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 architect
ure and cobblestone streets packed with plentiful shopping options. And now, a booming restaurant scene is a big reason to visit. Newcomers to watch along Wisconsin Avenue NW include NY’s popular soup stop Springbone Kitchen and Sushi Gaku.
On the baked goods front, load up on flaky pastries from all-day Levantine cafe Yellow, delightfully gooey cookies from NYC’s Levain, croissants from Boulangerie Christophe, and cult cupcakes from Baked Wired, empanadas from Argentine cafe Flor Coffee, and scoops from Yalla Greek Ice Cream.
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.
For this latest map refresh, we added Alara and Florería Atlántico/Brasero Atlántico. And for now, we say goodbye to Villa Yara, Tony and Joe’s, and Filomena. In addition, Michelin-starred Reverie recently closed (and will soon be replaced with a new steakhouse from chef Ryan Ratino).
