Where does the modern "Georgetown set" live and socialize?

Are you 85 years old, OP?!

Stuff like 20 people, drinks and heavy appetizers, and someone does a talk with Q&A in a living room. Sit down dinners tend to be at homes with staff, including embassy officials.

lol no, if the event features “a talk” and q&a, that is not the kind of thing OP is talking about. I knew a group of people who would do that and they were tedious and not influential.

I’ve attended two brunch gatherings as a guest of a friend, but it’s a pretty closed loop. From what I experienced: very fun group, respectfully bipartisan with a lean to the left, bright, successful, and very unassuming. Variety of ages, youngest was mid 30s, oldest early 60s. Mozza and Apero are both popular in that set, but they seem to socialize more at each other’s homes.

The last sentence is what lets me know this poster isn’t actually amongst these people. Mozza is a fairly new tourist trap in Georgetown and Apero is just bad. Nice try.

I thought the poster just meant the group likes mozzarella cheese and before dinner drinks.

As a GT local, I would hardly characterize Mozza is a tourist trap. Mozza is definitely frequented by many locals. LBV is also a popular spot amongst locals along with a thriving local scene at the Georgetown Club. The modern Georgetown crowd is surprisingly diverse and family friendly. Not at all what I anticipated before moving here in 2023.
