You can’t help but get sucked into people watching when in Dupont. It’s full of stately row homes and stylish locals heading to yoga, perusing independent boutiques or simply enjoying an alfresco lunch at one of the many restaurants. Art lovers should plan their visit for First Friday Dupont when area galleries showcase their collections late into the evening, or head to The Phillips Collection to enjoy works by Picasso, Rothko and van Gogh. The Phillips also celebrates its 100th anniversary this year with special exhibits and dedicated music events. Explore the world on a stroll along Embassy Row, which cuts right through Dupont Circle, then dine on fantastic international cuisine at restaurants like Michelin-starred Sushi Taro, Anju for Korean fare, and Thai hot spot Little Serow. On Sundays, stop by the legendary Dupont Circle farmers’ market to sample produce and snacks from regional artisans, then support indie bookstore Kramerbooks & Afterwords Cafe, a Dupont institution since the 1970s.
