Sit in comfy seats watching a new run movie while drinking your favorite beer. How much can it get? If your significant other is dragging you to a movie you don't want to see, suggest to see it here. It's so much more than a movie cinema. You also don't have to worry about crying babies in the movies either (at least I hope people have more common sense than bringing a child here)

I recommend buying tickets online (try Fandango) before going to Bethesda Row Cinema- we didn't and had to wait for a later showing of the movie we wanted to see. This was not terrible, since the theater is in downtown Bethesda and there are tons of restaurants, bars and coffee shops to keep you occupied.
The theater itself is nice. It was relatively clean and had stadium seating, which is a plus. We didn't buy food or drinks, but it looked like average fare. The movie selection is pretty good- many new releases are usually playing.

Glen Echo Hardware has a convenient locaiton, and average prices. Nothing distinguishes it from the others; it is average. It is a hardware store. The staff are reasonably knowledgeable fro the most part, and the selection of "stuff" is generally good, as is cutting, etc. service. Bruce Variey is better, obviously, but this is fine.

I highly recommend Elan Artists Musicians and Bands. My brother used them at his wedding and everyone raved about the music. They have a variety of different bands to choose from and each one seemed impressive. The staff was really helpful in guiding my brother towards the right choice for him. The band itself was reliable and fully met its contractual obligations. Breaks were kept to a minimum and they played music the entire time we had requested. They are pricey but no more than other live bands are in the area.

India School is a wonderful place to learn languages, music, or dance. Classes usually take place on Sunday and/or weekday evenings, so they are very convenient. Teachers offer different levels, so all ages from children to adults can participate. This is a very good place to learn about the different artistic expressions of India and to learn about other cultures. Classes include those in tabla, vocal music, keyboard, Hindi, movie dances, bhangra, etc. Exercise using Indian dance is becoming very popular!

Whenever I walk into the Olsson's in Bethesda, I feel like the store is empty. There generally aren't that many people there, but what I mean is more to do with the shelves and the layout of the store. There just seems to be a lot of empty space. Their selection of books is somewhat limited for some reason and the cd section is only about three (long) shelves. They have all of the new books and some of the classics, they just don't have as many as you are going to find at the chains or even at the other Olsson's in the area. Prices are about the same as area stores, although sales are better at the big chains in terms of when new books come out with reduced prices.

More
This is a very well regarded store that specializes in stringed musical instruments--violin, violas, cellos, basses. The staff is extremely knowledgeable, but it helps to ask for the person who specializes in your instrument. Dalton Potter is the owner and quite knowledgeable about everything (if you are lucky enough to catch him in.) They have an excellent rental shop which provides 100 percent credit of the rent towards the purchase price. You can trade up (either in size or quality) quite easily. They will special order things for you. I was extremely pleased with the service I received when I was looking for a new bow.
The biggest negative is the size of the shop. Even though it is in two different buildings, the space is quite limited and feels extremely crowded. It is not comfortable to be in there when there are more than 3 customers. I feel like I am going to bump into an instrument or knock something off a shelf. I usually call first to ensure it is not to crowded and I avoid it when school starts. They are closed on Sundays and Mondays.
