Why We’re Thankful for Our Neighborhood in NoMa
When we think about NoMa, the vibrant D.C. neighborhood we call home, we can’t help but be thankful for all it has to offer. The area itself is brimming with excitement from buzzy markets and shops to enlightened dining experiences. There’s plenty to explore right at your fingertips when you stay at The Morrow Hotel. NoMa has a reputation for being well-connected to other popular parts of the city, so there’s no better place to call your home away from home during your D.C. stay. Here are a few of the reasons we’re proud to be a part of the NoMa community.
Sophisticated Dining Experiences
No NoMa visit is complete without a meal at Le Clou. Le Clou is our modern French brasserie offering a fresh take on traditional French cuisine. Chef Nicholas Stefanelli's inventive French dishes reflect NoMa's culinary excellence, all in a refined, inviting setting. Start your stay on a high note with bottomless bubbles at Le Clou’s weekend brunch, and be sure to pair with a rich lobster benedict or classic quiche Lorraine.
If something more casual is calling your name, head Upstairs. Upstairs at The Morrow is our vibrant rooftop bar where D.C.’s social scene comes to life. Sip on a creative cocktail and stick around for a lively DJ set, all against the backdrop of a panoramic skyline view. It’s the perfect place to lose track of time and enjoy the energy of the city.
For a true taste of the neighborhood, you won’t want to miss Union Market. It started as only a food market, and it has since expanded to include shopping, dining, arts, entertainment, and year-round community events. This dynamic hub keeps our neighborhood buzzing with creative enterprise, and we’re proud to be just an eight-minute walk from this celebrated fixture of the community.
Unique Shopping Destinations
Shopkeepers is the quintessential neighborhood corner store, offering a diverse selection of local and international brands. The timeless style and versatility of their products make it a shopping haven for neighborhood explorers. This store undoubtedly enriches the NoMa experience, stocking everything from nostalgic international flavors to coffee beans from women-owned roasters.
While you’re out perusing the many items at Shopkeepers, be sure to make a stop at Shelter. This contemporary shop is dedicated to showcasing meaningful and distinctive fine jewelry. Shelter makes a point to promote underrepresented designers and feature unique pieces, so every visit is an opportunity to discover something fresh and meaningful.
Going out for a day of shopping is an excellent way to see the neighborhood on foot, but if you’re looking for another option to get some movement in, we have you covered. At The Morrow, we offer engaging Side Barre classes—a high-intensity, low-impact, and full-body workout. Reserve a spot to explore a new side of fitness.
Rich Arts and Culture
The National Postal Museum, housed in a historic 1914 post office, is a wealth of philately (stamp collecting) and U.S. Mail history. It brings cultural enrichment to NoMa, providing visitors with insights into the world of stamp collecting and postal services. It's a must-visit destination for history enthusiasts, hobby collectors, and the curious-minded.
During your stay, we recommend catching a show at Songbyrd for a taste of the local music scene. Songbyrd Music House is a live music venue, bar, and restaurant that infuses NoMa with live performances and culinary experiences. Whether you're a music aficionado or simply seeking an evening of entertainment, Songbyrd is the place to be.
At The Morrow, we’re beyond grateful for our neighborhood, NoMa, a beacon of vibrant optimism in our nation’s capital.
