We are staying in Dupont Circle area on our up-coming trip--lots of good restaurants right in the area. My husband loves mussels and Chimay--is Belga Cafe worth the trip, or should we skip it and eat in the area? Also, we would love to hear good live jazz; the only posts I see for Utopia are from 2000--is this still a good place to go to hear live music? Thanks!

Hello rosebro, I notice you have not had any responses to your questions.

May I suggest that you repost and indicate in the title of your thread what your questions are. Also perhaps many do know but I would also put the name of the city in the title also.
Example "Q's regarding (name of city) Dupont Circle area". I would imagine you will receive answers and thoughts from those that are familar with Dupont Circle. Best regards.

I was under the impression this post only appeared in the Washington,D.C. thread. I didn't realize it was reaching a wider audience. I see how that could be confusing!

There is no Washington, DC, board. That's only for the search engine. There's only a U.S. board that you posted your question.

I see your other post - You should get lots of answers as there's a huge DC contingent on Fodors.

Cafe Belga is still great. Even better and a little closer is Beck - featuring about a hundered different Belgian beers!! (the mussles rock too!).

Here's a complete listing of jazz venues in DC. I think Twins Jazz and HR-57 and the two best choices.
