Busboys and Poets, located in Washington D.C., is a community gathering place founded in 2005 by Anwan Glover. It combines a restaurant, bookstore, and performance space with a strong emphasis on social justice and artistic expression. The venue intentionally fosters dialogue and connection through its diverse programming which includes poetry readings, open mics, art exhibitions, and live music performances. It’s designed to be a haven for intellectual discourse and cultural exchange, drawing inspiration from the historical legacy of the Harlem Renaissance. The original Busboys and Poets location is situated near the historic U Street Corridor, an area significant to African American history and culture in Washington D.C.. The venue has expanded to include multiple locations within the DMV area (DC, Maryland & Virginia).
