Around Chinatown
The small neighborhood is primarily populated by luxurious condo and apartment hi-rises that include amenities like pools and gyms. You'll find the majority of housing in Chinatown up and down the 7th Street NW corridor.
Find the area's Chinese spots, serving up dim sum and other favorites, near Chinatown's signature Friendship Archway around H and 7th Streets. Chinatown's Chinese imprint has gotten smaller, though, making way for other types of cuisines; you will also find sports bars, an Irish pub, burger restaurants, and plenty of chain restaurants.
Expect to see a lot of tourists in the neighborhood. There's also a big bustle of residents attending shows or games at the Verizon Center, seeing a show at the neighborhood's high-end multiplex, or going to happy hours and late-night haunts--especially on Friday and Saturday nights.
The neighborhood comes alive on weekends. Step out onto 7th Street, ablaze with lights, and head to happy hour or one of the area's fine-dining restaurants or fast-casual spots. Challenge your friends to a game at the neighborhood's barcade or bowling alley, or check out a newly released movie at the multiplex. There are so many things to do on the 7th Street NW corridor that 7th and F Street is often called "7th and Fun Street."
After a wild weekend, have a relaxing Sunday in Chinatown. Get some dim sum on H Street, then head to one of the area's nearby museums. The kid-friendly International Spy Museum and the National Building Museum are nearby. Ford's Theatre, where President Lincoln was assassinated, is open for tours and other programs. Go shopping at the mall on 7th Street, or catch a Wizards or Caps game at the Verizon Center.
