District ChopHouse and Brewery
Washington, D.C.
When the MCI arena opened some two years ago, there was great anticipation of an economic turnaround for the long neglected area of the city in which it sits. Although vacant buildings and empty storefronts remain plentiful, and the planned giant retail complex is but a picture on a billboard, there is promise. One sign of that promise is the arrival of Michael Jordan. Another is the District ChopHouse and Brewery, which, since 1998, has become a friendly, reliable, and even somewhat creative eating and drinking establishment.
