Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Guest Host: Marc Fisher
Customers wait outside restaurants on 14th Street in Washington, D.C., one of the city's emerging restaurant hubs.
Clusters of restaurants throughout the District are emblematic of the massive neighborhood transformation taking place over the past few decades. Neighborhoods once riddled with crime now boast restaurants where a single cocktail can cost as much as a meal — and pricier corners of the city are less and less affordable for even high-end eateries. We explore the state of D.C.’s neighborhoods through the rise and fall of its restaurants.
