Black Broadway – U Street Food Tour

Eat at our Favorite U Street Restaurants

Connect with DC’s jazziest community on our stroll through the U Street corridor. Discover the foods that repaired a rioting city, and sample diverse cuisines of cultures that have come to call DC home. If you listen closely, you might even hear some tunes from DC’s own Go-Go music!

Sample the classic flavors unique to the district and discover the new tastes that are shaping its culinary evolution as we continue down the street while stopping to hear stories behind local murals, buildings, and sculptures that define the city’s heritage. Explore some of the best places to eat on U Street.

Taste the local bites

Don’t know what a half smoke is? Don’t worry. We’ll explain it along the way, and you’ll be glad we did! After all, this is a food tour. And we believe the best way to connect to a city is through its cuisine!

Aside from carefully curated tastings and fascinating history, your experience includes custom photos of your tour. A portion of each tour ticket is donated to our charity partner and is enough to feed a local resident in need for the whole day, three full meals.

Considering More than One of Our Tours During Your Visit?

Wondering if there is overlap between Black Broadway – U Street Fork Tour and U Street’s Jazzed Up Cocktail Tour? Here is your answer: NOPE! They are in the same neighborhood and focus on similar subjects but the restaurants, tastings, and experiences are DIFFERENT. We often have people spend their Saturdays with us doing both tours with a little break in between!
