Oh dear .... did I make reservations at the wrong hotel? My reservation says: Renaissance Washington, DC Dupont Circle Hotel 1143 New Hampshire Ave NW Washington, District of Columbia? :confused:

Not at all. You are fine. It is Marriott that is trying to piggy-back on a landmark location by intimating that its hotel, which is a way down the street, is right there.

We'll be at the Marriott Wardman Park, which I Pricelined. Priceline lists it as Dupont Circle area when it's over by the National Zoo. At least its by a Metro station and it is pet friendly...so the Frenchie may fly.

Mitsitam Café inside the Museum of the American Indian
* At this time we do not have any group reservation set up for Lunch, so for now we will be on our own, although obviously we can informally arrange ourselves in groups to dine there.
* If there are 20+ confirmed persons signed up for Lunch we have the option of negotiating a group Lunch. I have not discussed pricing of this and will not do so unless it looks pretty definite that we have at least 20 persons that would like to do this.
* What is the Café like?
“Mitsitam” means “Let’s eat!” in the Native language of the Delaware and Piscataway peoples. The museum’s Mitsitam Native Foods Café enhances the museum experience by providing visitors the opportunity to enjoy the indigenous cuisines of the Americas and to explore the history of Native foods. The Café features Native foods found throughout the Western Hemisphere, including the Northern Woodlands, South America, the Northwest Coast, Meso America and the Great Plains. Each of the five food stations depict regional lifeways related to cooking techniques, ingredients, and flavors found in both traditional and contemporary dishes. Selections include authentic Native foods such as traditional fry bread and corn totopos as well as contemporary items with a Native American twist—think buffalo burgers!

Please sign up for these tours ASAP, the earlier we let them know our count the better. If we don't have firm numbers by three weeks before, it's possible we'll have to limit the group size, don't want anyone to be shut out.
