About this experience
Wisconsin Avenue is Georgetown's beating heart, and that's where your local guide will start. Your first stop is a neighborhood favorite from a Michelin-recognized chef, known for fresh pita and creamy hummus, and for a line that stretches down the block. Next, a longtime local butcher shop serves up Washington's famous handmade half smoke, a true D.C. classic. Along the way, pass the former home of Julia Child and hear how she introduced generations of Americans to French cooking. At the Georgetown waterfront, sink your teeth into a farm-to-table taco loaded with seasonal flavor. Stroll past the historic C&O Canal, catch a glimpse of the legendary Blues Alley jazz club, and see the Old Stone House, the oldest unchanged building in D.C. Save room for one of the city's favorite cupcakes from a beloved local bakery, plus our Secret Dish, a surprise bite that captures the true character of Georgetown.
