U Street
Shopping Neighborhoods, U Street corridor
Fodor's Review:
In the 1930s and '40s, U Street was known for its classy theaters and jazz clubs. After decades of decline following the 1968 riots, the neighborhood has been revitalized. Over the past two years, the area has gentrified at lightning speed, but has retained a diverse mix of multiethnic young professionals and older, working-class African-Americans. At night the neighborhood's club, bar, and restaurant scene comes alive. During the day, the street scene is more laid-back, with more locals than tourists occupying the distinctive shops. On the third Thursday of each month, the area shops stay open late to offer light refreshments and special deals for the fun "Shopper Socials."
