Each year many of the embassies open their doors for the touring. Most of the embassies are located on Embassy Row is a around Massachusetts Ave. NW, to the northwest of Dupont Circle. This is your chance to visit countries to experience their culture, wares and sample their flavors. The lines can be long so manage your expectations on how many can be visited in a day. My favorite was the Belizean Embassy as they hosted a true island experience. Complete with local beer, rum and their famous drink the panty ripper. Their food is full of flavor and reasonably price. Cash is the easy route to go.
