I just moved to the NoMa neighborhood in DC. Any advice on things to do/avoid, areas to check out, good running paths, places to eat?

Old City Market & Oven is a nice corner store for any one off needs. They also have really good Italian takout

A litteri best sandwiches. Big board best local bar. Copy cat best cocktails (h street). Make friends with those in the houses nearby it can be a cool neighborhood for locals.

Also Red Bear Brewing Co and Stelina Pizza are great spots

Agreed, but no reason not to go. Plus the city is working hard to permanently remove them. The whole right side of that block has been cleared out and they even put concrete barriers so no one can settle there.

MBT trail is a great place to run. Entrance right off the NoMa metro station.

Things can be a bit sketchy at night, but overall I always felt safe and comfortable living there (3 years). I never felt nervous around the homeless community or near underpasses, but always tried to practice distancing and normal safety stuff.
Good places: union market, Wundergarten, republic cantina, uncle chips, indigo, Laos in town, st anselm, fancy radish, toki underground, maketto,
