Good to know
- Parking
- Georgetown has no Metro station: Foggy Bottom-GWU (Orange, Blue and Silver lines) is the nearest, roughly a 15-minute walk to M Street, and Rosslyn and Dupont Circle are 20–30 minutes on foot. The Washington Harbour garage at 3000 K St NW (entrance on K St between 30th and Thomas Jefferson St, run by Colonial Parking) is closest to lower Wisconsin and M; Design Within Reach and Blu Dot note street and garage parking around Cady's Alley. The DC Circulator stopped running after Dec 31, 2024; its Georgetown–Union Station route was folded into a Metrobus route along H and I Streets.
