What you can expect

Join a local guide for a 2-hour evening tour of the nightlife of the area that was dubbed “Black Broadway.” The U Street is known for its role in the African-American jazz scene, where theatres and clubs hosted Duke Ellington, Cab Calloway, Pearl Bailey, Sarah Vaughn, and Jam Roll Morton and many more.

Meet your local tour guide for an amazing evening walking tour and learn about African American history and heritage in D.C. Explore the U Street “Black Broadway” which was once truly the heart of Black culture in America, attracting locals and visitors for an unparalleled music and nightlife.It’s also the birthplace of celebrated D.C. hero, jazz musician Duke Ellington. Until the 1920s, the U Street Corridor was home to the nation's largest urban African-American community, and this section of the city is as vibrant as ever, anchored by the lively 14th Street corridor to the west and the refurbished Howard Theatre bordering the Shaw area to the east, where a towering sculpture in reverence to Ellington stands. Food is eclectic and exciting. This tour is one of the best ways to experience food ranging from soul food to Italian and the world-famous Ben’s Chilli Bowl. On the eastern end, you’ll visit the area known as “Little Ethiopia” for its concentration of residents from that country.
