Dupont Circle

classic lgbtq female · 20036

Sunday at the FreshFarm market on 20th, then Kramers for the upstairs cafe and a bookstore open at midnight. The fountain in the circle is for chess players and afternoon sprawl, not first dates with anything to prove. Phillips Collection is the small-museum move that respects an attention span. Tradeoff: the embassies and Victorian rowhouses priced most singles out a decade ago, and the bar crowd leans Hill staffers and post-college drifters between Mission and The Mad Hatter. Better as a daylight neighborhood than a Saturday-night one, and honest people will tell you that.
