Capitol Hill

The people who live and work on "the Hill" do so in the shadow of the edifice that lends the neighborhood its name: the gleaming white Capitol. This is where political deals and decisions are made. Lining the streets behind these venerable buildings are some of the bars and pubs where off-duty senators, congresspersons, and lobbyists do some of their business. Beyond these grand buildings lies a vibrant and diverse group of neighborhoods with charming residential blocks lined with Victorian row houses and a fine assortment of restaurants, bars, and shops, not to mention D.C.'s favorite market and newest sporting attraction.
