Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

In the area surrounding GW’s campus, there are several convenient and casual restaurants including Chipotle, Cosi, and T.G.I. Friday’s. There are also dozens of places that accept Colonial Cash. Many different kinds of tasty food can be found at restaurants in Georgetown and Dupont Circle. Filomena, in Georgetown, offers homemade pastas and other delicious Italian food. Levante’s is great for Middle Eastern cuisine. The Daily Grill on Connecticut Avenueoffers fresh meats, fish, and pastas. Penang, in Dupont, serves delicious Malaysian cuisine. Georgetown offers an eclectic mix of American, Chinese, French, Indian, Vietnamese, and other cuisine. A fun place for late-night weekend eats is Kramerbooks and Afterwords, a 24-hour coffee shop and bookstore that serves desserts as well as entrees late into the night. Other than K&A, however, late-night eating options are definitely lacking on and around campus.

Washington’s restaurant scene only adds to GW’s exceptional local atmosphere. For students without a meal plan, outside restaurants are just as convenient as on-campus options. Most students who live off-campus go out to lunch and dinner or order in pretty regularly, while those who are on a meal plan usually eat at restaurants where they can use their meal plan during the week and venture off-campus on the weekend. Restaurants may be expensive, but with so many choices, everyone is sure to find a local favorite.

Good Food, but Expensive

Many good restaurants exist near GW, but the good food comes at a price. Happy hour deals can be found and help with costs. Dupont Circle is a 15 min walk from campus and offers and wider choice of dinner and price options. U St., which is a 25 min walk from campus, has interesting restaurants and good happy hour deals.

Off-Campus Dining

Overall most of the dining options are reasonably priced but there are the exceptions. There are many options close to campus with a lot of variety. There are many different sandwich places.

Everything You Need

GW is right in the heart of DC, meaning that all of DC's great restaurants are blocks away. You can find any type of food you want, and healthy options are increasing by leaps and bounds. You don't even have to travel anymore; restaurants come to you! GW campus is the center of the food truck craze.
