 | Just
a cool place, which has supported Tango for 2.5 years non stop. It is
the only restaurant in DC that has long supported Tango events. If you
are up for a great brunch, with a good atmosphere and good prices ($10
steack and eggs), we would like to refer you to Meze Restaurant.
And perhaps we will play for you Gotan, Narco, Bajo..
Meze Restaurant opened in June 2001 in the heart of Adams Morgan and
immediately received critical acclaim for its delicious cuisine, warm
ambiance, and friendly service. The word “meze” describes
a form of socializing as much as a group of dishes. Tango Nights started
on a regular basis at the beginning of 2005. |

Adams Morgan is a culturally diverse neighborhood in Northwest Washington,
DC. Its name is derived from the names of two, formerly segregated schools:
the older, all-black Thomas P. Morgan Elementary School (now defunct) and
the all-white John Quincy Adams Elementary School. Since the 1960s, enduring
ethnic, linguistic and cultural diversity generated a full array of international
shops and restaurants. Today Adams Morgan is a thriving spot for night life.
