What's happening fam I'm flying over to the DMV solo from England on the 7th September I'll be there for 8 days. From a DMV persons perspective could you recommend cool food spots especially black owned I'd like to try out Soul Food, secondly other than checking out the museums and the white house what other activities are there to do? Lastly I'm down to link up with you guys who are in the DMV area I think it would pretty to hang out with the locals and meet new people, so if anyone is interested in linking up in person send me message me.

Are you gonna be based in DC, MD, or VA? I lived in all three for 23 years, you wanna maximize what you can get outta where you're staying so you can spend more time in the other areas.

If you'll be in DC, then start with Ben's Chili Bowl. The food isn't great (it's a tourist spot), but it's one of the most iconic Black-owned spots in the city. You can't come to the DMV & not go to Ben's.
I'll give you 3 more places in the DMV to check out, depending on where you plan to stay:
Oohhs & Aahhs - DC
Carolina Kitchen - MD
Della J's - NoVA

is busboys and poets still open?

Also might want to block off a day for the Smithsonian. I think you need to request a free pass from the website in advance though
