Editorial Review
Prizewinner in Washington's Miss Little Ethiopia pageant, year after year. Corner hovel on U Street shifts between authentic African nightspot and refugee camp for Washington's oversized law student populace. Tight booths and uneven tables squeeze hundreds into a classroom-size disco diner that dazzles with 1970s chic. Vegetarians and carnivores are reconciled by eating off the same plate with their hands. Wild weekend parties dish out hyper music, beating drums, and the swaying hips of Ethiopian babes.
