U Street D.C.
The area near Adams Morgan where you drink pabst, eat eritrean, hear jazz, go to Black Cat or DC9, and try not to step on rats.
U Street D.C. is best likened to city haunts in Philly, Pittsburgh, or Sacramento -- i.e. not really that hip, but maybe a good a thing because it's very hot so no one really wants to wear pants so tight.
