City/town information

A busy, historic district along the Potomac, Old Town is marked by cobblestone streets and 18th-century townhouses. George Washington slept at Gadsby’s Tavern, one of the many small museums in the area. Another is Stabler-Leadbeater Apothecary, opened in 1783. Indie boutiques and foodie spots line King Street, and there are open-air eateries by the river. The Saturday farmers' market has been operating for 260 years.

In a revamped 18th-century granary, this hip tavern offers elevated pub grub & a lively bar scene. My #1 Old Town go-to, but upstairs or outside only👍🏻

Café 44 is a fantastic eatery situated along the waterfront, located on the 4th floor of an office building, so only locals know about it. Their house-made dishes, specialty coffees, craft cocktails, but most importantly, the panoramic view of the Potomac River makes it a must!

Located feet away from Georgie's Place around the corner, this homey neighborhood staple has a cozy dining room & patio seating serving Greek comfort food. Fun fact! Vaso’s was at one time Dixie Pig, a BBQ haven, and it’s neon signs remain as historic landmarks.
