Despite a lack of parking spots and Metro access, most D.C. locals and tourists find their way to Georgetown eventually. This historic neighborhood is a draw for its beautiful architecture and cobblestone streets packed with plentiful shopping options. And now, a booming restaurant scene is a big reason to visit.
Georgetown Harbor welcomes a taste of Lebanon, Italy, and Spain in one stylish setting with the arrival of River Club on Saturday, July 6. Restaurant magnate Stephen Starr is gearing up to open a “mega Italian” outpost on M Street with LA chef Nancy Silverton (Osteria Mozza). And the chefs behind Kyojin Sushi and Green Almond Pantry will soon add fresh new projects within the Northwest neighborhood.
On the baked goods front, load up on flaky pastries from all-day Levantine cafe Yellow, delightfully gooey cookies from NYC’s Levain, breakfast sandwiches from Baker’s Daughter, croissants from Boulangerie Christophe, and cult cupcakes from Baked & Wired. And for crispy loaves from D.C.’s award-winning Bread Furst, swing by Rose Park’s farmers market on Wednesdays.
For a luxe hotel meal, Georgetown is home to Michael Mina’s Bourbon Steak in the Four Seasons and Wolfgang Puck’s Cut in the Rosewood.
