Columbia Heights
The Metro disgorges you under the DCUSA sign at 14th and Irving, which is either an asset or an indictment depending on your mood. Date here for the neighborhood underneath: pupusas at El Chucho, the Tivoli's old bones holding up GALA Hispanic Theatre, Meridian Hill drum circle on Sunday afternoons when you both want a third thing to look at. The tradeoff is real: the blocks above Irving thin out fast after dark, and the Target-and-Best-Buy stretch will never be charming. You are here for the rent and the food, not the postcard.
