Golden Triangle Ambassador Business District

I thought that the only golden triangle I would find myself exploring this year was the golden triangle in north eastern India.  But since my trip to India was postponed, thank god I have the business renovation and rejuvenation program in downtown dc...

I've been to Dupont many times and I've been to downtown, the foggy bottom area, and even the "golden triangle" though I never knew I had been there before.  Its where the national geographic museum is located!  The project is going ok, the place is starting to look nice.  There are lots of nice stores and places to buy expensive jewelry, oriental rugs and yes, an abundance of lunch only sandwich shops and frozen yogurt places.  Do not go to the area at night if you want to eat or even grab a cup of coffee...the only things that are "happenin" after 5pm are DC Improv and Washington Sports Club.  DC Improv is great, but I suggest actually going to see real comedians, I went to the lounge to see a show where lawyers (yes real lawyers) attempted to be funny.  I guess some of them were and with my one very strong drink under my belt as the night progressed they actually were funny.  They serve food, so if you find yourself in the triangle past 5pm and are desperate for sustenance and don't think you can walk the few blocks north to Dupont the land of restaurants, pop into the lounge. 

So they've created another neighborhood to further divide the district, but if you go exploring there after hours fill up before you make the march.

I'll be sure to keep you posted on the business ambassador progress of the triangle.
