• Sample the fantastic eateries in the Dupont Circle neighborhood, which is Washington, DC’s most vibrant dining destination. Browse the Sunday farmers market for fresh local produce, try the fried clams at Hank’s Oyster Bar, and sip beers from around the world at the Bier Baron Tavern.

• Sit at the presidents’ favorite booths and tables and dine on upscale American dishes at Martin’s Tavern, a Georgetown institution. Try to snag Booth 3, the spot where then Senator John F. Kennedy proposed to Jackie Bouvier.

• Dine in classic Washington style at the 1789 Restaurant, a renovated Federal-style restaurant bedecked with antiques and china. Serving outstanding American fare made from locally sourced ingredients, this is a quintessential DC experience.
