Hello, dc.dining readers.  Each year, the New Student Orientation 
staff at Georgetown puts together a guide for new students.  This 
guide, the Hoya Handbook, has a section on eating out, complete with
one line reviews, phone numbers and addresses of their favorite places 
to eat--from McDonald's in Rosslyn to Sequoia.  Not every restaurant 
is included--only the restaurants this year's group of students 
wanted.

You have permission to reproduce this guide for non-commercial uses
provided that the 1994 Hoya Handbook, a publication of the New Student
Orientation Staff at Georgetown University, is credited.  I evenutally
hope to put the guide on the GU gopher server.

Dining Out
------------------------------------------------------------------
While at Georgetown, this guide will help you explore your tastes
for everything from traditional American fare to the foods of the
Far East.  Most of the restaurants are within walking distance of
the campus, but some are further.  We're sure that all of them
are worth the trip.  We have listed these restaurants
alphabetically for your convenience.  We have also included a
list of Restaurants by Cultural Flavor, and a list of our staff
favorites.  So go out...eat well...and if you're lazy, we have
included a list of restaurants that deliver in the Georgetown
area.
