Description
Coined as "Our Nation's Neighborhood," Capitol Hill is located east of the Mall and is home to wonderful restaurants, unique shops, and DC's artist community. Make sure to try and visit Capitol Hill on the second Saturday of every month as the cafes, galleries, and most shops open their arms (and their doors) to the public to offer drinks, music, and recitals. If you want to take a detour off the tourist beaten path, come visit Capitol Hill.
