DC: Hotspot for Restaurants

For reasons unknown to myself and me being a native Washingtonian; DC is slowly becoming a hotspot for restaurants in the Eastern Market and Capitol Hill neighborhoods inside of the city. Their has been a very large influx in the number of food businesses that has opened in the District in the last few years. Capitol Hill is increasingly becoming a more residential neighborhood as congress continues to grow and flourish in the District. It may be due to the gentrification that the city is undergoing or just a random influx in restaurant entrepreneurs in the area. Many of the restaurant owners are famous and well established Chef's that have partnerships and owned restaurant franchises. The businesses have been flourishing the few past years down on the Hill. People in the neighborhoods are attracted to the family friendly businesses and many of the prestigious owners specifically tailored their businesses to their liking and not to their competitors standards. Unfortunately, many of these businesses are not located in predominately minority neighborhoods, therefore depriving certain classes of people in the district from the experience. Tisk, tisk!
