This road turns into Rhode Island Avenue. Go about one-third of the way around the circle to P Street. Take P Street west about six blocks to Dupont Circle. Stay in the outer loop of the circle and go two-thirds of the way around it until you can turn right on New Hampshire heading southwest. This will turn into M Street in about three blocks.
Parking is limited and difficult to find in the many narrow and cobblestoned side streets.
Excellent Mexican food. Best Indonesian food on the East Coast. Vietnamese restaurant favored by some faculty. Federal Center SW, Capitol South, and Eastern Market Metrorail stations are all located south of the Capitol within walking distance of many pubs and restaurants. The easiest way to get from UM to the Capitol itself is to go south on the Baltimore-Washington Parkway to the East Capitol Street exit.
