My son and his wife used to rent a house on Capitol Hill, but now have bought a house in a neighborhood further east. They have taken us to so many things in this video. I love checking out the vendors in Eastern Market and we often go to the restaurants nearby. Also, we saw a play at the Folger Shakespeare Library and it was excellent!
I lived here 25 years. I've been to Ted's and JimmyTs Jimmy's has an old menu posted on the wall with 1950s prices. Also, Mr. Henry's is an historic jazz club that featured famous performers from the jazz age. And finally, The Folger Library sits where a funeral home once sat. A lady named Mary Z. Gray grew up in the house where her family ran the funeral home. She wrote a book about her life experiences growing up in the 1800-1900s.
I will watch all the neighborhood videos. A guide to the not so touristy ones is welcome, but I understand if they don't make sense for you. I like when maps are included that show where the stuff you talk about actually is
This makes me excited. We booked a row house airbnb within the boundary near Stanton Park. I wasn’t really sure where to stay but just liked that it was close to union station. Now I’m looking forward to just walking around there too. 😁
Have you tried the restaurant Silver Diner is also in Washington DC but I don't know what is the area. Has old style classic 80s and 90s is Ray healthy food and I very recommended. I have also tried in Silver Dollar in my local area in Virginia East Coast best service.
Just watched this and your Georgetown video. I'd love to see you cover a less touristy neighborhood. Takoma (DC and Takoma Park on the MD side) has a lot of cool festivals and restaurants. Just a suggestion!
I have been binging your videos and have learned so much! Question I haven’t been able to find an answer to. What’s the best way to follow the DC circulator bus? Do these show up on google maps or any of the apps? Thank you!
There was the Firehook Bakery on Capitol Hill, but unfortunately, it closed down permanently due to the pandemic. Many of the people that visited Facebook worked at the Library of Congres and so they lost customers when the Library closed
I do know there’s a really good Mexican restaurant pretty much right across the street from the capita but I have no idea what the name is. District Taco is great but not what I’m talking about
A shame you hadn’t filmed this video before August Rob, looks like a lot of things we missed out on and we didn’t even stay in the Capitol Hill area by the looks of it 🤣
I don’t think many people outside of DC know that Capitol Hill is an actual neighborhood. They’re just referring to the actual Capitol Hill. I went there on my trip because I wanted to visit North Carolina Ave., because that is my state. Definitely not that touristy.
Teds bulletin is great, so great in fact they were a large reason why we are going back to DC! 😂
Thanks for this. I am thinking of moving to Capitol Hill and this video was very helpful.
Good luck with the move.

Wow, cool! Folger Shakespeare was a great place to see live theater and hopefully will be again soon!
Ate at petes dinner near the Capitol building it was very nice
Nice!
Capitol hill is beautiful. I recommend all visitors to walk through the neighborhood
Since I live in the DMV, Eastern Market is one of my favorites.
Thank you so much for this information
You're welcome!

Mr. Henry's is a good one!
In 2015 I had lunch at the Capitolio congress restaurant and found the price and food to be very good!

Call Your Mother is another delicious breakfast option!

Bistro Cacao is a nice cozy French restaurant, perfect for date night.
we will be staying in Capitol hill in March... looking forward to the trip!
Have fun!

Go to the Circulator website on your phone, then BusTime then Real-Time Map. The interface is clunky but it mostly works.
Thanks Rob, last trip I didnt even know there are places to go to beyond The Capitol. Next trip, i will definitely check it out.
Thanks a lot
Awesome, now you know!
What is the best app when using the Circulator bus? The app that you mentioned on your old video/s are no longer available.
Great video! I’ll be traveling to DC next week, and I was wondering if you have any advice for a woman traveling around the city alone?
I saw you at the Korean War memorial on the morning of october 16
Baseball stadium area please

I think that just means you need to come back!
@@TripHacksDC funny you should say that 😉
The Capitol Hill Hotel is down the street from the Library of Congress
