I can't think of a single person who doesn't like attending shows held by the National Symphony Orchestra. My father has been taking me to see them since I was a little girl, and I've always loved them.
I love going to the shows with guest musicians, since it makes it seem like a different group each time. I highly recommend NSO to everyone!

Good turn around time
I have three pairs of pants that need alterations and was happy that I could have the items returned on the same day and not having to wait an eternity for the return of my clothes is amazing. I do this often because I cant buy paints that don't need to be shortened.

This is an old-school camera shop. They develop great pictures, but if you drop them off one minute late they won't accept them. You have to be on the ball with these people. But once they get your film they do a great job. Also, they are very helpful when you are buying a camera. They also gave me great advice on where to find a photo lab I could rent out for personal use.

I'm not a big fan of Bach (his music depresses me), but the Consort does a very good job during their performances. The conductor is great and always puts together a fantastic group of singers. The ticket prices seem a bit high to me, although if I liked the music better it might be okay. Tickets were $40 a piece last time I checked. Of course, that was a few years ago, so the prices have probably gone up since then!

Friendship is a tip-top operation -- almost. Its fairly new building near the Tenleytown metro station is sleek, clean and modern. It's organized. An online service reminds you when your pet needs to come in for a check up or vaccinations. And there is a mail newsletter and a sophisticated website as well. My only beef with Friendship is that not all of the staff are well-versed enough in bedside manner. When my last cat was dying (unbeknownst to me), I spent an awful week taking her back and forth to Friendship. One vet barely spoke to me and offered vague answers to my questions. Another told me my cat was going to be OK, yet didn't seem to be familiar with her history. Finally, on a day when she was clearly deteriorating, I raced her to Friendship - again. Fortunately, the vet on duty was very kind and told me the truth -- that she had a few hours to live. She helped me through the whole painful process and, when my cat did pass away on her own about an hour later, let me take as much time as I needed to be with her. When I got a new kitten sometime later, I was lucky enough to have another kind and smart vet for her first checkup. My advice....do patronize Friendship, but find a vet that you like and stick with that one. Ask for that one in particular when you make appointments. Otherwise, you may wind up with some smart yet insensitive twit who is better suited to laboratory work.

I used to go to Sun Park regularly when I lived in the neighborhood and I was so glad to see that, even though the area was quickly gentrifying around it, Sun Park survived -- expanded, even, to a larger, nice space down the street. Service is quick and good and they won't ruin your clothes. They do a great job at tailoring too....more than just taking up pants, but really tailoring. The prices are decent, and the staff is very friendly.

More mature than some of the other clubs. Nice music, nice atmosphere (except for the smoke - good grief!) Drinks are pretty good - overall, not bad for a club since it is not overrun by the young folks. More for the grown and sexy and not the hot and nasty.
