FHC contributor David Bardin took a walk one day in October 2013. And it resulted in a comprehensive list of restaurants and other eateries along the Van Ness/Forest Hills stretch of Connecticut Avenue.
The list below is organized not alphabetically, but geographically. More specifically, it’s the route David took when he compiled it for us. He started on the west side of Connecticut Avenue on Van Ness Street, walked north to Nebraska, and looped back to Van Ness down the east side.
We try to keep this list up to date as new restaurants open and existing restaurants close. So please peruse the culinary options below, and let us know in the comments if you have any additions or corrections.
