New Hampshire Avenue

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

New Hampshire Avenue is a diagonal street in Washington, D.C., beginning at the Kennedy Center and extending northeast for about 5 miles (8 km) and then continuing into Maryland where it is designated Maryland Route 650. New Hampshire Avenue, however, is not contiguous. It stops at 16th and U Streets NW and resumes again on the other side of Columbia Heights at Park Road NW, a few blocks from Georgia Avenue.

New Hampshire Avenue passes through several Washington neighborhoods including Foggy Bottom, Dupont Circle, Petworth and Lamond Riggs.
