Every time I've been to Paul's, I've had some great conversations with the staff. They're definitely helpful when picking out a good bottle of wine or liquor for gift-giving. I don't know much about wine and liquor, besides their effects on me; so their advice is always welcome. They also have a (really) small selection of beers.

Visiting the Eastern Market is such a fun thing to do on a nice summer weekend. There are tons of local vendors setting up shop here. You can find anything from wine glasses to furniture to second-hand books to amazing art, all at affordable prices. It's a great taste of what DC's got to offer.

The Foggy Bottom Grocery is definitely for the kids of GW and not so much the local residents. They have a small selection of typical dorm staples, like mac and cheese, gatorade, and beer. It's pretty small and cramped; if there's more than just you there, it can get tough to navigate through. But the prices are good and if you're in this area, it's perfect to grab something quick. Also, I really like the family that runs it; it's easy to become a familiar regular with them.

Rodman's has a great and surprisingly large selection of both wine and beer. They often have a wine tasting set up on weekends, complete with a connoisseur to tell you what's what. They also have a chiller available on site. There's plenty of parking available in back, but it can get crowded on the weekends.

Secondi is a great place to find some elegant (for lack of a better word) clothes at incredibly affordable prices. The staff is nice and helpful, but they give you your space while you browse. And be sure to do plenty of browsing; there's tons of finds in here. That would be my only complaint: with so much to look through, you need to set aside a lot of time to enjoy it!

I love Anthropologie! From the window displays straight to the cash register, I love it all. They flaunt a classic feminine style with a modern flare. Their clothes will make you look as sexy and beautiful as you are without taking away your comfort and sensibility. I just wish I could afford to shop there more often.

Sure, I'm not sure there's much competition if any, but this is the best baby store I've found in DC. The clothes are just adorable... but then again, what baby clothes aren't? The toys are classic, fun and safe. This place popped up just as my neice did. It was meant to be. That one missing star is due to the typical Georgetown prices. Perfect places are hard to come by.

Lambda Rising is a great little bookstore in Dupont Circle, with a focus on the gay and lesbian community. Besides a multitude of books, they carry a good selection of other stuff, including dvds, cds, magazines and novelty gift items. The staff is very friendly, helpful and always seem to be having a good time. I'm not too familiar with this aspect, but it's my understanding that the store does a lot of community outreach, too.

Proper Topper is a nice little shop that offers some clothing, accessories, jewelry, hats, and more. It's a great place to pick up a gift: they've got cards, books, and plenty of knick knacks and novelty items. The staff is friendly and not in your face, despite the cramped space of this location. The prices can be a bit high for these types of items. But it's definitely worth a visit.

Expressions, the women's clothing store in 2000 Penn that's not the Gap, is a kind of strange place. For one thing, they take up two spaces across the hall from each other. As far as I can tell, one area carries more business-like attire while the other carries more evening-wear type clothes, along with shoes. Their window displays always intrigue me, but once I go in, I can rarely find something I'd want to buy. The style is trendy, but it seems like the type of trendy that an older woman would try to pull off when trying to look younger. I keep going back, though, and every once in a while, I find something good.
