Adams Morgan is named for DC’s first segregated schools, the all-black Thomas P. Morgan Elementary School and the all-white John Quincy Adams Elementary School.

Long home to immigrant communities from Africa, Asia, South and Central America, Adams Morgan is a global village in the heart of the city where restaurants serve cuisine from all around the world. You can catch live music most nights of the week throughout the neighborhood and find cheap eats or white tablecloth restaurants for all palates and pocketbooks. There are also many locally owned shopping gems with unique clothing, jewelry, art, furniture and household goods.

Adams Morgan is a culturally diverse neighborhood in Northwest Washington, centered at the intersection of 18th Street and Columbia Road. Adams Morgan is considered the center of Washington's Hispanic immigrant community, and is a major night life area with many bars and restaurants, particularly along 18th Street (the primary commercial district) and Columbia Road. Much of the neighborhood is composed of 19th- and early 20th-century row houses and apartment buildings.
