Georgetown: A Tour of Washington DC's Hippest Neighborhood

Georgetown is known for its cobblestone streets, historic brick and frame row houses, and grand estates dating back as early as the mid-1700s. The neighborhood is also home to Georgetown University. Founded in 1751 in the Province of Maryland, the port of Georgetown predated the establishment of the federal district and the City of Washington by 40 years. Incorporated into the District of Columbia, Georgetown remained a separate municipality until 1871 when the United States Congress created a new consolidated government for the whole District.

While you're here make sure to visit:
Georgetown University: Founded in 1789, Georgetown University is one of the oldest and most prestigious universities in the United States. The campus is home to a number of historical buildings and museums, including the Georgetown University Art Gallery and the Georgetown University Museum.

Georgetown Waterfront Park: This park offers stunning views of the Potomac River and the Washington skyline. It is a popular spot for an evening stroll.

C&O Canal: This historic canal was once used to transport goods between the Potomac River and the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal. Today, it is a popular running, hiking, and bicycling path.

I used to come to Georgetown every weekend back in the 80's and happy to see the city is still clean with no homeless like in NY, SF, LA. Thanks for great video.

[michellebaker]

Georgetown is beautiful and so much history. Thank you for sharing.

Love DC. We explored the National Mall area and its great museums, but will do Georgetown as well in the future! We also took a water taxi across to Old Town Alexandria, Viriginia - gorgeous!

I used to drive down Foxhall Rd. to Georgetown from my college dorm room, back in 90’s. I would get Philadelphia style sandwiches at midnight in those exam weeks. Thank you for the video, I miss DC.

I am grateful for the people in Washington DC for keeping the virtues of america high recently. I am grateful for them because they are preserving bookstores, and opening new ones, and in the process unplugging people from dependence on the system and encouraging only voluntary usage not dependence, regarding overuse as bad as drug addiction, it is only true freedom if we know that we are able to spend one half of a month within the system and another out, the gateways are preserved by america's dedication to the people's freedom and equality of states (this includes states of consciousness).

Washington DC is glowing with the fruits of fresh freedom and free thought and life lately, it's roots are deep and the new branches on its trees are truly natural not the artificial edifices of egocentric architects. Lately writing and philosophizing is the trend in America's capital, eastern taoism in written form has a special niche of demand and audience, reaching new levels of understanding and influencing in some ways the way of life, encouraging a bustling capital not to rush itself, gain wisdom from slowness and stillness and appreciate the peaks of trees and blossoms of the valleys and forests that neighbor and even enter DC (rock creek park is an amazing natural forest).

I am grateful that the written word is being celebrated and set free in Washington because the written word is the seed of all universes and possibilities. Let the people publish true quality and true heart, and sincerity, let them publish on pages of hemp paper that increase the life of forests worldwide not diminish them, let them publish the insights that free us forever.

LOVINGKINDNESS
may everyone in washington DC
get the full taste of the american experience
and restored freedom with justice

may everyone in washington DC
see a beauty theyve never seen before within themselves and others
incarnate with buddha and without ignorance and waste

leave washington dc as clean or cleaner than it was when they came
lovingkindness, may there be new synergies all over the world with environmentalist results

lovingkindness may everyone in washington dc
be able to take that wisdom
and seed home with them
and improve their home no matter how far away it be

Georgetown looks like a nice area. I will have to check it out the next time I get over to the DC area as I haven't really seen anything in DC beyond the National Mall yet.

King street, Alexandria and Georgetown were my go-to spots when I moved to the DMV.

[SwiftyTravels]

Georgetown is such s fabulous area! I’ve only been there once and it was so dang cold! I’d love to go back this time of year! Great tour!

[gumerzambrano]

Great walk through Chris! My best friend went to Georgetown for school so I visited him once and thought the area was great!

We had Curry&Pie there and it was phenomenal

[myutoob]

We went there for the first time in May. We enjoyed a half day stroll. Started with lunch in a basement restaurant called The Tombs, then Baked & Wired for cupcakes, the Exorcist steps, the waterfront. We also walked past the Ukrainian embassy. Completed it with a $1 ride back on the Circulator Bus.

[mrkenwu]

I live in DC, and I wish Georgetown can be turned into a no-car zone.

[edwardmoran]

You should have done a street or two of the old townhouses which are beautiful and more relaxing than donut shops. You missed the Exorcist stairway although you were so close. Also, the front of Georgetown University and Healy Tower, maybe George Washington Old Main steps in the courtyard would have been worth a couple of minutes. But thanks!

[georgiasmith]

Georgetown isn’t DC’s hippest neighborhood anymore. I would say that is Shaw Logan or Union Market. Georgetown is more like the Upper East Side in NYC which no one would say is the hippest part of NYC.

[Joseferyan]

Aw man, I was hoping you would show the exorcist stairs lol.

[HAMILTONPROVIDEO]

I saw Linda Ronstadt & the Stone Ponys at the Cellar Door back in the 70s on M st.
That is Theodore Roosevelt Island you pointed out.

[edarmando]

You should do a video on St Elmo’s fire filming locations please 🙏

[johnwm]

Chris, you were so so close to famous movie site. If you walk maybe 50 feet past the Key Bridge road you will see the famous staircase from the end of the Exorcist movie.

[PragerFenster]

You just showed what I feel is the ugliest part of Georgetown, namely busy M Street. It is actually very atypical for Georgetown. The real beauty lies in the residential areas off this noisy traffic arteria. All quaint and with hardly any traffic, but beautiful, British-looking, mostly Colonial buildings (and also a few very small grocery stores). You can stroll along these historical site for hours!

[zyxwut]

Georgetown is many things, I don't think it's been "hip" in generations. 😂
