Washington City Paper’s 2009 “Best Of DC” is out and there’s a new category: Best Obama Mural on the Outside of a Restaurant.”
The D.C. Commission on the Arts and Humanities funded the project; its concept was largely set by Mama Ayesha’s family members, who still run the restaurant she opened in 1960 (then known as the Calvert Café). Mama herself is on the wall, curiously flanked by Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan in a lineup that includes presidents 34 through 44—that last one painted in a jaunty pose with a winning smile.
Of course there’s the usual categories of each cuisine you can think of scattered throughout DC.
