H Street cleans up in City Paper Best of 2011: Best Neighborhood & much more

Best Up and Coming Neighborhood

Best Neighborhood Phoenix: The Argonaut ("Since the latest iteration of the Argonaut opened in January, some loyalists have lamented the new place isn’t as “divey” as the Argonaut of yesteryear. That may be so. But it would be silly for the bar to not evolve and improve as the rest of the H Street corridor reshapes itself. The Argonaut is the face of a changing neighborhood. And the fish tacos are still fantastic.")
