"If you want to see what DC was like a couple hundred years ago, head to 1789 in Georgetown. The restored Federalist-style building with slender hallways and doorways so low even your shortest friend will have to duck through are reminiscent of a time long ago. While the space can feel a little tight, the portions here are huge—finishing the juicy, football-sized pork chop will require a Fred Flintstone appetite. If you’re looking for an upscale dinner that’s on the more affordable end, this is your place." - tristiana hinton, allison robicelli
