Overview

U Street's Black Broadway era defined American culture — and its flavors still live on this corridor. Blue Fern Travel's DC's Original Food Tour explores the neighborhood bite by bite: from Ben's Chili Bowl to Ethiopian injera to flavors found nowhere else in America. Your guide reveals the murals, the jazz clubs, and the Civil Rights history woven into every block. Small group, max 12 guests. Every booking gives back to U Street and the community we walk through.
