Lonely Planet review

The Georgetown Waterfront is a favorite with first-daters, singles, strolling families and yuppies and bling-clad rappers showing off yachts in the Potomac. Between K St and the water south of the C&O Canal, it's home to parkland, shops, lofts and restaurants. Washington Harbor (east of 31st St) is a modern complex of towers around a plaza with fountains that light up like rainbows at night. It's loaded with restaurants and al fresco bars.

The waterfront on either side has been budgeted by the National Park Service to be turned into Georgetown Waterfront Park, an around US$15 -million project still in the planning phase.
