"A Beloved Neighborhood Bookstore A D.C. fixture since it opened in 1984, Politics and Prose is an independent bookstore popular for its knowledgeable staff, author readings and book signings, occasional trivia nights, and a café that's been serving organic fare since before it was cool. There's a book club meeting space and a children's reading area downstairs. This local institution is slightly off the beaten path, but it's well worth a visit—and you could end up spending the afternoon."
