In With the Old and the New

georgetown doesn’t change much, and that’s one of the beautiful things about this impossibly charming Northwest Washington district. The cobblestone streets, the brick storefronts, and the impeccable Federal-style row houses all tell the history of the city’s oldest neighborhood.

But there’s a new development in this well-heeled enclave: In recent years, the food scene has undergone a revival, with buzzy restaurants from acclaimed chefs moving in among the old guard. Newbies in the area include everything from fancy bagel sandwiches with chimichurri at Call Your Mother to modernist tasting menus at Michelin-starred Reverie. Soon to come is an outpost of Nancy Silverton’s famed Los Angeles restaurant Osteria Mozza, in conjunction with hit-maker restaurateur Stephen Starr. Keep reading for a weekend’s worth of dining out options in Georgetown.

EAT

Plenty of Georgetown restaurants have stood the test of time, from classics like power dining spot Cafe Milano and old-school bar Martin’s Tavern to new institutions like waterfront Italian destination Fiola Mare or hipster cupcake shop Baked & Wired.
