It was just last year that GM noted all the ways that Citypaper loved Georgetown.  Our neighborhood was all over their 2009 staffers’ listings:

• Second Best Bakery – Pattiserie Poupon
• Second Best Beer Menu – Off the menu choices at Birreria Paradiso
• Best Frozen Yogurt – T-Sweets (way to fend off all the fro-yo-come-latelys T-Sweet!)
• Best Salt Bagel – Georgetown Bagelry
• Best Wine List – Citronelle
• Best Cupcake – Georgetown Cupcake
• Second Best Cupcake – Baked & Wired
• Best and Second Best Jazz Venue – Blues Alley (read it to explain)
• Best Absurd Window Display – Juicy Couture
• Second Best Absurd Window Display – American Apparel

• Second Best Place to Buy Clothing to Make You Look Like a Cupcake – Betsey Johnson
• Second Best Place to Ignore the Recession – Hu’s Shoes

How’d we do this year? Not so hot, it’s basically just pizza and wine:

• Best Macaroon – Patisserie Poupon
• Best New Late – Night Pizza Now That Philly P’s is Closed – Tuscany Cafe
• Best New Pizza – Il Canale
• Best Sommelier – Kathy Morgan at Citronelle
• Best Wine List – Citronelle
• Best Place to Pine After Fashionable Men’s Clothing – Lost Boys

Yeah, a lot of the categories are just excuses to talk about things they like, but couldn’t they come up with a few more for Georgetown? How about:

• Best New Place to Find the Republican Shadow Government Drinking – George
• Best Pretty-Damn-Close-to-Trademark Violation – IceBerry
• Best Town-Gown Civil War Brewing – GU’s Ten Year Plan
• Best Cafe that Has the Guts to Try and Sell Food While Constantly Showing Skinny Models on the TV – Cafe Puro
• Best “Going-Out-Of-Business Sale” That Was Actually a Real Going Out of Business Sale, Until It Wasn’t – Commander Salamander
