Along 14th Street and 11th Street, restaurants, cafés, grocery stores and shops create a lively local scene, with performance and arts venues nearby. The Columbia Heights Metro station on the Green and Yellow lines connects the area to downtown, and buses and bike routes offer additional ways to get around.
