Dupont Italian Kitchen has been serving delicious Italian cuisine for over 30 years. But it’s so much more than just another Italian restaurant. It’s a second home to a loyal crowd of regulars, a hangout spot for LGBTQ+ residents and their families, and a beloved part of the 17th Street community. It’s one of the District’s top spots for people watching—where you can enjoy a Mimosa or Sangria on the patio as the crowds pass by. But perhaps most importantly, it’s one of the rare restaurants left in DC that retains a small-town feel—where the customers and staff know each other on a first-name basis.
Invite your friends.
If you haven't been fully vaccinated, have a cough, runny or stuffy nose, fatigue, sore throat, or headache, please just stay home. You can find a vaccine near you by searching on https://www.Vaccines.gov. Social distancing is possible in this spacious, well ventilated lounge.

Smithsonian National Museum of American History
Register for free on Eventbrite.
Enjoy a free group visit of the National Museum of American History with other LGBTQ+ folk. More details will be provided to those who sign up. Please meet right before 2 p.m. inside the lobby of main Constitution Avenue entrance (go through security check-in).
The address is Constitution Avenue, NW, Between 12th and 14th Streets, Washington, DC. The Museum is located on the National Mall. Riding Metro is your best bet. The use of public transportation, including taxis, in Washington is recommended as free parking is limited and posted times are enforced. Metro, Washington's subway system, and Metrobus link the city with nearby communities in Maryland and Virginia. The Federal Triangle and Smithsonian stations, on Metro's Blue, Silver, and Orange lines, are located near the Mall. Every subway station is equipped with an elevator and most with escalators.
Please note that this is a casual walking visit with the group, not a high-end art interpretation from an art expert or curator.
According to the Smithsonian website, "The National Museum of American History is home to more than 1.8 million objects and more than three shelf-miles of archival collections. On behalf of the nation, we preserve and share this extraordinary national collection encompassing everything from the original Star-Spangled Banner to Abraham Lincoln’s top hat; from pioneering early computers to the first artificial heart; from Dizzy Gillespie’s angled trumpet to Dorothy’s ruby slippers from The Wizard of Oz. Our archival collections include a remarkable array of American history in documents, photographs, and other works, including major holdings on the histories of American business and music."
Casual attire is fine.
