Shaw, nestled within the central-north region of The District, is an eat-drink-shop paradise heavily influenced by the vivacious Afro-culture that has existed since the late 19th century as the pre-Harlem center of African American intellectual and cultural life. Betwixt the familiar monumental relics and the classically frequented Washington D.C. avenues breathes an energetic, youthful, and engaging public populated primarily by a young working-class crowd and the students of prestigious Howard University. Come explore and experience a true sense of community amidst the streets of DC's most spirited neighborhood!
