Founded in 1789, this prestigious Jesuit University is know far and wide for its medical, legal, and undergraduate programs.

A beautiful Federal style architectural building in the heart of a tree-lined section of the neighborhood. The garden is exquisite with hidden corners, immaculate lawns and beautiful rose bushes. The building itself housed generations of the Martha Washington branch of the family and is filled with stories and local lore.

Stop At: Old Stone House, 3051 M St NW, Washington DC, DC 20007-3702
Certainly one of the oldest buildings in the entire city, this quaint spot is run by the National Parks Service and has a lovely garden to sit and take a rest in. Built in 1766, it was a car dealership by 1953 when it was taken over for historic preservation. Now it is ours to enjoy and remember a simpler time when tobacco and tall tales traded at the nearby port.
Duration: 10 minutes
Stop At: Martin's Tavern, 1264 Wisconsin Ave NW, Washington, DC 20007, USA
A Georgetown institution, this restaurant has been locally owned since 1933. The dark wood panels, black and white photos on the wall, and the regulars at the bar give this place a certain sense of nostalgia and ambiance. The classic American fare keeps people coming back year after year with both indoor and outdoor seating
