An Instagramable Moment
Tucked behind Mama Ayesha’s restaurant on Calvert Street you will find what DC locals call the “city’s largest postcard”. Completed in 2009, the “postcard” is a mural, featuring eleven American presidents, starting with Dwight D. Eisenhower and ending with Barack Obama. Created by El Salvador-born artist Karla Rodas (aka Karlisima), the mural was funded by the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities and is a hidden gem in Adams Morgan.
