These days, the zone offers theaters, trendy restaurants, indie boutiques, a diverse bar scene and quirky, historic alleyways. The Lincoln and Howard theatres host a range of musical artists and are why the area is known as "Black Broadway". The dining and bar scene in Shaw sizzles, with new spots continuously opening up on 7th and 9th Streets. Over the weekend, locals wander around Blagden Alley and Naylor Court, both designated by the National Park Service as historic districts. Shaw is served by the Green and Yellow lines of the Washington Metro. Other things to note Building amenities may have an extra cost. This Blueground apartment has flexible lease options, allowing you to book it for one month, a year, or more. Pets are welcome, though weight limits and breed restrictions apply and may incur fees.
