Politicos and the literati
Politics & Prose Bookstore and Modern Times Coffeehouse
Why locals love it
One of Washington DC's most spacious independent booksellers, Politics & Prose is known for its stellar and steady line-up of readings and events each day and night. The staff are well-read and ready to make recommendations and conversation with patrons. This mentality illuminates the particular, rigorous selection of reads at the store.
Why you should visit it
As much a cultural hub as it is a bookstore, Politics & Prose serves as a gathering place for people interested in reading and discussing book--a breed that many in America think is dead, and yet, this cultural hub is always filled with thinkers and readers.
Special tip
Keep your eyes peeled for famous writers and politicos alike. Obama has even stopped in.
