Washington experienced an unprecedented rise in prostitution during and after the Civil War.
During this period, Pennsylvania Avenue became DC's most notorious red-light district, from the ramshackle "boarding houses" of Murder Bay to the glamorous pleasure houses of Marble Alley, all within sight of the Capitol. Also, a new profession for women was rising, that of the "female lobbyist." This tour will introduce you to some of the most notorious women of mid-19th Century DC,&nbsp; The route starts at the Willard Intercontinental and travels down Pennsylvania Avenue, which was the main thoroughfare along which DC's red-light district arose. The tour ends at the National Museum of the American Indian.

Come on a winding journey through an era in which the U Street neighborhood of Washington, DC was giving rise to a vibrant jazz scene and establishing the roots of a new movement in black intellectualism.
Also known as "Black Broadway", the U Street corridor was where the big names in jazz came to play at one of the dozens of clubs and theaters, and hobnob with writers and thinkers such as Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, and Alain Locke. Tour begins at the historic Howard Theater at 620 T Street NW and ends at the corner of S and 15th Street NW. The tour also makes a halfway stop at the famous Ben's Chili Bowl for a bathroom break and optional refreshment.

Use promocode Patch10 for a 10% discount!The celebrated Jasper Quartet — hailed as “expressively assured and beautifully balanced” (Gramophone) — takes center stage in Chiarina’s season opener that draws on poems and legends. Reinaldo Moya’s Yara, inspired by the myth of Venezuela’s most powerful female deity, enlivens vibrant string quartet writing with musical imagery and folk allusions, and Mozart’s mature string quartet famously elevates the cello to a melodic role. Schoenberg’s storied string sextet Verklärte Nacht (Transfigured Night), based on the poem of the same name, tells an otherworldly story of love and redemption through the lush, expressive musical language of turn-of-the-century Vienna.
