This great bike shop in Adams Morgan is my favorite biking store in Washington DC. If you are a professional or a novice this is the best place because of the amazing selection and knowledge of their employees. This store doesn’t only sell bikes, if you are need any accessories they are fully loaded.

We found Tiny Jewel Box when my now husband and I were searching for our wedding bands. We visited many jewelers in the DC area and didn't find quite the right jewelery and/or atmosphere. Tiny Jewel Box is nestled on Connecticut Avenue and offers the nicest selection of rings and their packaging and presentation is unbeatable. The prices are on par with the other stores but the service and local nature of the business made this store very attractive to us.

This zoo is HUGE, but it's also free so you can not feel at all guilty taking it in one bit at a time. If you're visiting DC and will only have one day to see the entire zoo, be prepared for a looong day.
The zoo is pretty convenient to the metro, but be prepared to climb 4-5 blocks up a pretty steep hill to get to the entrance. There's a nice visitor information center/ gift shop at the entrance. The park is well marked, so it's easy to find your favorite animals. There are a couple of food facilities, but when I went on a weekday in May most of them were closed. The food is standard zoo fare, and pretty expensive. I saw many people eating their own food at the picnic tables, so if you can carry it in I recommend that.

One of my favorite places in DC! It's a combination cafe, bar and independent bookstore. Unlike some cafe/bookshops, the food is creatively prepared and delicious. Check out the basil shrimp pasta and the incredibly decadent brownie sundae. The crowd tends to be a friendly mix of young and old, heavy on locals and yuppies with many reading their new purchases over a class of wine on the outdoor patio.

The uptown is an institution in washington dc. It is a old, grand theater in the style that hollywood is founded on. It had big red velvet curtains and a balcony of seats. True, it has gotten a little run down over the years, the seats are not in the best nick, and the floor is usually a little bit too sticky. Still, there is nothing like watching Star Wars or Lawrence of Arabia on that big huge screen.

This is a one of a kind museum, with a lot of information on espionage. The tickets are slight expensive. Of course, they do provide a lot of information and visuals. They can have more sit-down visuals, rather then standing up and reading displays. Its a lot of information for one day.
I recommend this place, but come early and wear good, supportive shoes.
Customers aren't allowed to take pictures inside. Ofcourse, there is vent inside the museum, which customers are allowed in, and if you can't resist, you can take a picture there.

I’m a big fan of Hudson Trail Outfitters (HTO) because of their wide selection and reasonable prices. This store specialized in gear and supplies for outdoor activities. I’m an outdoor enthusiast so I frequent this store often to purchase items for my biking and kayaking needs. It is amazing the amount of products they have. The only negative is sometimes it is hard to find a store representative if you have a question, but they always have an answer it is sometimes difficult to track one down.

I love Phillip's. I would eat there several times a week if I could. The only entrée I've had, and the one that seems to be the most popular, is the lavish and generous seafood buffet. Everything you could want is here....crab legs, shrimp, paella, great desserts...and you can come back for more as often as you like. When I've been here, I've managed to eat until I couldn't anymore. The only drawback is that some nights the line for a table is way, WAY out the door. And they don't take reservations. Also, parking is at a premium in this waterfront neighborhood. Unless you like driving around in circles for half an hour until a space opens up, prepare to spend some money for parking. Luckily, Philip's has its own pay garage in this neighborhood, where the other garages tend to fill up with the cars of patrons from nearby nightclubs. The atmosphere is crowded and friendly...a good place to come with a group of people. The enclosed patio is very pleasant and a bit quieter than the main restaurant.
