Things To Do
Un je ne sais Quoi...
For those who share Swathi's love of pastries, this Dupont Circle gem is a must-visit. It’s a little slice of Paris in DC! Perfect for a morning croissant or an afternoon espresso break. (8 min walk from the venue).
Surfside Taco Stand
One of Vik’s favorite taco spots, and Swathi’s now too! Surfside serves up some seriously good tacos and is open 24 hours (yes, really). Whether it’s a late-night snack or a post-celebration craving, this is the place to go for something quick, casual, and delicious (6 min walk from the venue).
