Casablanca at Dupont Circle<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

With the summer travels, I have not been able to do a DC post in a little while. Sometimes, we get caught up with travels that we forget how amazing our own city can be. In honor of the arrival of the Dutchman, I decided to do a little staycation less than two miles from my home: 24 hours in Dupont Circle. After my stay at the Okura Hotel<\/a> in Amsterdam through the Jetsetter <\/a>Mystery Hotel Sale, I was sold on the same offer in Washington DC. I was excited to find out it was the Dupont Circle<\/a> Hotel. The room had an amazing panoramic view of Dupont Circle, the bed was light and airy (which the Dutchman appreciated after a nine hour flight), and the location was perfect.<\/p>\n

As we walked back to the hotel from dinner, we walked around the circle to be pleasantly surprised by the screening of Casablanca right on Dupont Circle. We were impressed by the magical display right in the middle of the city, an intimate setting shared by a diverse set of people. After a good night sleep, we headed to Kramer Books<\/a> for brunch. The Dutchman is always impressed with the level of friendliness he receives in the United States, especially at restaurants. What I enjoyed about Kramer Books the most were the nice plates of mini-breads and fresh fruit we received upon being seated. Nice touch, especially as we arrived starving. The crabcake eggs benedict was delicious as a washed it down with a pomegranate mimosa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

We walked off the brunch at the Dupont Circle Farmer’s Market<\/a>. Much bigger than my neighborhood market at Bloomingdale, it had a great variety, especially of fruits and vegetables that are rare finds at supermarkets. One of the things I appreciate the most about DC is how much neighborhoods can change within a few blocks. I am in love with my neighborhood of Bloomindale but I am also happy that a whole new world and experiences are available in a two mile radius.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
