Black History on the Pike: Past, Present & Community Lunch & Conversation

On the Pike, you’ll find the most eclectic food scene in Arlington, home to dozens of international, locally owned restaurants.

Columbia Pike’s Monthly Lunch Club introduces you to these beloved eateries while bringing neighbors, business owners, and community leaders together around the table.

This February Lunch Club honors Black History Month by highlighting Black history in Arlington and along Columbia Pike.

The program will feature a guest speaker, Peter Vaselopulos of the Arlington Historical Society, who will help guide a meaningful conversation focused people, places, and contributions.

We’ll reflect, learn, and connect over lunch at El Pike Bolivian Restobar.
Lunch Club takes place on the last Wednesday of every month and is designed to spark ideas, build relationships, and support Pike restaurants: one great meal at a time.
