Huge super malls like this are becoming more and more rare…read more This one is massive - with about 4 floors and dozens of stores. It's impressive to see and walk around in and has almost every store and type of food you could want. I enjoyed Nordstrom, Dumplings, Ice Cream, White House Black Market, Macy's, Lululemon, etc. etc. They have all the usual chains (Victoria's Secret....) but some other boutique stores as well. Huge food court on the lowest level and a private entrance into the Ritz Carlton which is attached to the building. Super convenient if you are staying at the hotel, as I did, and I was here every day to people watch, get snacks, or just to walk the levels and get some exercise.

Formerly Harry's Tap Room - now a steak house, Not a successful transition…read more First, you have a huge open door onto the kitchen that pours out fluorescent light toward certain seats (not many - but mine). If most of your menu is $30 steaks you should do better. I got a chopped salad that was the crunchiest I ever encountered - so heavy on carrot and radish pieces that I ate less than half. I got the short bib meat hamburger medium - supposedly some pink in the middle. It was overdone, dry, and tasteless. Returning it would have meant spending much more of the evening there. My wife had salmon - it was fine but if you're going to be paying these prices there are much more interesting salmon dishes around town. Maybe the steaks are really good but I'll leave it to others to find out.

Now within weeks drove in, and was warned by sign of a license plate reader, (ok DCA has but also expedites w a CC) and the kiosk would not issue ticket without a phone number input. NOPE. At some point you would have to open a QR code and populate an app similar I would guess to Park Mobile. Don't need another stupid parking app thank you. I want to Park My Car, and have no intention of sharing my phone number to do it. Luckily there was no on behind me and I backed out. Same situation with the previously metered spots in the "horseshoe" parking area out front. Found that out when I wanted to pay to park in front of Apple Store and the sign directed me to QR code and fill out all your personal info. NOPE. Unlikely to return, it's too crowded, parking a pain, and nothing so special I have to shop at Market Commons in Clarendon.

I got a fresh-squeezed orange juice from one of the shops and it was amazing--super fresh, all natural, and full of pulp. I also noticed a really nice plant shop that looked like it doubles as a florist. There's plenty of seating outside, which makes it great to grab food and relax on a nice day. Selection is great, and the experience overall is very lively and interesting. Prices are a little on the higher side, but still fair for the variety and quality you get. Definitely worth a visit!

There are lots of hand-made craft and unique gift items (ramen stall, truffle stall, cat & dog stalls, as well as plenty of jewelry, chocolate, candle, toys, ornament, and crafts stalls). I bought a Ramen bowl from Japan for hubby, Truffle butter @ Truffist, and dark chocolate Oreos (the dark chocolate pretzels aren't that good) @Capital City Jar, kudos for being a long-time vendor! I also got an overpriced $40 onesie @SOL, the material was very soft and made in the U.S. In terms of the hot chocolate stalls, the Truffle stall and the S'mores N More are my favorite. The Marshmallows are gigantic and should have mixed them in! I got a pack of 6 marshmallows and picked out the flavors - Rainbow, Cookies and Cream, and Toffee Marshmallows. The Racklette sandwich was delicious - you must try it! It was so fascinating to watch the melty swiss cheese get scooped off the big truckle cheese wheel and sandwiches into a soft baguette roll. The Churros with Dulce Leche filling are a must - I always get the every year! Kudos for being a long-time vendor! The Dirty Habit Chalet boozy is a bit gimmicky. I paid $17 for Whiskey and Cider, I wish it was served warm and the service was lukewarm. The air-fried Gnocchi from Carmine's was a complete miss and a total disappointment. The Gnocchi lacked the crispy edges and pillowy soft juicy center. The texture was completely off from the air fryer. Excited to go back next year for some more gifts and delicious goodies and sweet treats!

Since I have moved to the area, each year I tell myself that I am going to stop at the Holiday…read moreMarket. And each year I always end up bypassing it because after a long day at work, the last thing I want to do is be jammed in with a bunch of other people going from booth to booth. I finally took the time to visit here and probably picked one of the worst times to visit, during a hockey game. With the influx of people coming into the area for the game and the arena right there, it made navigating to and through a nightmare. The downside here, and it is probably the only downside, are the amounts of other people. They will do one of two things. One, forget about their awareness to where they are. By this I mean that they will forget they are not the only person here at the holiday market. Two, the other people will either push you along, or walk at a glacial pace. Jamming up crosswalks and entrances to the main area. Two things you cannot control and you just have to go with the flow here. I will say it is lively and welcoming. Once you do make it into the stall area you will have to take your time to sift through what there is to offer. From gifts to food, you can find it all here. Live music is a usual draw as well which lends to the magical feel that you are in the middle of a DC street and don't have to worry about a thing. All of the vendors are local, so this is a big shop small venue. Offering you everything you can think of as a gift for a special somebody. Definitely worth a look around the holiday season.

The random tables in the common areas seem to be hangouts for loiterers so keep that in mind.

It's an old building, attached to the Rosslyn Metro station. It has a dark and run down feel to it, and really not much to offer in the way of actual shopping. However, for those who live or work in Rosslyn, you get used to the dinginess of it and the hobos that incessantly loiter in the public restrooms on the second floor and around the first floor open seating. (Note: Avoid the 2nd floor public restrooms at all costs, unless you enjoy watching less fortunate individuals bathe themselves). Skywalk Cafe is on the 2nd level -- not a bad weight-and-pay restaurant for those who are feeling indecisive and want some buffet style food (mostly Asian). There's a Rite-Aid which is honestly the shining star of this "mall." And a Panera just opened on the first floor (Yay). Theres some other odds and ends stores around like a constantly empty women's clothing boutique (I frankly do not understand how it is still in business), a cute little jeweler (M&J Jeweler), a barbershop that appears to be stuck in the 50's, and some Bank of America ATMs. No need to come here unless you live/work in the vicinity or need to kill time by the metro.
