The walkable neighborhood is adjacent to popular Penn Quarter and most locals consider the two areas some of the best bets for meeting up with friends for happy hour or dinner.
Fashionistas will find themselves in retails heaven at CityCenterDC. The destination lets you create a movie montage shopping spree fantasy with label after label lining the airy avenues.
