We ended up going to Washington DC last minute from New York as a DJ we were going to see (Fisher) cancelled a few days before.<\/p>\n

We took the Amtrak (which left from Penn station and cost only $100). It took 3 hours, and we arrived at DC’s union station.<\/p>\n

The area that was recommended to stay was DuPont circle (hotel we stayed at was called the Royal Sonesta), which was a 20 minute Uber ride from Union station.<\/p>\n

From the hotel, we basically checked in Ubered another 20 minutes to the Wharf area, where we were going to eat at Hell’s Kitchen. Before going there we had a drink nearby at Whisky Charlie:<\/p>\n

The wharf area seems like a pretty good place to hang out, like Santana Row. Also could stay there next time in terms of hotel.<\/p>\n

For Hell’s Kitchen, this is the review:<\/p>\n

Afterwards, we headed east to go to a club called Echostage to see a DJ called Mau P. Clubs is the number 3 club according to DJ mag. Sound system was good, and visuals. Seemed like the average age was 25.<\/p>\n

Next morning we explored Georgetown. We got brunch at this place:<\/p>\n

After, shopped in the area along M street (bought stuff at Rag & Bone and Rothy). They also had a Capital One cafe on that street (you get 50% off if you use their card). We also checked out this rooftop bar:<\/p>\n

We the headed for the airport to DCA. DCA has limited lounges (we tried the United lounge and it was pretty bad). Next time would fly out of IAD (they have a Chase Sapphire Reserve Loinge<\/p>\n
