The Dupont Circle neighborhood is bounded approximately by 16th Street NW to the east, 22nd Street NW to the west, M Street NW to the south, and Florida Avenue NW to the north. Dupont is a popular residential neighborhood with lively dining and nightlife. Eclectic eateries, coffee shops, bookstores, dive bars and dance clubs cluster on Connecticut Avenue, while over on Massachusetts Avenue, stately buildings line Embassy Row. In many ways, Dupont Circle represents the best that DC has to offer. With its turn-of-the-century homes, inviting public spaces, diverse selection of bars and restaurants, and vibrant energy, the neighborhood is virtually a self-sufficient village within the city.

Whether it’s boutique shopping or bookstore browsing, you’ll find it here. Explore Dupont Circle and you’ll discover dozens of bistros, bars, boutiques and museums, as well as the vibrant stretch along 17th Street famed for its gay-owned businesses. Every day of the year, laid-back locals and savvy visitors flock to the Dupont Circle fountain to read, people-watch and meet up with others. We highly recommend getting in some time there, too. This cosmopolitan neighborhood offers a little something for everyone. An array of unique shops and exciting restaurants along Connecticut Avenue, one of the busy streets in the neighborhood, is exciting enough to keep you going all day. Art-lovers can gallery hop around for First Friday Dupont or experience America’s first museum of modern art, The Phillips Collection. Globally minded folks should trek down Embassy Row, which starts on Massachusetts Avenue and cuts right through the circle. As far as food goes, expect that international flavor of embassies to rub off on restaurants. Dupont's dining spots radiate outward from the central circle and include a diverse mix of marquee restaurants, casual bistros, brunch hot spots and late-night dining options. Check off a Michelin-starred dining experience at Sushi Taro, one of the District’s best Japanese restaurants (Chef Nobu Yamazaki’s kaiseki, or tasting menu, is not to be missed), or sample globally-inspired farm-to-table fare at The Pembroke. A can't-miss activity in the neighborhood is joining the throngs of locals on Sundays who visit the year-round Dupont Circle farmers’ market (one of our favorite farmers’ markets in the District) in front of the Metro station entrance on Q and 20th streets.

Dupont Circule borders the upper end of commercial downtown (Golden Triangle). Historically the gay neighborhood of DC, which can be most found on 17th Street.
