A whole street of new restaurants and little bars, you'll find something to keep you entertained. And it's just steps from both U-Street and City Center so you have a great central starting location. BE SURE TO WALK THROUGH BLAGDEN ALLEY!

This place is a bar and restaurant that turns into a mini nightclub, with live DJs on the weekends, a beautiful downstairs restaurant space and an unbelievable outdoor patio that can be covered with a convertible roof when the weather turns. And it's located at the intersection of 14th and U Streets NW, so it's in the heart of the main bar district in DC!

You can hit the White House, Washington Monument, Lincoln and Jefferson Memorials, MLK Memorial, Capitol Building and lots of Museums (Air and Space, Natural History, American History, Holocaust, Hirshhorne, and the new African American Museum.
