Bloomingdale is one of the most beautiful neighborhoods in the city. Neighbor owned and operated cafes, restaurants, an original pizzeria, bar, two authentic pubs, and more means you can enjoy some downtime together without the downtown crowds!
Turkish, Thai, Vietnamese Pho, and now a new Indian restaurant opened at the end of the block in 2025!
Think, a neighborhood full of lazy nights at outdoor seating spaces on warm spring and summer nights. But book ahead for the Red Hen, demand is high for this recently won Michelin Guide rated-restaurant.
Howard University Hospital is within walking distance for low-cost dentistry, general and special medical visits. Nearby Dunbar High School indoor swimming pool is open for free to D.C. residents mornings, evening and weekends as well as the new (2024) indoor pool at Reservoir Recreation Center.

About
Bloomingdale
Bloomingdale, located between Shaw and Eckington, is a residential and historic Washington neighborhood with brick rowhouses and pocket parks. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Big Bear Cafe corner on 1st Street NW, where patio tables, coffee chatter, and small-plate dining set an unhurried tone. Victorian-era facades and deep front porches line side streets, while the Florida Avenue edge carries a steadier city pulse. Big Bear Cafe, Boundary Stone, and The Red Hen act as local pillars for dining and gathering. Crispus Attucks Park and the nearby McMillan Reservoir grounds add open sky and walking loops. Metro access comes via Shaw–Howard University and NoMa–Gallaudet U stations.
