Omg! I’m in love with this neighborhood! Beautiful AF! Gorgeous houses and lots of plant and flowers! My best place for spending time around D.C

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- Social News NetworkFebruary 14, 2013Need 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!Upvoted 2 weeks ago
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 CollectionAugust 30, 2012It’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.
Sebastian OveysiJune 9, 2013I have lived here in Georgetown for almost a year and wouldn't live anywhere else!! From the little cafes to mom and pops tiny bistros! I absolutely love living here!!!
Nicole McKinneyDecember 11, 2019Georgetown 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.
Chen ShaoApril 7, 2012Georgetown is the most wonderful neighborhood. It has the best shopping and it's by the harbor. Plus, the buildings are so pretty and gothic.
Jaime VasquezDecember 31, 2012Hugo 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
The Liaison Capitol HillAugust 30, 2012It’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.- SteezyJuly 21, 2019Top 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!
come watch Monday night football with the intoxicologist upstairs at the Rhino on 33rd and M street 10cent wings and $8 pitchers...
JamarJune 9, 2012Love 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!
Bernhard SchrittwieserJuly 1, 2022You have to go there, to see the beautifully side from Washington. Small cute houses and shopping stores.
Jasmine 💫July 30, 2017Always coming to M street for a lovely after or before meal stroll. The only downside: 10% city tax!
Rana Alajlan💕January 10, 2017Great place. Make sure u stop by Georgetown Cupcake while you are there. Everything in this town makes me happy.
Berre K.August 15, 2013Great place to feel peace. Make sure u stop by Georgetown Cupcake while you are there. Everything in this town makes you happy.
Arnaud GelbJune 23, 2013Not to be missed in Georgetown: Old Stone House, C&O Canal, M Street, Wisconsin Ave., Dumbarton Oak Gardens, Montrose Park, Georgetown University, Waterfront.
Alan BruceJanuary 23, 2012Just walking around the streets is so much fun! Make should you find all the famous spots like Georgetown cupcakes and the exorcist stairs!!!!
Ashley ShumwayNovember 17, 2013J.Crew is having a sale and TJ Maxx just opened. Georgetown is a great place to go shopping! #mco435
Cute as a button, but the main drag can get hectic during the weekends
Nikolaus GradlAugust 8, 2014Some shops are closing, because of Amazon and online shopping. But it's much live on the streets.
Enes OzbayogluOctober 25, 2018Spent 6 beautifull years and never forget and second. Be there at Halloween.
Juliana GuerraJuly 3, 2012Ben & Jerry, Urban Outfitters and Sephora, all in the same street, with cosy houses. Very nice!
Re'ginald Shaw-RichardsonMay 14, 2013The oldest part of DC before there was a DC ,be sure to get a cupcake at Georgetown Cup
MeganApril 26, 2012Great place to shop. Make sure you stop by Georgetown Cupcake while you're there.
- M Squared Real EstateAugust 14, 2011Run the Exorcist stairs made famous in the 1973 horror classic. The stairs are located at Prospect St NW & M St. NW.
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."
- Check out old glory for great BBQ! Also two bars for your drinking pleasure :)
- Nice area to spend your Sunday during the Spring/Summer
The sidewalks are treacherous in 4"+ heels. Foldable flats FTW.
While you're in the neighborhood, stop by J.Paul's and check out their famous raw bar.
- go upstairs at Rhino bar on 33rd and M for happy hour. everything half off 6-9 Friday only.
Jerrry GJune 8, 2013Nothing but pretentious snobs who can't drive and have no idea what's going on outside of their 6 and 7 figure insignificant consumerist lives. Ironically where the slaves lived back in the day.
