The 14th Street Corridor and U Street are real hotspots right now! Check out all of these great upcoming places and recently renovated areas!


Black and Orange
Black and Orange, a burger joint on 14th Street, just opened a few days ago! 
Their burger menu works with a "pink" or "no pink" order system- for how raw or well done you want your burger. 
Check out their website here

This Gastropub will be adding a roof top bar and renovating the interior of this building on the corner of 9th and U street. 
The building that The Brixton will be going in to has been vacant for over 20 years, and had to be approved by Historic Preservation Review Board before approval for renovations.
