"Bombay Club evokes not the multihued Mumbai of today but India in the time of the Raj, when English gentlemen could sit in restrained, masculine dining rooms and, presumably, cherry-pick the best of the subcontinent’s cuisine. Decorous waiters in penguin suits warn against the supposed heat of a non-threatening lamb vindaloo (thali platters, tandoori meats and Goan curries are also on offer); the menu offers discreet explanations of the various regional styles."

"Housed in a low-slung, Federal style home, 1789 feels both refined and cozy — the type of place where one expects to find professors from nearby Georgetown University sipping cocktails or exchanging ideas over foie gras-dotted pheasant ballotine. And that’s exactly what has been happening in this iconic spot since it opened in 1962, making it one of D.C.’s oldest fine dining destinations. The space, like the food, is timeless — a formula that has served it well over the years."

Washington’s oldest Roman Catholic parish is St. Patrick’s Catholic Church at 10th Street and G Street NW. The original wooden church on this site was constructed in 1794 and the second brick structure was built in 1809. That brick church was a major witness to the British sack of Washington, D.C."
