Competing against Georgetown for the Curbed Cup is Bloomingdale, a Northwest neighborhood known for its walkability and dozens of restaurant, bar, and retail options. One Curbed reader who nominated the neighborhood described Bloomingdale as "the place where almost everyone knows your name." According to UrbanTurf, the neighborhood was once crime-ridden, but has risen with tree-lined streets, hipsters, and Victorian row houses. Some of the most notable developments in the area include the McMillan Sand Filtration Site and Crispus Attucks Park, a community-managed and -owned greenspace. Some of the most well-known former residents include Founder of the American Federation of Labor (eventually became the AFL-CIO) Samuel Gompers and Broadway singer and dancer Chita Rivera. Eater has all the deets on the best of the best restaurants in the area.
