The Comic and Card Collectorama has been in business in Del Ray for over 25 years – likely because the owner is so, so helpful! In addition to classic comic books, collector cards and autographed photos, this jam-packed shop also features exotic plants (including Venus fly Traps) and novelty joke items. A fun shop – so packed that it’s a little tough to navigate – but the staff can help you find just about everything!

Five Oaks is a wonderful antique shop located in Del Ray, featuring a wide variety of dealers. Many fabulous finds – from stained glass windows to furniture to china to linens and too many other things to name. Also be sure to visit Potomac West Antiques (at the other end of Mt. Vernon Avenue, less than a mile away) – another fabulous shop.

Great Beginnings has the best selection of nursery and children's furniture in the DC area! Extremely knowledgeable and helpful staff... but visit and order furniture early, as orders can take months! Also has a wide selection of other baby gear... a great place to compare car seats, try out gliders, and test drive strollers. Definitely worth the trip!

The guys at Spokes Etc. sure do know their stuff!! Spokes Etc. carries top-of-the-line bicycles, gear, and accessories. They are a little more pricey than other bike shops in the area – though a visit here would be well worth the time (and money) for future Lance Armstrongs out there who are serious about bicycling!

(Though I am a little impartial; my husband & I had our first date here -- so, needless to say, I think it's an excellent date spot!)

I live in DC, and needed a bridesmaid dress altered for my best friend's wedding in Orlando... Sew and Tell altered my dress just THREE DAYS before the wedding (they came highly recommended by friends), she did an absolutely amazing job -- and even with the rush job, it cost less than HALF of what the bridal shop estimated. And, if I went with the bridal shop, I would have had to have had the dress shipped out to DC and had altered done here, or have made an extra trip to Orlando -- as they required at least three weeks to get the job done. I can't recommend Sew and Tell highly enough!!!!
