[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]D and 11th is Capitol Hill or Lincoln Park or Hill East or something else?[/quote]

Lincoln Park is in Capitol Hill and serves as an unofficial boundary between Capitol Hill and Hill East (my opinion, but one shared by most of my neighbors as well). I generally think of things east of Lincoln Park as "Hill East" and things west of it as "Capitol Hill."

I'd consider 11th and D NE to be Capitol Hill for sure, and is close enough to the park to be Lincoln Park. I have also heard people in this area say they live "near H Street" though since it's south of Maryland I think that's a stretch.

11th and D SE would be described by most as Eastern Market, but I'd also consider it Capitol Hill (Eastern Market is contained by Capitol Hill) and you could describe it as in the Lincoln Park neighborhood as well.[/quote]
I tend to think of Capitol Hill proper as anything in the historic district.  That would put 11th & D NE and SE both in Capitol Hill, although you're right that many people would say that the latter is Eastern Market to give it a more specific location.

The historic district goes about a block east of Lincoln Park (which is obvious from the change in the sidewalks), and I do think that block of E. Capitol looks more like Capitol Hill than Hill East.  Otherwise, though, Lincoln Park is a pretty good rule-of-thumb boundary.
