Because of your excellent channel, I traveled to DC (From Va Beach/Amtrak) in Aug. Georgetown was great! using the circulator bus from the Capitol Union station, the Call your mother deli was my first stop. I had a good seat down by the canal to eat my bagel. I had a wonderful day! Thanks, Rob!
This one Sunday I was going out to lunch with this girl and we drove in from Northern Va where we’re from. She had a list of places she wanted to try in Georgetown and she really wanted lunch. The problem is that a lot of places in DC have brunch Sunday mornings, so the person you’re with might not like that very much. I was dragged to about 3 other places (including Farmers, Fishers, and Bakers) that all had Sunday brunch before we finally found an Italian place to eat lunch (Filomena Restorante). Moral of the story: do your research before bouncing around places in Georgetown until you find what you want. You’ll have more time to do/see other things! PS: Farmers, Fishers, and Bakers had a great ambiance and I’m sure it was a great place to eat. I’ll have to commit to going again some other day of the week.
Georgetown is wicked beautiful. I took the DC Circular there from Union Station last year. I saw the Waterfront Park and walked to the Foggy Bottom Metro station. I also saw the Canal. I wanted to see Georgetown University as my cousin went there and I love College basketball , but didn't get to see it. I'm going to try God willing in October when I go to DC
The Northwest quadrant is the only region of D.C. that I've seen in recent memory, as I was there in early-mid-June of last year, when visiting my cousin. I had previously been there on a field trip in 8th grade in late March 2012, though we never really saw Georgetown from what I remember. Nor do I remember visiting Penn Quarter, which I've also had renewed interest in.
Thanks Rob, great timing for me :) Just booked a very long trip to DC (from Israel), in December, and a hotel in Georgetown (not Four Seasons this time).
Lived here for years and could never get into Georgetown Cupcakes. The line always wrapped around the building. I finally was able to try them this year by visiting their Bethesda location. No lines there at all. Nonetheless, great cupcakes!
Back in 1978-1979, I used to work at a building on the corner of R St. & Wisconsin Ave. That was the home office of the Chas. G. Stott Co., an office supply chain with a number of stores in the area. A block or so down Wisconsin was a French bakery/deli that had the best roast beef on a baguette - 45 years and I can still remember how delicious they were. Was just wondering if that still exists?
I visit the Old House like in 2019 and it was interesting and I love your channel and maybe we can do a video soon live from the Basilica of The National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception
