Adams Morgan (sometimes locally called AdMo) is a neighborhood in Washington, D.C., located in Northwest D.C. Adams Morgan is noted as a historic hub for counterculture and as an arts district.[1][2] It is also known for its popular entertainment district and culinary scene, centered on both 18th Street and Columbia Road.[3]
In the 21st century, Adams Morgan has been a focus of urban redevelopment and become one of Washington's most gentrifying neighborhoods.[4][5][6] Notable local businesses include the famed live music club Madam's Organ Blues Bar and the Michelin-starred restaurant Tail Up Goat, among others. Adams Morgan has also become one of the hubs of LGBT culture in Washington, D.C.[7]
