Georgetown
Georgetown trades on permanence. The brick sidewalks on O and P Streets, the C&O Canal towpath, the Federal townhouses around 30th and N. None of it is going anywhere, which makes it the rare DC date where the setting carries weight on its own. Walk the towpath, drinks at The Sovereign in Cady's Alley, dinner at Chez Billy Sud or Fiola Mare on the waterfront. Tradeoffs: M Street on Saturday is tourists and undergrads, parking is a tax, and the Metro never made it here. For a first date where you want the place to do some talking, Georgetown earns it.
