Dominican Social Club

[Chino]

Residing in Burke, Virginia since Aug 05. Anyone knows if we have a Dominican Social Club in the Wash, DC/Alexandria, Springfield, VA area where Dominicans can meet and socialize?

In D.C there is a Music store by the name Zodiac Record Shop that belongs to a dominican married to a Salvadorean....It is located on 18th street/ Mt Pleasant...You get to see many dominicans there and I am very sure that they will be able to guide you in the right direction.

Also there is a Dominican Restaurant on 14th St South East if not mistaken. If still in business they usually served food around 2AM
Arroz, carne y Habichuelas....It always hit the spot after some serious dancing.

I must warn you though that this place is located in a very bad part of town.

I think the name of the place was/is called Julisa's.

Do you mean 14th street NW instead of 14th street S.E.? Because Southeast is a bad part of town, unless you have someone who knows the area well.

If you hear of one, please let me know. There are a lot of Dominicanos en Montgomery County Maryland especially in the Germantown/Gaithersburg area were I live. I have been looking for a social type club for a while. Perhaps I should stop looking and create one! If there are any 30+ (age) Dominicanos living in the Silver Spring/Rockville/Germantown/Gaithersburg area.....make your presence known. It gets pretty boring around here, and DC is sometimes a long ride away.

Gracias

Check Silver Spring MD, I believe there a large amount of Dominicans in the area. I don't know of any social club in the area?

There are two main organizations
Grupo Dominicano de Professionales en Washington, DC
(www.gdp-wash.org)
and
Grupo Cultural Dominicano.

There is also another group called Grupo de Madrugadores. It's an elderly social club started by dominicans.

For the dominican cultural group you can probably touch bases with people there through Julitos discotec at riggs and university in md.


I'm still way (and probably will be for a while) so I can't be of better assistance.

Does anyone have any contact info for the Dominican softball league in the metropolitan suburb of Maryland?

Has anyone ever played in it or gone to any of the get together?

Hola Dominicubana! I too been seeking a club-type place to sit with my compadres but haven't found any as yet.
There's a group at Manna's restaurant in Tacoma Park that gathers, especially on weekend nights, but it's too rambunctious for my taste. All they do is guzzle presidentes and argue politics.....loudly !
The moment you or anyone knows of a decent, sedated & half-civilized DR place, please let us know. I'll come running. Or, as you said, Domini; we may have to open up our own!
BTW: I live in Silver Spring & there ain't nothing here but Salvadorean clubs.
Some of them play a little merengue/bachata but mostly norteñas, ugh!

[DCKenny]

Are there Dominican clubs in the DC area?

[DominiCubana]

I know what you mean. Manna used to be a weekly trip for me, but it got a bit rough so I stopped going especially on the weekends. It's a little safer during the week days when everyone is working or still sleeping off the "Presidente". That reminds me...I'm long over due for some chicharron de pollo! Do you ever go to Divino Lounge in Bethesda? Every Friday night is Latino night. It was really nice, but I haven't been since the summer. They play a little bit of everything.
