Many of us get into a rut when it comes to going out. We all have our favorite brunch spot, Happy Hour spot, restaurant (casual and fancy), and club, usually all in the same neighborhood.
But if none of those are located on H Street, a ten-block stretch of Northeast DC, you are going to have to re-think your list. H Street has so much to offer and so much variety that you’ll be singing its praises in no time.
Eats & Treats on H Street
If you’re an early riser, you’ll want to check out Bullfrog Bagels. This artisan bagel shop features not only incredible bagels but the best meats and toppings to go along with them. With an extensive catering menu, they’re the place to go next time it’s your turn to do Friday breakfast at the office.
And after you’ve grabbed a bagel, it will be time for the H Street Fresh Farm Market. This mid-April to mid-December Saturday morning market will start your weekend right, with everything from great produce and dairy to beautiful fresh flowers.
Are you looking for a casual dining spot for lunch? One of the best, if you’re not already obsessed with it, is Nando’s. Roll up your sleeves and get ready to drown in the sauce of your choice and that excellent, juicy chicken.
Of course, if you are at the other end of the spectrum and living the vegan life, your new obsession will be Fare Well. With a focus on veggie-centric comfort foods, baked goods, and cocktails, this may be your new favorite, even if you’re a carnivore.
The gastropub scene is big here, with Haymaker and Granville Moore’s both on this stretch. So many great places in just a mile and half will give you FoMO for sure, but don’t worry, you can come back again and again.
If you love international food, H Street provides an embarrassment of riches!
The Ethiopian food scene has shifted out of DC toward Alexandria in many cases. Still, Ethiopic is a standout with a cool space and great choices no matter what your food preferences.
Fun After the Sun Goes Down
If it’s nightlife you are looking for, H Street has a massive variety of options. But this is not your typical boring bar scene. For new and avant-garde performances, Atlas Performing Arts Center will broaden your artistic horizons.
Their Intersections Festival is a happening in the most real sense, and they spend all year bringing theatre, music, and arts to life for all ages and tastes.
At the other end of the entertainment, the spectrum is the H Street Country Club. Roof deck, mini golf, skeeball, and shuffleboard for you and your friends to relax, unwind, and, most of all, Play!
