There are some very pretty parts of Georgetown, although you pretty much have ot know about it yourself. Unfortunately, the place is dominated by the main drag (Wisconsin Avenue) which includes a lot of high-end shops, expensive restaurants and many sketchy individuals littering the streets. Quite a bit of petty crime and aggravation, well-policed but that in itself tells you... More

I have to admit that usually avoid Georgetown simply because it is usually so crowded and difficult to park. That being said, if you go on a weekday or walk across the Key Bridge from the Rosslyn metro, some of that can be avoided, and there are definitely dozens of adoreable shops worth visiting if you're in town.

Pricey, but given the average upper class income of its' residents, what do you expect? Splurging is a must! And please wear comfortable shoes! It's quicker to walk (expect some long hills and long walks)! Unless you like being stuck in traffic... Be sure to check out the Old Stone House and some of the residences nearby! Some of DC's...

One of my top ten places to be in DC; lots of great shopping, good food, and people watching. Stroll off M Street down beautiful tree-lined side streets and enjoy the architectural mix of beautiful old homes where many of Washington's more prominent movers and shakers reside.

You can spend a day here walking the shops, along the sidewalks and eating at great restaurants. The two main streets are M St. and Wisconsin Ave. Years ago, the shopping was unique; today most of the stores are chains that are found in malls around the country. If the crowds get to you, just walk north (uphill) a couple... More

The shops, the history, the school...it was all very nice. More

If you like to walk and shop in small towns you will enjoy shopping at Georgetown and eating at one of the many restraunts. Check out Kafe Leopold for an good place to eat outside. More
