Good morning Georgetown, here’s the latest:

• Georgetown Waterfront among the best spots for a picnic in DC (if you happen to go back in time today, don’t mention this fact to a local, their head will explode).
• A food truck company bought Shanghai Lounge (GM went recently. The food is the same, which is to say decently good Chinese food. Although GM still misses Arisu).

Good morning Georgetown, here’s the latest:

• Capitol Prague Cafe (the new coffee shop occupying the old Morso Express space, and the older Fetoosh Express) is now open. The main restaurant section is due to open soon, although GM hears not much has been done on the procedural side to get the liquor license back up and running.
• Speaking of coffee, if you want to drink a lot of coffee and burn some of the caffeine off on the bike, this coffee bike crawl (including Baked and Wired) may be for you (shouldn’t it be bike roll?)

Good morning Georgetown, here’s the latest:

• If the idea is to get more student parties on campus, these photos from Georgetown Day tell GM that they’ve got a lot of work to do. How incredibly staid is that? They look about as wild as a Sunday tea party.
• The Powerhouse on Grace St. is really starting to become a go-to venue for splashy parties now that Western Development cleared out.
