The Atlas District refers to H Street NE between North Capitol Street and 15th Street NE. This is the most popular part of the neighborhood for visitors due to its restaurants, and shopping. It is named after the Atlas Theater (opened in 1938), now the Atlas Performing Arts Center, at 1338 H Street NE.

History of Washington, D.C./Near Northeast

Near Northeast has long since been a popular area for immigrants to settle. By the 1950s, it had become predominately African-American. The neighborhood suffered some of the biggest damage during the 1968 riots that left 1,200 buildings in the city destroyed and, like many areas of eastern D.C., it was reduced to urban blight for decades.

However, since the turn of the century, efforts have been made to revitalize the neighborhood and make it a destination for local residents and visitors. In 2004, under new ownership and the Atlas Theatre underwent a $22 million renovation. In 2006, Joe Englert, a local entrepreneur, purchased 8 properties on H Street NE between 12th Street NE & 14th Street NE and converted them into top destination restaurants, bars, and concert venues. In 2012, Union Market, a warehouse-style indoor market just west of Gallaudet University, was renovated and re-tenanted.
