I have been in Springfield since January 08' and I haven't met any Dominicans at all, not one! Quite frankly, I'm dying to speak the lingo (If I even remember it anymore). I just miss hanging out with happy and positive people LOL. Please reply with any hang outs you might know or events, night clubs and such. Thanks! :cool:
Best Regards,
La Domynykanyta ;)

This is an old post, but there are plenty of Dominicanos in Northern VA. Just my family alone makes a nice group. Have you met any Dominicans in Springfield yet?

There are some dominicans in a Northern Va but you will not find them in an all-dominican community like Washington Heights in NYC.

I suggest you try going to the D.C Latin Festival in the Summer if you want to meet some of them.

Presidente in Northern VA

Hi there,
You can find Presidente in Maryland (liquor stores like Tick Tock) or DC (any where around the Mt. Pleasant area - for sure at Bestway). None in VA (which is crazy because it's bottled in Reston, VA).

Are you sure?

I think the distributing company is located in Reston not the bottleling

Caribbean Dreams

There's a club in north virginia called Caribbean Dreams. Well, actually it's a restaurant. But it has a dance floor and they play salsa, bachata, merenque, and reggaeton. I'm positive I've met quite a few dominicans there.

I believe the actual area it's in is called Clarendon. It gets pretty packed on Sat nights and the music is good.

Welcome to Caribbean Breeze Restaurant ::::::::

It's actually near the Ballston Metro station (1 block past IHOP). Very nice club and the food is excellent.

Went to Hogate's last Sat. They had to open two more bars and call in extra help. It's only going to get bigger each week. Gotta love "Dominican Night" there. Sadly though, they were serving Tecate. The distributors won't split Presidente orders and they don't want to take a chance on the 30 case minimum unless everybody shows up and asks them for it. Now if we all showed up in our Presidente T-shirts....

Got any info on shipping from VA to the DR?

I will be going to the DR in March to volunteer in a small school in Cabrera and would like to ship some things as I will be staying about 6 mos. I read elsewhere on dr1 about shipping barrels from NY for a reasonable fee -$30 for the barrel and $100 for shipping with no weight restrictions. Does anyone know about a similar service from Virginia? I am in Fredericksburg so Richmond is better for me than NoVA, however, I would appreciate ANY info you can give me.

Muchas gracias.
Susan
