Set smack in the heart of Geor-
getown, the Graham occupies the intersection between stately tradition and modernist
hip. Rooms have tasteful floral prints and duochrome furnishings with geometric accents.
Even the most basic rooms have linens by Liddell Ireland and Bvlgari White Tea bath
amenities, which means you'll be as fresh, clean and beautiful as the surrounding Geor-
getown glitterati.
Eating
As you might expect of one of the world's most international cities, DC has an eclectic
palate, with a superb array of restaurants serving Ethiopian, Indian, Southeast Asian,
French, Italian and more, plus good old-fashioned Southern fare. Annoyingly, this is an
expensive town to eat out in; cheap options are rare and midrange dining options can be
poor value for money. Well, unless you follow our recommendations, that is.

Baked & Wired is a cheery little Geor-

fine spot to join students in both real and virtual chatter (free wi-fi, of course).

This airy, Zenlike teahouse feels a world away from the shopping may-
hem of Georgetown's M St. Stop in for a pot of rare tea (more than 70 varieties).
CCC also serves steamed dumplings, sweets and simple but flavorful three-course
lunches ($30).
