Saw this as my first official landmark/historical building in DC and I actually had to stop and stare at this building for a little bit since the first thought in my head was like, WOAH! That's a pretty old looking building and it's huge. Reminiscent of an old mansion you'd imagine from the colonial times; the building is still very grand and stately looking and you can tell that it's maintained and repaired very well. Everything is very reflective looking and no one is standing in front of this gated building at all. Not a lot of tourists since many people usually wander over to the White House instead.

Alright you can probably get a review of someone taking pictures of the building, but what about a review of the inside? What about the cafeteria food? Where you gonna see that review? Right here baby. Check yo self before you wreck yo self. So first question anyone is going to ask is: how the hell do you get in there? Well basically you need to know someone who works in the federal government, preferably in the Executive branch. I leave it to you to do this part. You'll need to go through security as usual. Once inside what can you do? Well there is a cafeteria there. They have the typical assortment of sandwiches, salads, burgers, etc. I ordered the Smoked Jack sandwich on whole wheat. It had bacon, avocado, cheese, and a bunch of other crap. Actually it was pretty tasty for cafeteria food. No complaints. What else can you do in this buckwild giant ass office building near the White House? Go bowling son! That's right, the White House bowling alley is located in the basement of this beast. You'll walk down a hall full of hanging exposed pipes. It's real power plant stuff down there. And then boom! You're in the Harry Truman bowling alley, baby. I hope you know how to score this mad game because it doesn't have those automatic machines. It's got two lanes and the absolutely swankiest bowling shoes you have ever seen. They are no joke. I want a pair just to wear out, they are that baller. After you're done, you can leave the compound by using the entrance that faces Lafayette Park. If there are tourists there they will be amazed at you leaving the White House! You may feel superior at this time.

What's prettier than the White House, the Monument, the Lincoln Memorial and the Smithsonian put…read moretogether? Yes, Ariana Grande is a good answer, but I was looking for the Executive Office on 17th St! A long time ago, the love of my life used to say that this building was the highlight of her trips to DC, and I can see why. I remember walking with her in the pouring rain next to it, and taking pictures of her exposing herself in front of it. Times change... But this building never did. It's glorious and resplendent. It reminds me of something in France, but better kept, perhaps. It looks palatial. If the White House is a little underwhelming then this executive office is completely awe-inspiring. It's level with the Capitol as my favourite building in the DC area, and is the easiest 5-star rating I've given since my Cousin Daniel got drunk and showed me the ropes.

Didn't really have a lot of time to roam around Pennsylvania Ave. And my friend and I, being…read moreslightly less than ignorant didn't know that the BACK of the WHITE HOUSE would be on Pennsylvania Ave. ** Not impressed** So our pictures we're not exactly anythng to brag about. So we decided to take pictures in front of the Executive Office of the President where the FRONT of this architecture was much more impressive than the BACK of the White House on Pennsylvania Ave. Still a great experience to roam DC and take in the history and political side of the US. (You don't get much of that or appreciate it as much coming from the west coast. Hence, the ignorance of the FRONT vs the BACK of the WHITE HOUSE. =X)

We were very fortunate to be on a visit to the nations capital when the spring garden tour was…read morehappening at the White House. This is a once a year event for only two days that is free to the public that allowed us to get an up close look at the White House Gardens /grounds and the outside of the White House to include a chance to see the presidential limousine "the beast". The grounds were absolutely beautiful and it was a real treat, possibly once in a lifetime, to be so close to the White House. NICE!!! As this trip was with our grandkids it gave us a great deal of satisfaction of being able to share such a memorable and lifelong memory with them. it is truly nice to see times like this when our government offers up such unique viewing opportunities to the general public.

Came here with Steven and hate that it was fenced off. I had to edit this photo to remove the black…read morefence in the way of the White House view, haha! A lot of vendors here to sell trinkets and souvenirs that are not badly priced. If you are using Google Maps to navigate, it will take you to roads that do not exist or closed off, so do not expect that the navigation will take you directly to the front of the White House when you go. Surprised that the grass was not super duper green because I figured that there would be staff that made sure everything outside looked perfect to public eye. Couple of security guards sprinkled around the vicinity who do 100% ID card checks if you try to enter. I forgot the name of the art museum, but it is right by the White House, which I thought made for a beautiful stroll if you want to appreciate the downtown city more than the historical significance that the White House offers, but the cultural valuables that populate Washington DC, too! Thank you for the welcoming staff here who were so passionate about the artworks that it made you excited to learn all about them, too
