The bounty of Italian cuisine in The D is as diverse as Italy itself. Whether you're looking for culinary traditions hailing from Italy's Anglo-Saxon-inspired northern regions, the bright flavors of Tuscany, the rich tastes of Rome, the Mediterranean fusion of Sicily or Americanized versions of Italian staples, outstanding examples of them all abound throughout the area.
To some, city tours might conjure up images of buses crammed with fanny-packed rubberneckers. But in The D, where urban decay is being buffed away by innovation and opportunity, there's so much more to see beyond the bus window. And buses aren't the only way to see and learn more about the area. There are multiple opportunities to experience the city with your own individualized twist.
The D has been designated the first authenticated African American Heritage Destination in the world by the Travel Professionals of Color. This organization promotes training, networking and support of minority travel professionals. It's little surprise, given the area's rich and thriving African-American culture.
