Concierge.com's insider take:
Although the U Street Corridor is now the province of million-dollar town houses, you can still channel its jazzy, soulful past by vintage shopping at the boutiques on U Street between 15th and 16th streets. Foundry stocks finds such as reclaimed industrial carts, old steamer trunks, and refinished antique dressers. If your tastes lean more toward midcentury, visit Millennium Decorative Arts, a wonderland of teak credenzas and chrome arc lamps. For clothes, stop by Junction for flirty day dresses and Lucite necklaces, or Dr. K for original Levi's, cowboy boots, and other slick Americana. Ginger Root Design takes an old-made-new approach with clothes and accessories stitched from recycled vintage fabrics.—Colleen Clark
