1409 Playbill Cafe is the brainchild of Elsayed Monsour and Jeffrey DeMontier. Founded over 10 years ago in the up and coming 14th Street corridor in NW DC, Playbill has become one of the most popular hangouts for local artists and performers. Located on the corner of 14th and P Streets NW, the unassuming exterior hardly begins to allow you to imagine the wonder inside.
