Some artists exist within the realms of our collective consciousness with a more low-key profile than others. They ply their trade with minimal fuss and for its original purpose - to entertain whilst enlightening. Unfortunately for us, their low-key status means we are not fully exposed to their genius. One such genius is DC native Jeffrey Wright. Mr. Wright is quite possibly the most underrated and underexposed actor of his caliber and generation; Jeffrey Wright's undeniable talent and ability to successfully bring to life any role he undertakes is on a par with the most praised and revered A-list actors in the business.

DCpic1 Though known mostly for its political ties, Washington D.C. is a city filled with arts, culture and fashion. For first time visitors, seeing the well known national sites can give you a sense of the city’s history, but it won’t necessarily give you a taste of the city’s flavour. For that, you have to venture to some of the eclectic neighbourhoods where DC’s diverse populations come together. In order to give a feel for what there is to do, see, eat and experience in DC, this mini guide is going to take you through the individual areas that make DC a truly great city. Most of the locations listed below are within walking distance so this could be done as a walking tour. Divided into categories of “Food” “Nightlife” “Shopping” and “Arts/Culture”, this guide should help you find the right places and spaces to make your “local” DC experience genuine and exciting.

But even if the name is not on your iPod, the acts whom he's worked with - Jazmine Sullivan, Raheem DeVaughn, Wayna and Kev Brown to name a few - have surely taken up space on your playlist. However, in 2009, his name will surely be added to your list as well.
