U Street Corridor

Getting Here

The Green Line Metro stops at 13th and U, in the middle of the main business district. To get to the African-American Civil War Memorial, get out at the 10th Street exit. Parking can be found on the residential streets north and south of U Street, but as the area gets more popular, spots are getting harder to find on weekend nights.

The area is within walking distance from Dupont Circle and Adams Morgan, but at night you're better off on the bus or in a cab, especially if you're alone. The 90, 92, and 98 buses travel from Woodley Park through Adams Morgan to 14th and U, while the 52 and 54 buses travel north from several Downtown Metro stops up 14th Street.
