heading there for the first time ever reall... anyone have any suggestions of stores i should visit? (kaiju or not)

also interested in jazz clubs

thanks!

Don't think theres any good vinyl stores unless anything opened recently, bannedindc could likely give you confirmation.

Maybe Blues Alley for Jazz clubs (not my thing really).

DC has cornered the market on corrupt and incompetent leadership and there's lots of expensive call girls but no vinyl toy stores of the type you're looking for that I'm aware of.

Edit: If I'm wrong on the vinyl toy store thing please point it out here because it'd be great to find out I'm missing something.

Nothing in DC for vinyl. Booo
No idea about live jazz. Krudler was right about blues alley. id also say check out the Citypaper, they have a regular jazz section in there.

But if youre looking for Jazz vinyl try orpheus records in arlington!

yea, orpheus is a good spot for jazz records.
i used to live in reston,
my friend still does and buys LPs there all the time.

lemme know your restaurant tastes and I can make recommendations.

I mostly listen to electronic music so not sure on jazz but you might want to check out eighteenth street lounge for a drink and great music.

no vinyl shop in dc....hrrmmm...scratches chin....joint venture anyone

we're vegetarian so that is the guiding force in our restaurant choices

If meat isn't an option maybe Indian food? You like spicy food or what?

yah if you like indian you should check out Rasika. I think a reservation might be required and a tad on the expensive side but definitely worth it. You could also get a great vege-pizza @ 2Amy's (arguably best pizza in the city) in NW D.C. .. I'm not vegetarian so I don't know any vege-specific type places.

java green(almost un dupont circle) is great
soul veg in NW has a great vegan sunday buffet.
sticky fingers(columbia hieghts?) is a vegan bakery that is RIGHT ON!!!
if you can venture out of the city try sunflower cafe in vienna
