Adams Morgan is a multicultural neighborhood centered on the happening nightlife scene around 18th Street. Brick row houses, some brightly painted or featuring quirky murals, are home to independent bookstores, artisan cafes, vintage clothing shops and yoga studios.

Adams Morgan has great restaurants, music venues, and dining experiences. Tail Up Goat right off of Calvert Street on Adams Mill Road is a delicious modern Mediterranean-inspired neighborhood restaurant with creative and memorable cocktails (and a Michelin Star). Johnny's Half Shelf was a Capitol Hill classic that recently moved onto Columbia Road. My favorite restaurant is Mintwood Place, also on Columbia Road. It has a fresh farmhouse/French/American menu with a burger and brownie sundae that can't be beat. Their weekday Happy Hour is fantastic. In the summer, the roof deck at Perry's or Jack Rose (further down 18th Street) are great spots too. No matter what you like to eat Adams Morgan has it.

If you are looking for a chill coffee house, Tryst is your place. Lots of grad students and people working remotely hang out and enjoy the wi-fi and couches. Rise Bakery is a morning go-to for Gluten-Free bagel, croissants, and treats that won't make you miss the gluten. There is also a Starbucks at the corner of 18th and Columbia if that's your addiction.

Adams Morgan's reputation a decade ago for mostly for its nightlife but it is more family-friendly than many realize. A fabulous park is at the top of the street with all new playground equipment. In the summer the park is full with picnickers hanging out and enjoying the day.
