About U Street Northwest
An important African-American cultural and nightlife hub from the 1920s through the '40s, U Street is home to the 1922 Lincoln Theatre, where local jazz greats like Duke Ellington once performed. Rooftop bars and trendy DJ lounges add to the late-night buzz, and vibrant murals color the streets. Dining options include decades-old Ben's Chili Bowl, quirky cafes and Little Ethiopia's cluster of eateries.
