Dupont Circle

1601 Connecticut Ave, NW Via CIRCA
Ed. Note: Thanks to Jeff Rueckgauer for giving us the heads up last night.
From an email:
“When we first opened CIRCA at Dupont over ten years ago, we never could have imagined the growth opportunities that our small restaurant in Dupont Circle would afford us. The concept for CIRCA was created on the back of a napkin – we sketched out a place where we always wanted to go. We named the spot CIRCA to pay tribute to Dupont Circle – since we were around, or close to, the Circle.
Our CIRCA brand has since grown to include our locations in Clarendon (2011) and Foggy Bottom (2011), and we are thrilled to join two new neighborhoods this year with our CIRCA openings in Chinatown (January 2018) and Navy Yard (Summer 2018).
We decided to exit our lease at the end of this month after 10 years in Dupont and turn our attention to our Chinatown opening in January 2018 – having the option to bring great management and team members who understand our company, our culture and our mission was an incredible opportunity we could not pass up.

From an email:
“The Cheeky Puppy will say goodbye to Dupont Circle as of Christmas Eve. While we’ve loved being part of the community, it makes the most business sense to focus instead on our burgeoning online business with a more flexible footprint than full-time bricks and mortar allows.
We are fully stocked going into the holiday, but have seriously discounted some items in preparation for our pivot – 30% off collars and leashes chief among the deals! We also have some fixtures available that won’t be moving to our online hub.”

Last week we shared the awesomeness of Glen’s new fire pits (Glen’s Cocoa Lodge.) Now it’s a month old but I’d like to share some more awesomeness I stumbled upon from Glen’s:

We invite guests to experience each room in our beautiful multi-level restaurant, situated in a historic Dupont Circle town home. Tulips’ intoxicating atmosphere includes a sophisticated dining room, a champagne lounge, and upscale bar.”

This looks awesome. Thanks to Bill for sending. Does the Glen’s Garden Market Shaw location have one too?
Where else can we find a fire pit for some outdoor autumn/winter drinking?

Update from Glen’s, it’s the:
“Glen’s Cocoa Lodge
DC loves a good patio and we’ve found a way to make sure ours don’t go unused this winter! Glen’s Cocoa Lodge are winter getaways in Dupont Circle and Shaw. We invite our Neighbors to cozy up by the fire with hot chocolate, $4 local craft beers and wines by the glass, and delicious food from our delis. The Cocoa Lodges are first come, first serve seating, but we are offering reservations for private groups.”
