A Story of Nathans of Georgetown, Georgetown Oral History Program.

 

Everybody who went to Nathans has a story. Here's mine, as its owner by a twist of fate, and as told to the Citizens Assocaition of Georgetown Georgetown Oral History Program. Nathans, open from 1969 to 2009 at Wisconsin and M Streets NW, was an important piece of Washington, DC saloon history, some true, some apocryphal, all wild.
