Between classes, clubs and internships, how will I even find the time to eat? This
thought crossed my mind when I first arrived at campus, but luckily, there are tons of
great options on and off Georgetown’s campus perfect for quick eats and group sit-
down dinners.

This week, I spotlighted some stand-out meals I had—covering the iconic Leo J.
O’Donovan Dining Hall (Leo’s), Epicurean & Company, the weekly community farmer’s
market and more. I’ll give you a firsthand look at the variety of food options Georgetown
has to offer and a few of my personal favorite spots.

Beyond simple nutrition, I really appreciate how Georgetown dining facilitates
community. Some of the greatest conversations I’ve had on campus began by sitting
next to a friend I coincidentally happened to see at Leo’s. Not to mention, celebrating a
friend’s birthday at one of my many fantastic restaurants in the neighborhood is always
the highlight of my week.

Anyways, whether you’re an incoming freshman trying to figure out your go-to lunch
spots or just curious about the day-to-day eats of a Georgetown student, this video’s for
you.
