WHERE: Olive Street NW


Quite possibly the prettiest street in Washington runs just three blocks from 27th Street NW to 30th Street NW. Olive Street is a narrow, tree-lined row of Federal style town homes, most no higher than two stories, and one former schoolhouse that has been converted to residences. The street abuts Rose Park at one end and a lovely residential block of 30th Street NW at the other, making it a picture-perfect sliver of Georgetown’s East Village. And few streets can boast better connections to the culinary world: both Julia Child and Ina Garten lived on Olive Street NW!
