"Once a tobacco-trading hub and now home to cobblestone streets and historic rowhouses, Georgetown is an old neighborhood -nearly 40 years older than DC itself, in fact. It was where Thomas Jefferson lived, where Jackie O and JFK met, where Sally Quinn hosted her soirées. If more recently it's become known for throngs of tourists-and college students-Georgetown is currently in the midst of a mini-renaissance, with an influx of hot restaurants and shops."
"After two years of anticipation, Le Diplomate owner Stephen Starr and California chef Nancy Silverton opened the Italian restaurant and market Osteria Mozza last November. In a historic space formerly occupied by Dean & DeLuca, the restaurant is spacious-20,000 square feet-but hard to get into. If you snag a reservation, we recommend the raviolo, burricotta with artichokes, hanger steak, and chicken alla diavola, plus Silverton's famous focaccia di recco and deconstructed Caesar salad."
Georgetown was once a tobacco-trading hub and now features cobblestone streets and historic rowhouses, predating Washington, DC by nearly 40 years. The neighborhood is experiencing a mini-renaissance with an influx of notable restaurants, shops, and markets. Osteria Mozza occupies a historic former Dean & DeLuca space with 20,000 square feet, a gourmet market, and signature dishes such as raviolo, burricotta with artichokes, hanger steak, chicken alla diavola, focaccia di recco, and a deconstructed Caesar salad. Two Nine offers a daytime takeout cafe with chirashi bowls sourced from Tokyo's Toyosu fish market and an intimate eight-seat omakase counter serving nigiri, sashimi, firefly squid, and sea urchin. Additional Japanese spots and other openings continue to energize Georgetown's dining scene.
