Georgetown part 2 and dinner at 1789

We found a cab quickly and were able to zip back to Georgetown with plenty of time to spare for a dinner reservation. We poked around at a couple different places and found a really nice food hall.  Nothing like signing a great food Hall when you already have dinner reservations. Nevertheless we got a couple of drinks, relaxed and waited for the time where we can go have dinner.  We walked over through Georgetown to the restaurant and sat outside for 15 minutes until they opened up. 1789 is a very Swanky restaurant that was founded by some Georgetown alumni. That is the significance of the number 1789 which is the year that Georgetown was founded. 13 of the last 15 presidents have dined there. The Veep was at our table only last week.
