Adams Morgan

Great Experiences in Adams Morgan

Eat ethnic food: Adams Morgan rivals U Street with its plentiful and delicious Ethiopian restaurants. If you'd rather dine using utensils, you can choose among Japanese, Brazilian, Mexican, Indian, and other ethnic cuisines.

Hang out like a local: The residents of Adams Morgan make an art of relaxing. Follow their lead and settle into one of Tryst's overstuffed armchairs with a laptop or a copy of the New Republic and a coffee, or kill hours browsing the "rare and medium-rare" selections at Idle Time Books.

Stay out all night: If you want to party on until the break of dawn, this is the place to do it. Don't miss the live music at Madam's Organ, the salsa dancing at Habana Village, and the cool kids making the scene at the Leftbank.

Move to the beat: Sunday afternoon and evening in Meridian Hill Park, drummers from all walks of life form the Drum Circle, bashing out the beats while some dance and others simply sit back and watch.
