    Full of little nooks and crannies, and cobblestone roads. Lots of history in this part of the city. Make sure to take a walk or bike ride into Rossalyn, as it can provide a lovely view of the River

    Need a shopping spree? Georgetown is known for its fashion but don't forget about Georgetown Cupcakes, one of the best in the country. Yes, there is also the exorcist stairs, just don't go at night!

    This is a great neighborhood to spend your Saturday or Sunday afternoon! All kinds of shopping and restaurants up and down the main thoroughfare of M Street. LITS to do and see!
  • Affinia Hotel Collection
    It’s much more than just a college town! Check out the awesome shopping on M St. NW, and don’t miss the infamous Exorcist steps at the end of 36th Street NW.

    Georgetown is inaccessible (no metro/few bus stops), in an inconvenient corner of the city, + has become a tourist mall. But it also has Dumbarton Oaks, the exorcist stairs + a decent waterfront.

    Hugo hope you're enjoying my old stomping grounds. Don't forget to have a beer and wings at The Tombs down the street from GTown. There is also great Latin, Arabic and African food near embassy row

    Georgetown is the most wonderful neighborhood. It has the best shopping and it's by the harbor. Plus, the buildings are so pretty and gothic.

    Top tier shopping til you drop, then hit the waterfront for Great seafood and Ambiance. Maybe even a Booze cruise on the Potomac if you so please!

    Love the pedestrian culture of the area. It's extremely crowded...parking is a hassle. Catch bus from Foggy Boggy Metro. Be sure to check out the waterfront!

    Always coming to M street for a lovely after or before meal stroll. The only downside: 10% city tax!

    Some shops are closing, because of Amazon and online shopping. But it's much live on the streets.

    Here's a tip; don't tip the derelicts on the corner. Maybe then they will go away. Particularly that vagabond with the pink whale hat. "Ok get me on the way back."
