Dupont Circle

Dupont Circle is a charming, bustling neighborhood. Easily walkable and metro accessible, Dupont offers an array of restaurants, bars, galleries and shops. There are also plenty of museums in the area, including the Phillips Collection, the Textile Museum, Woodrow Wilson House and National Geographic Society’s Explorers Hall, just to name a few. And if you enjoy sightseeing, Dupont houses the largest concentration of the more than 150 embassies throughout the city.

Because there are so many great places to eat or grab a drink in Dupont, we recommend visiting the online Washingtonian Restaurants and Dining guide: http://www.washingtonian.com/dining/.

Weather

D.C. in November can be chilly. Normal average temperatures range from the lower to the upper 50's. It might not be a bad idea to pack an umbrella, too. The way weather has been changing around the world, you never know!
