"Situated in Northwest DC and bounded by North Capitol Street to the east and Florida Avenue to the south, Bloomingdale is a designated historic district, marked by an abundance of Victorian rowhouses. Just to its east sits Eckington, which in the 19th century served as a private estate to former DC mayor Joseph Gales, who named it after his birthplace in England."
"A decade ago, then-butcher Hai Le tried a particularly delicious bowl of Vietnamese noodle soup during a trip to California. Since then, he's been pho-obsessed: He's spent years perfecting his recipe and even started his own pho meal-kit business during the pandemic. Now you can taste the fruits of his labor at PhoXotic (103 Rhode Island Ave., NW) in Bloomingdale, which he opened with his girlfriend, Gia Le, in July."
"O'Kabul joined Bloomingdale's fast-casual dining scene last summer. The generous menu is packed with Turkish mainstays-think lamb and beef kebab smothered with spicy tomato sauce and yogurt; feta-and-parsley-stuffed phyllo pastry; and plenty of doner options to choose from. For dessert, choose from baklava, caramelized baked rice pudding, or knafeh-layers of shredded phyllo and sweet cheese drizzled with syrup. Right Proper Brewing Company Husband-and-wife team Leah and Thor Cheston opened"
Bloomingdale and Eckington are Northwest DC neighborhoods characterized by historic Victorian rowhouses and 19th-century estate roots. Eckington originated as Joseph Gales's private estate named after his English birthplace. Both neighborhoods combine preserved architecture with an influx of new restaurants, shops, and longtime local businesses. PhoXotic, opened by Hai Le and Gia Le, serves bone marrow–topped pho made from 24-hour beef broth, thick-cut noodles, and halal beef, plus egg rolls fried in beef tallow or avocado oil and plum soda. O'Kabul offers Turkish kebabs, phyllo pastries, doner options, and desserts like baklava and knafeh. Right Proper Brewing began in Shaw and expanded to serve the local community.
