Georgetown
In Washington, D.C. the neighborhood of Georgetown is home to Georgetown University and a bustling shopping section with boutiques, ice cream shops, and restaurants. Historic houses line nearby streets. The oldest house in D.C, the Old Stone House is right on M Street, the main thoroughfare for many boutiques and restaurants. While upscale chain stores are omnipresent, there are a few unique local shops and small chain stores located in this bustling section of Georgetown. Walking south on Wisconsin Ave. leads to the Georgetown Waterfront Park along the Potomac River. Walking north up Wisconsin Ave. brings you to Book Hill and a collection of independent shops, galleries and antique stores.
The Wharf
The Wharf is DC's newest day trip destination, bringing famous restaurants, new shops, and beautiful waterfront views together in one place.
National Mall
The long, grassy National Mall is home to iconic monuments including the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument. At the eastern end is the domed U.S. Capitol, and the White House is to the north. It's also flanked by Smithsonian museums, and its lawns and pathways are often crowded with school groups, joggers and softball teams. Nearby, the Tidal Basin reservoir is known for its blossoming cherry trees.
