For those that are new to DC and are looking for a way to contribute to the community and to meet other other people new to DC, I would recommend joining Greater DC Cares. It's a nonprofit that organized community events around the area like neighborhood cleanings, work in soup kitchens, kids hospitals, etc, for evenings and weekends. It's also a good way to meet other young people. They send out an email every week for the upcoming events, and you simply respond when you're interested in participating.

The Bangkok Bistro is a beautiful restaurant with wonderful atmosphere. The staff is very friendly and professional. The food is absolutely wonderful. I've been coming here for years and always order something new and delicious. They offer wonderful specials and sidewalk dining is available in the warm months. The Bangkok Bistro is moderately priced and well worth the trip.

I needed my driveway paved because the asphalt was starting to break apart. American Concrete Pavement Association was recommended to me by a friend. They provided me with a quote the next day and were able to do the job while I was at work. It was nice not having to worry about having to take time off of work to meet with them. When I arrived home my driveway looked as good as new.

I have personal experience with this company - their work is based on a concept of honesty and fair prices. Simply put, they do a WAY better job than their competitors. They will give you an estimate that is VERY close to what the actual cost ends up to be. No overestimating/overcharging here! This is because of their postive, up-front attitude in dealing with their customers.
A minority-owned business, they are located in NE, and recently opened up a new office off of Rhode Island Avenue, so as to be easily accessible to all of the DC Metro area. They do both residential and commercial electrical wiring - I got them to up the 'amp load' in my home and thier work was perfect.

Project Northstar provides tutoring for students in long-term temporary housing in Washington, DC. Tutoring takes place for about two hours a night most days of the week at six sites around the city. You can pick which site is most convenient for you. Best part is -- Project Northstar works hard to empower the students and incorporates the tutors to create a close-knit, supportive community that the kids seem to really respond to. I've been tutoring there for six months. It's been hard at the times I didn't know how to deal with misbehaving kids, but the staff of Project Northstar was always super helpful. I very much recommend it.

I can't think of a single person who doesn't like attending shows held by the National Symphony Orchestra. My father has been taking me to see them since I was a little girl, and I've always loved them.
I love going to the shows with guest musicians, since it makes it seem like a different group each time. I highly recommend NSO to everyone!

Women for Women was founded by Zainab Salbi in 1993 to support women in war torn countries. This currently includes Bosnia, Rwanda, Iraq, just to name a few. Zainab had just graduated from college when she founded it and two years later, she was honored by the Clintons. She has taken the organization very far, expanding it interationally. She's been on Oprah numerous times, been on the cover of Time, and is truly an inspiring philanthropist.
Women for Women is based out of DC and matches up sponsors who donate a fixed amount each month to sponsor a woman in a war torn country. These funds go to helping women establish themselves and provide for their families. In DC, volunteers can help support the organization. This organization really does a great deal to empower women and rebuild communities one step at a time.
