Welcome to Georgetown Law! If you’ve brought a smart phone with you, you might be interested in downloading a few new apps that will help you acclimate to DC. 

TBD (available for iPhone | Android) is an aggregator for local news, weather, commute info, and sports.  Use the Metrorail section to check on the service status of your line before you board, and then the station list to see when the next train will arrive. The traffic area will warn you about delays on many of the major DC, Virginia, and Maryland roads.

OpenTable (available for BlackBerry |Android |iPhone) allows you to find a nearby restaurant and book a table instantly. 

The DC government has a page devoted to DC-related apps.  It includes apps that will help you find out where to park before you go, a wi-fi hot spot map, and a crime mapping tool.

Congress (available for Android) has recent votes, nominations, bills, and laws as well as detailed info about legislators such as their voting records, sponsored bills, and committee assignments.  Congress+ is a similar app for the iPhone, but will cost you $4.99.
