Top 6 Neighborhoods in National Mall, District of Columbia (DC)
Washington DC is a hub for American politics and history. Attracting as many school field trips as it does travelers the district offers a peek into the country’s democratic origin. There are plenty of free museums to take advantage of but the real draw here is the memorials and monuments dedicated to great American leaders. Spend some contemplative time at the Reflecting Pool within the National Mall, among the most patriotic places in the country.

At the east end of The Mall, the Hill is home to the U.S. Capitol.

Capitol Hill building is a really amazing and beautiful building that makes for great photos esp. since it is in the area of other interesting buildings like Library of Congress and Supreme court. We were even able to book a free guided tour online on their website which made for interesting American history. But the tour sometimes can get sold out - so do make sure to book in advance. Also there is heavy security at the area so if you do book a tour - read if they will allow food or water inside.

Reviewed By CMelam - Bend, United States
We really enjoyed walking through this neighborhood on a couple of occasions during our visit to D.C. The variety of cuisine here is fantastic; Ethiopian, Italian, Mexican, Indian, Thai... You'll also find unique shops and lots of activity. This area seems to be the happening place and is very convenient to the more conservative downtown.

5. U Street
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 76 reviews
The U Street Corridor is home to some of DC's iconic foods. Ben's Chili Bowl, home of the half-smoke, is there plus an area referred to by some as "Little Ethiopia" due to the large number of Ethiopian restaurants.
