About

Hot Dog Sunday at Crush Dance Bar in Washington's U Street corridor is the easiest afternoon plan in town. Doors open at 2PM, DJ Matt Bailer keeps the playlist going, and the free hot dogs last while supplies do, so get there early. Crushes and Tito's are $9 all day, so you'll be dancing well before the sun sets.

The U Street Corridor's golden age comes alive on this 1.5-hour walking tour led by Rainbow History Project and Off the Mall Tours.
