It is north of Van Ness/ UDC and south of Chevy Chase Circle. You can click on the map above to get detailed directions from Google.

By Metro: Take the Red Line to Van Ness. We are one mile north on Connecticut (a 15 minute walk). You can also take and L1 or L2 bus from the Metro stop.

From Arlington, VA Route 50 East or 66 East: Take Constitution Ave. to 18th Street and make a left at 18th. Stay straight through downtown then veer left onto Connecticut Ave. Take Connecticut North, past Van Ness/UDC. Politics and Prose is on the right just past Fessenden.

From Dulles Airport: Take the Dulles Toll Road to 495 towards Baltimore. Exit at Connecticut Avenue South. Go about five miles south on Connecticut. Politics and Prose is just south of Nebraska on the left-hand side.

From Washington National Airport: Follow Route 1 to the 14th Street Bridge. Take 14th Street to K Street. Take a left at K Street. Take K to Connecticut Avenue. Go North (right from K) on Connecticut - past Van Ness/UDC. We are just past Fessenden on the right.

D.C. Navigational Tip: Streets in DC are organized alphabetically and syllabically (one syllable names first, etc.)

Parking: We have a parking lot in the rear of the store. If you are driving north on Connecticut, turn right at Fessenden Street then make an immediate left. The entrance to the lot is just before you enter the woods, on the left. If you are driving south on Connecticut you will pass the store on your left after you cross Nebraska Avenue. Make a left turn at Fessenden. There is also street parking.

The parking lot fills up quickly for our evening author talks. After speaking with a representative of the DC Police Department, we were told that parking on 36th Street behind the store (past Garrison) is available on both sides of the road until the road narrows. You may also park in the nearby neighborhoods for two hours where posted. However, our neighbors ask that you do not block or park in their driveways.

Accessibility: Politics & Prose is situated on two floors. Stairs provide quick passage between the floors; an elevator is available for those who need it as well.
