Sushi Taro
DC is full of neighborhood gem type sushi restaurants, but none stand out in the Dupont Circle area quite like Sushi Taro. Well, not in the physical sense, at least. The restaurant can barely be seen by pedestrians on the street, its sign dwarfed by the CVS pharmacy that makes up the majority of the [...]
Urbana
The Kimpton boutique hotels can be found scattered all over DC and the surrounding suburbs. It’s likely that you might have seen one of their hotels and not known it belongs to the Kimpton empire.

Bistrot Du Coin
Bistrot Du Coin, which translates roughly to, ‘Insert Coin’, is a restaurant in the heart of Dupont Circle that specializes in French cuisine, most notably, their mussels.
