For brunch or an intimate gathering, Cynthia Bar and Bistro and Lydia’s on H offer heartwarming meals made for family celebrations. Craving bold Caribbean flavors? Cane delivers a festive flair worthy of the occasion.

Celebrate with a slice of something sweet. Tango Pastry crafts European-style treats with flair, while Insomnia Cookies is perfect for a box of gooey goodness. Dolcezza Gelato and Coffee serves up celebratory scoops of artisan gelato, and Baker’s Lounge can whip up a custom cake for the big day.
Picture-Perfect H Street: Grad Photo Spots
Don’t miss your chance to snap that perfect cap-and-gown pic. Pose beneath the colorful mural in the alley between Henceforth and Atlas Performing Arts Center. Catch the H Street streetcar as it whizzes by for a dynamic background shot. And of course, stroll past H Street’s iconic architecture for timeless photos you’ll treasure forever.
