Where are some alternative/indie or artsy hang outs in Washington, DC?

Question

I'm considering moving to the DC area, and I'm looking for fun places to visit.

Answer 1

Definitely Adams Morgan.  

Adams Morgan, located just two miles from the White House, is DC's resident funky neighborhood. The crossroads of 18th Street and Columbia Road, NW marks a vibrant center celebrated for its diversity and eccentricity.

This area boasts the largest display of expressive art in the city. As you walk the streets of this lively district, you'll delight in discovering these colorful and evocative murals.

In addition, this bustling neighborhood of international sights, sounds, and aromas, offers a multi-cultural bazaar of one-of-a-kind shopping and dining opportunities, along with wonderful examples of late-19th- and early-20th-century rowhouses and apartment buildings.

At night, Adams Morgan transforms into one of the city's hotspots for music, dancing, and bars. Madam's Organ (check out its mural) is only one local favorite with the city's young professionals.
