Getting around: Red Line: Dupont Circle station serves the Logan Circle area. · McPherson Square (Blue/Orange/Silver) is about a 10–12 minute walk south. · Metrobus D50 runs along 14th St NW past Logan Circle (U Street to McPherson Sq). · Metrobus D5X limited-stop runs 14th St NW from U Street to Metro Center.

Getting around Logan Circle is simple for me because so much of this day runs along 14th Street. For the Metro, the Red Line's Dupont Circle station serves the area, and McPherson Square (Blue, Orange and Silver) is about a 10–12 minute walk south.
If I'd rather ride, Metrobus D50 runs along 14th St NW past Logan Circle between U Street and McPherson Square. The D5X limited-stop runs 14th St NW from U Street to Metro Center, and the DC Circulator also runs along 14th Street.
My overall take is that this day works because the stops sit close together, from the coffee at 7 AM to dinner at doi moi.
