Great quiet little neighborhood. Our favorite restaurant is Pork Barrel or the Sushi place next door. There are two excellent Mexican restaurants in the neighborhood as well, along with multiple cafes and bars.

I don't recommend eating here... the food isn't great. However, they do make their own beer and it's pretty good. The Happy Hour (5-7pm) has great drink specials ($2.75 for a 12 oz!)

Verizon Center is home to the Washington Capitals and Wizards. It's located in Chinatown. I'm going to be brutally honest... it's quite possibly the worst Chinatown of any city I've been too, but none the less, there are quite a few bars and restaurants in this area. I wouldn't go out of my way to go to Chinatown, but if you're in town for a concert or game, there's places to check out.
