Neighborhoods- U St Corridor

Our new condo development at 2108 10th St NW is in the U St Corridor neighborhood, which is one of the most vibrant areas in DC. The area was devastated in the riots in the late 1960's, but has seen a huge amount of new development in the last decade. Although the area has lot of shopping, the food in the neighborhood is incredible! Here are some of the best bets for eating on and around U St NW.

1. Chix (2019 11th St NW)

Chix is a small rotisserie chicken restaurant with organic, healthy chicken and sides. I especially enjoy the roasted sweet potatoes, which you can see in the picture above. They have a few tables upstairs but they primarily do a lot of carry-out.

2. The Greek Spot (2017 11th St NW)

The Greek spot is a tiny carry-out restaurant directly next to Chix. It only has two tables outside, so you're probably going to want to take the food home with you and eat it there. They have highly authentic greek food that is very reasonably priced. Our HVAC installer- Gus- is Greek and swears by this place.

3. Marvin (2007 14th St NW)

The roof deck at Marvin is the one of the best places in DC to get a drink in the summer. Downstairs, I'd recommend getting the chicken and waffles or the steak frites.

4. Vinoteca (1940 11th St NW)

Vinoteca is a solid wine bar that serves a large menu of tasty tapas dishes. It's a great place to go before a big dinner or for happy hour. However, the reason I like coming here is the for the rear patio with it's own bocce court. There are only 3-4 courts in the entire city, and this is the only one next to an amazing outdoor bar.
