Georgetown
Though I live on the Hill, I joke that Georgetown is where I go to vacation – & it is where I spend the most amount of my time when I’m not at home. Whether I’m stopping into Manse for a client gift, meeting a peer for lunch at La Bonne Vache, or taking a lap through a stately historic home, Georgetown hits all of the high notes for me and for many of my clients. The West Village boasts proximity to Georgetown University, and the East Village has a coveted proximity to gorgeous gardens and parks. The nearest metro accessibility is about a 20 minute walk away to Foggy Bottom, so living here means living a dedicated urban lifestyle or having a car – but everything you could need is within a 15 minute walk, including some of the city’s best cafes and restaurants.
If you’d like to learn more about buying or selling in Georgetown, send me an email.
My recommendations
Cafes
Baked & Wired, for something sweet & rarely crowded
Boulangerie Christophe for a great baguette
Yellow, though never when there is a line
LA Burdick, a pretty chocolate shop with a few seats
Flor, a beautiful and thoughtful cafe tucked away
Blue Bottle Coffee, basic I know, but great on a sunny day when they perhaps have the windows open
South Block, for when I need a quick smoothie fix en route to Virginia
Sara’s Market, off the main path, but they sometimes have sandwiches
Lunch or Dinner
Osteria Mozza, a gorgeous space with Italian classics
L’Avant Garde for a nice night out with French flair
Chez Billy Sud, romantic, cozy, and French – lovely for lunch or dinner
La Bonne Vache, my go to for a ladies' lunch or a leisurely moment on my own
Greco, fresh, easy, and filling greek food (fast casual)
River Club, defiantly fabulous and fun
Kyojin Sushi, clubby but delicious
Villa Yara, for fun Mediterranean small plates
Shops
Manse, I pretty much live here
Tuckernuck, a tiny shop considering the chokehold they have on my closet
Ann Mashburn, in my opinion the OG Tuckernuck; it’s also worth checking out Sid Mashburn next door, for the guys!
Cote Jardin, a fancy antiques shop
Pillar & Post, English inspired antiques
Dent Place Market, just a fun local spot that I tell myself I’d visit often if I lived nearby
Georgetown Flea Market on Sundays
Manse, my favorite place
The patio at Osteria Mozza
