Around Bloomingdale
Take your pick from any of the beautiful, historic, colored row houses that line the streets in this quaint and quiet neighborhood. Many local pubs and eateries have popped up in the last few years and continue to open regularly. This is also a great neighborhood for running, walking the dog, or grabbing a quick drink after an evening stroll. There aren't many high-rises in the neighborhood, but you can find the occasional condo if the timing is right.
This area offers a fair share of longstanding neighborhood gems and newer, upscale pubs with dimly lit décor and open patios perfect for dinner in the summer. Expect to find great coffee at some of the small cafes and lots of terrific happy hour deals ranging from Mexican food and margaritas to Italian nibbles and wine by the glass. There's no shortage of pubs with upscale burgers, wings, quesadillas, to more delicate dishes like risotto, handmade pastas, pork chops, and fried chicken dishes. The restaurants in this neighborhood are known for being low maintenance, affordable, and good for big groups, meaning there's something for everyone.
You can expect to see groups of friends and families enjoying dinner outside on the patio at one of the several pubs — nothing too loud or crazy — but you'll often see colleagues enjoying a happy hour. People often run in this area for the quiet streets and lack of major traffic. You can expect to see residents taking a walk after dinner to enjoy the sights and peruse the latest restaurants slated to open.
Grab your friends and head to happy hour at one of the many upscale pubs in the neighborhood. Bargain margaritas are common in this area and many boast a full cocktail menu sure to impress out-of-towners. Head next door or around the corner for a delicious dinner at a local eatery--there are Italian gems that earn praise from chefs all over the city and quieter, more affordable upscale bar options with full menus with everything from burgers with a creative twist to mac and cheese. Head over to Rhode Island Avenue to visit an improv theater to end your night with some laughs or stop by the dive bars with juke boxes.
Wake up with a jolt of energy at the neighborhood yoga studio or go for a scenic run beneath the trees along the reservoir. Stop by one of the cafes afterward for coffee and pastries and sit outside on the patio with the newspaper, catching up on the news after a long week. Grab lunch at one of the ethnic restaurants or pubs on North Capitol Street and watch the busy passersby. Take a walk along North Capitol up to Rhode Island and get a haircut at one of the longstanding neighborhood salons or barbershops and embrace the history. Shop for dinner at one of the smaller local markets to make a nice homemade meal.
