West End

Score Breakdown

About this Neighborhood

The West End was the far edge of the original L'Enfant Plan for Washington, and today it's one of the district's densest dining grounds — 144 restaurants, 34 coffee shops and a Walk Score of 97. Embassies of Spain and Qatar sit nearby, along with George Washington University on its edge, giving the area a diplomatic, institutional weight. The Foursquare regulars favor American restaurants, hotel bars, cafés and lounges — a polished, business-district register. Nine groceries and ten fitness spots keep residents supplied between Rock Creek Park to the west and K Street to the south.
