Adams Morgan, Mount Pleasant, and Columbia Heights are three bordering neighborhoods, each with a different character, but united in an unmistakeable sense of dynamism, diversity, youth, and nightlife.
Adams Morgan is a popular dining and nightlife district north of Dupont Circle and the U St Corridor. Mount Pleasant is more of a small town in the city, with a main street with small shops, bars, and restaurants, especially Latin American food. Columbia Heights is a rapidly developing area with a large shopping mall around at the Metro stop, and a number of bars and restaurants, with new ones opening seemly every month.
