What Does Georgetown Taste Like?

As part of my survey on Georgetown establishments, I always like to parse out the various cuisines at the restaurants around the neighborhood. And so above is that chart.

As was the case last time, “American” still leads the way. Last time “Sweets” came in second. And if I were to group them all together like that again, they would still be in second. But this time I decided to break them out.

French now comes in second, and shows an uptick from 8.5% to 9.7%. In truth, Italian would be second if I grouped all the pizza places with the general Italian. But I decided not to do that.

Japanese was another big gainer, going from 4.6% to 6.7%. In nominal terms it’s a jump from 6 to 9 (reflecting to sushi boom we’ve been having).

All in all, you can get cuisines from just about every corner of the globe around Georgetown these days. Bon Appetite!

    Topher: This is a fascinating roundup. Thanks. But what’s with the insert picture? It’s clever, yes, given the low ranking of non-pizza Italian restaurants in your chart, but for me, who has Italian roots, it has more than a whiff of stereotype. Curious to know where you got the pic…. Thanks Sidney

    @SidneyLawrence, the inset pic is a somewhat popular screen grab from The Sopranos television show.
