U Street NW, Washington, DC - a photo on Flickriver

            IMG_4203r
An important African-American cultural and nightlife hub from the 1920s through the ’40s, U Street is home to the 1922 Lincoln Theatre, where local jazz greats like Duke Ellington once performed. Rooftop bars and trendy DJ lounges add to the late-night buzz, and vibrant murals color the streets. Dining options include decades-old Ben’s Chili Bowl, quirky cafes and Little Ethiopia’s cluster of eateries.
It’s both historic and colorful, boasting some of the richest culture of the city and full of bars, restaurants, and boutiques – as well as plenty of DC locals who come to enjoy the culture and the people-watching.
A diversity of funky boutique shops abound, for clothing, decor and records; and a new bar seemingly opens up every weekend. The best way to take it all in is just taking a stroll, day or night.
