Brookland’s Best
![]() |

There are many hot areas in Washington. Yes, Georgetown is great, The Hill is heaven, Columbia Heights is cool and Adams Morgan is absolutely magnificent, but let me introduce you to Brookland –and once you visit you’re sure to be a believer.
Here’s something you might not know and I’ll probably regret telling you but acres of sumptuous gardens are open to the public on the grounds of the Franciscan Monastery (http://www.myfranciscan.org/).
Yes, in Brookland!
That’s not all, an organic grocery store, day spa and coffee shop are just some of the attractions in this growing area.
