Brookland An Afternoon in

to do

When you’re craving a fun afternoon of neighborhood exploring but don’t want to stray from the city, head to Brookland.

Filled with historic churches, art galleries, and local restaurants, Brookland is our go-to for a casual day trip in DC. Here are our must-see spots in this charming neighborhood.

Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception 400 Michigan Ave NE, 20017

Regardless of your spirituality, the National Shrine is worth a visit for the stunning architecture and artistry. This church offers a taste of Europe with a beautiful neo-Byzantine style, and the world’s largest collection of contemporary ecclesiastical art.

Monroe Street Market Arts Walk 625 Monroe St NE, 20017

Home to 27 artist studios and a charming pedestrian walkway, the Monroe Street Market Arts Walk is a great way to learn more about local artisans and the burgeoning creative scene in DC. If you’re feeling inspired, sign up for a class or workshop and build your artistic repertoire.

Franciscan Monastery 1400 Quincy St NE, 20017

If the National Shrine sparked your interest in ecclesiastical artistry, the Franciscan Monastery is a perfect follow-up destination. Free daily tours are offered for you to enjoy the Byzantine-style church, catacombs, lush gardens, and more.

Metropolitan Branch Trail Brookland Metro Station

If you’re craving an active way to enjoy the first signs of spring, hit the MBT, a hike-and-bike trail running from Union Station through neighborhoods in Northeast DC including Brookland, Eckington, Edgewood, and NoMa.

Dance Place

3225 8th St NE, 20017 If you prefer performance to painting, stop by Dance Place for the best dancing performances in the city. These groundbreaking events feature artists both local and national, and styles ranging from jazz to salsa. If you want in on the action, sign up for a beginner dance class in the style of your choosing.

716 Monroe St NE, 20017 When 5 o’clock hits and you’re craving craft beer, head to Brookland Pint.

Reclaimed wood tables and local artists’ latest works on display add to the charm. Bonus points given for featuring a dog-friendly patio and free-for-use USB ports.

Menomale

2711 12th St NE, 20018 When the inevitable pizza craving hits, stop by Menomale for fantastic Neopolitan pies. The custom-built wood-fired oven imported from Italy adds authenticity that’s not easily forgotten. Our go-to? Di Ettore pizza with prosciutto, arugula, and cherry tomatoes.

to eat

Brookland Pint

Steel Plate

3523 12th St NE, 20017 Stop by Steel Plate for killer cocktails, an extensive beer list, and amazing apps. If you’re in the neighborhood on a chilly day, Porkbelly Mac is definitely the way to go for keeping cozy.

Dew Drop Inn 2801 8th St NE, 20017

This bar is funky, retro, fun, and all things Brookland. The Dew Drop Inn features no TVs, wanting the focus to be on community and music, and of course, the neighborhood. This is a local hotspot, so step inside for the authentic Brookland vibe.

Right Proper Brewing Company + Production House 920 Girard St NE, 20017

Not only will you enjoy a killer selection of beers, but you can tour the brewery itself for a more hands-on experience. For the time being, there’s no food available for purchase, but this establishment is fine with you bringing your own for enjoyment with their brews.

QUADRANT CULTURE In one word: Rising In the last few years, the rest of DC has watched as Southeast has risen from crime and lower home values to becoming a collection of bustling neighborhoods with a skyrocketing real estate market. Southeast is enjoying dozens of new developments and a commercial boom, while locals are working hard to maintain the classic charm (a win-win for us). Anacostia River is being beautified to provide charming parks and rec areas for families, so now is the perfect time to settle into Southeast.

Beautifully Restored

this log home was originally built circa 1780-1810 and expanded upon in 2004. This private retreat spans more than 30 pristine acres while the property borders a 9,000 acre Nature Conservancy and the George Washington National Forest. Repositioned from one end of Bath County to its current location atop Warm Springs Mountain, this structure also underwent an extensive restoration. Since completed, the home retained its original limestone foundation, hanhewn logs, ceiling beams and stone chimney. Just a short drive away is the Village of Hot Springs and the Omni Homestead Resort which offers yearound activities at your doorstep.
