Explore the U Street “Black Broadway” who was once truly the heart of Black culture in America, attracting locals and visitors for an unparalleled music and nightlife scene. It’s also the birthplace of celebrated DC hero, jazz musician Duke Ellington. Until the 1920s, the U Street Corridor was home to the nation's largest urban African-American community, this section of the city is as vibrant as ever, anchored by the lively 14th Street corridor to the west and the refurbished Howard Theatre bordering the Shaw neighborhood to the east, where a towering sculpture in reverence to Ellington stands.

Food is eclectic and exciting. One of the best ways to experience food from soul food to Italian to the world-famous Ben’s Chili Bowl and uniquely, on the eastern end, you’ll the area known as “Little Ethiopia” for its concentration of residents from that country.
