U Street Area History
As one of the most historically rich neighborhoods in Washington, U Street has long influenced the course of not only the city but the nation as well. U Street - the seat of DC urban living. Clubs, theatres and restaurants of every flavor fill the area. A short walk takes you to the city's other great neighborhoods of 14th Street, Adams Morgan and Dupont Circle. The Metro takes you even further.
Along U, up 18th, down 14th, over to Connecticut, from here you are only a walk from DC's best boutique stores, music venues, and up-and-coming restaurants. From sleek modern furnishings to vintage clothing to Americana antiques, a day is quickly whiled away strolling from shop to shop. From the rhythms of Bohemian Caverns to the headliners at 9:30 Club, from the historic comfort food of Ben's Chili Bowl to the haute cuisine of Tabaq, U Street is where the night happens. Dress up or dress down, kick back or kick it up, the night is at your doorstep. And just a few doors down sits the historic Lincoln Theatre, the centerpiece of U Street's art movement but only the beginning of what the area offers. From the galleries of Dupont Circle to The Studio Theatre just down 14th to the ultimate indie venue, The Black Cat, just blocks away, DC's artists are at home here.
While the neighborhood has undergone many changes over the decades, the artistic and intellectual spirit remains. Jazz still plays in many clubs, but so too can you hear the beats of rhythm and blues, hip hop, salsa, techno and pop. Now a vibrant multi-cultural hub, U Street continues to play a vital role in DC life. With the rich textures of the past providing the context on which the present rises, U Street remains an incredible neighborhood and a great place to live.
