Best place for any DC public gathering event , been here several times; the recent event was World Cup watch between USA and Germany, great game, great people!

DC establishments can serve alcoholic beverages to proof-bearing 21 year olds+, M-TH 8am–2am, F-S 8am–3am & Sun 10am–2am. Beer and wine can be purchased in some stores 7 days/wk. -- Green Guide Editor

Whatever you like, you'll find it here in Dupont! Always great place to hang out at, with a group or alone!

People watching at the Dupont Circle Fountain with lunch .

Awesome place for relaxing and people watching during nice weather. You'll see artists , hula hoop experts, musicians , chess players, etc. The circle is also surrounded by great shops and restaurants .

Used to go for reading. I like this place, quite calm and nice.

This buzzy, gay-friendly neighbourhood is the place for trendy galleries , secondhand bookshops and quirky shopping. On Sundays, a farmers’ market brings the country into town . Read more

If you're up for a bit of shopping on your trip in Washington DC, Dupont Circle is the area you want to stop by. Here you'll find antique stores , boutiques , bookstores and more.

Everything you might need is just around you...a Giant CVS (24hrs/7) ,a nice branch of Starbucks, the Dupont Circle metro station & one of Shake shak branches is near by.

Perhaps DC's best little National Park . Great people watching all year long. I like a veggie burrito from Chipotle up Conn. Best place for the mother of all Snowpocalypse snowball fights 2010!

Such a lovely place for taking a break and relaxing with a cup of coffee ! Starbucks is right across the street btw :)

A great place to take a stroll anytime of the year. Sip a coffee or snack on something from one of the many surrounding restaurants . I love reading a book on a bench near the fountain . Classic DC.

Nice place with many bars , coffee shops and restaurants . Also its the perfect place to start your night in DC

People watch when it’s warm outside! In the cold, wait for someone to fall on the ice if you’re feeling mean

Dreams Will come true, just work hard and believe in yourself. Give up everything you have, see who stays. Never forget who you are and Party On!

Cultural hub of the city ; great restaurants , bars , clubs, and cafes in pretty much every direction- particularly along Conn Ave. Lovely neighborhood ; decent nightlife.

As long as you're subtle, cops are ok with bringing booze. Get some friends and some solo cups with wine and go day drinking . It's best in spring.

Very nice place, full of things to do around

Hey!! Take this moment to smile at a stranger! ????

Grab a chop't salad and hang out near the chess benches for great "crazy guy" eavesdropping. Look out for dog poop - not everyone is conscientious.

Great spot for lunch in the center of DC

In 1975, Dupont Cir. area Lambda Rising bookstore ran the nation's first gay-orientated television commercial. This historic gay neighborhood is one of America's first. Don't miss the fountain !

If you sit long enough, you'll get a visit from a squirrel. No, they dont eat kale .

Relaxing spot ! Nice for people viewing !????

This map shows you where the Metro entrances are. You're welcome.

Coolest spot at the center of DC hippie spirit. Always totally unpretentious.

Stroll along 18th St and enjoy the beautiful houses, gardens , and tasty restaurants

I love to sit on a bench & watch people as whey walk past the fountain .

Notable for its superior examples of Victorian rowhouses and turn-of-the-century Beaux-Arts mansions. Designated June 1977 with nearly 3100 protected buildings within its district boundaries.

Fabulous people-watching & scenic shots down each relative street surrounding the Circle & fountain . Early morning & evening light is the best for shooting ;-)

Love hanging out and eating lunch on the circle ! Always a lot of people out. Fun to people watch .

Love all the energy on Saturday evening. Lots of music , vendors!

Nice place for hanging out with friends.

Great way to spend a lazy day!: Many awesome shops & restaurants . People-watch by the fountain . Picnic on the grass :)

Jan 11(right now!): the National Day of Action Against Guantanamo & the NDAA! Join us at 1130 in Lafayette Square across from the White House. The program and march will run from Noon-2:30pm EST

There's lots of restaurants , no attractions , and lots of homeless people....

Contrary to popular belief, no longer a true gayborhood. The gays have long since gentrified it and moved elsewhere while yuppies from Arlington have been pouring in for years.

Great for hanging out, and a nice shortcut for navigating the maze of streets.

Kramer Books and Buffalo Billiards are definitely the Teri best places on the circle .

A think the scene in "Homeland" where the bomb goes off in the park ...oh great now I scared myself to death...lol

Great people watching , grab a cup of coffee , take in a game of chess .

Lululemon does free yoga here Wednesdays at 630p. They even have loaner mats. Just show up!

Great place to grab a sandwich or a coffee and just enjoy the moment.

Often a hot spot for getting lost; grab a map, sit back, and enjoy!

There is a city of mole men living under the circle in the old streetcar station. Google it! MOLE MEN.

Best people watching spot during the day, late night , best place to watch drunk people eat the pavement.

Doing one of my favorite things and people watching at the circle

When it's nice out, bring a blanket and some snacks and meet your students for a lesson on anything!

Try the local field mice - they're yuppie and yummy, too, a rare find in this city of crushed dreams.

Lots of small cafes , bars and restaurants ! Also where you can find the Foundry Gallery , Emerson Prepratory School, etc
