atmosphere, this is not your
typical greasy spoon—more a slice
of New Yawk, with unusual menu
items like Ginger Lime Glazed
Swordfish and Gruyere Macaroni
& Cheese as well as a full bar. Great
prices, good food, all sorts of people.
Best brunch in town.
Logan Tavern
1423 P Street NW
www.logantavern.com
This establishment is a little more
upscale, for those who want a sit-down,
all-out dinner. Located in the Logan
Circle neighborhood in what has recently
become the new gay area, this sister
of the popular restaurant Grillfish is
sophisticated without being pretentious.
Unique dishes such as ginger calamari
and wassabe-crusted meatloaf make
their reasonably-priced menu eclectic
as well as delicious. Try the crab-andshrimp
mac-n-cheese.
ShOPS
universal Gear
1529 14th Street NW
www.universalgear.com
Nothing says “gay” so loudly and
proudly. Recently moved from 17th to
14th Street, this gay staple remains at
the center of the gayborhood. Onestop
shopping for tank tops, sunglasses,
overpriced jeans, and every fun-to-wear
brand of underwear.
Georgetown
www.georgetowndc.com
Located in the Northwest quadrant
of D.C. amidst hills overlooking
the Potomac, this famous townhouse
district is home to great shopping as
well as fine dining. The intersection of
Wisconsin Avenue and M Street forms
the commercial epicenter of this charming
area, which features such gay favorites
as Puma, Adidas, H&M, FCUK,
Lucky Brand Jeans, Diesel, and Energie
stores.
SiGhTS
international Spy Museum
800 F Street NW
www.spymuseum.org
Mission impossible meets museum in
this homage to the world of espionage.
Spy gadgets, bugs, and buttonhole
cameras are just some of the fun things
