I've been here before and came again on a recent trip to the DC area ... we came specifically for…read moreUniqlo. This mall is large -- three stories plus the food court area on the Metro level. Easy to get here from the Metro's Pentagon City stop .. when you get off the Metro and exit the turnstiles, just follow the signs at the "T" for Fashion Centre. There's a mix of regular and high end stores here, so you're sure to find a store that has what you're looking for. The food court has a number of fast food options, but you'll need to walk around nearby for better-than-fast-food. The one thing that annoyed me was no directory! None of the boards that should've been directories displayed any kind of map. And no, I do not have any interest in scanning a QR code to pull up something on my phone: in a public place like that, I have no idea if it's legit or not, or if it's a fake one that will hijack my phone or wallet. PUT THE MAPS BACK.

This is a large mall in Pentagon City. Four floors of shopping with tons of options. I wanted to…read moreget out of the heat in the summer so we decided to enjoy some indoor shopping. It was very crowded with high school kids hanging out and playing games in the area. I was able to go around and check out the different stores. On the bottom floor there are several food options. I was able to pick up some food at Harleys Sandwiches. You have your usual fast food options available. Afterwards you can head out and catch the metro nearby. It is easy to get to from DC or Virginia. I enjoyed coming here to get out of the heat and relax for a while.

Visited We Make DC for their #DiverseCity: Wine & Watercolor event and had such a great time! The…read morewatercolor session was relaxing, and I loved exploring the thoughtfully designed rooms inspired by each of DC's eight wards. The shop also features a wide variety of handcrafted goods from local DC artists and makers--everything from candles and hats to bags, prints, and more. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout the experience, making it easy to enjoy both the event and the space. It's a great spot to support local creatives, find a unique gift, or simply spend a relaxing evening with friends. I'd definitely come back to explore more of their events and shop their collection again.

I bought a pride themed shirt. It says "The District" on it. I also bought some gifts for my friend's birthday. They have nice selection of candles, bath salts and scents for the your room to make them smell good. I bought those for my friend. They packed it nicely for the birthday gift bag. Great value and great service. I highly recommended this place if you're looking for DC themed stuff.

St George's is a fantastic sidewalk French cafe where you can get amazing pastries made by a French chef. Tuniclefs is a casual bar with great food and outdoor seating.

My favorite holiday market in DC, I love coming here every year! This market has grown over the…read moreyears with 50+ artisan vendors and more hot food and boozy vendors! 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.

I fell in love with the place the very second I saw it and even more after walking inside . There was a warm welcome from Asmara. She is always so welcoming and kind whenever I stop by .

It goes so well with the chocolate; the drink was delicious! We were in town to surprise our best friend for her birthday and stopped by to get the day started. Just a five-minute walk from our Airbnb, we enjoyed our visit. The staff are awesome and so welcoming! We ordered four drinks and a couple of croissants to go. They were securely packed and we enjoyed them back at the Airbnb. The place is spacious, with plenty of seating! Their couches are cute and the natural light from the big windows made the place inviting! Aside from the Spicy Hot Chocolate, we also had a regular drip, a matcha latte and a regular latte. My regular drip was strong and gave me the energy I needed. Their butter and almond croissants are buttery and not too sweet. I highly recommend and plan to come back whenever I'm in town!

I came here to check out the new home of House Mouse, one of my favorite little indie bookstores in…read morethe city. It had been a while, so I didn't realize they had moved to this location sharing a new home with two other shops. I perused the wares to see what was available, taking in the plants, array of vintage furniture and other little quirky offerings. The plants were priced higher than some of the potted plants at Ace Hardware, although a few of them did come in unique planters so that could explain the price difference. A lot of the furniture is also for sale, except for a few pieces which were clearly marked as "not for sale". Everything is laid out thoughtfully and made for perusing. I wasn't greeted upon entering, but the other people that walked in after me were. And when I got to the register, the cashier didn't engage in friendly chatter with me like she did the other patrons. It felt like she wanted me out as soon as possible. While the old location of House Mouse was small and didn't hold as many books as this new location, I didn't have that kind of experience in the old shop. Your mileage may vary upon your visit, but I don't think I'll be back.

Haggle, dicker, bargain, negotiate - it's a wonderful way to spend any day of week; however, the Flea is only open 8am-4pm, weather permitting, on Sundays, so plan accordingly. The flea wraps up, around and behind the school there, so be sure to make the full run - there are treasures EVERYWHERE! Plenty of street parking, Safeway across the street for refreshments or to use the "facilities" - a most EXCELLENT plus! Vendors are friendly and easy to work with - pleasant interactions and, generally, affordable transactions. Of course at a flea, variety is key and there is PLENTY of it here. You can pick up outdoor, indoor and international items for your home - even fresh flowers, starter plants for gardens AND SUCCULENTS - the best plant variety out there for an apartment garden! Overall, The Georgetown Flea is DEFINITELY worth it! It's a wonderful way to spend a Sunday and a great way to support local small business!

my first flea market ever! kind of underwhelming i dunno…read more when i went there was mostly jewelry (bracelets, rings, necklaces), clothing (secondhand shirts, tops, +pants). id say the pricing isnt that bad, the rings were like ~$8 each. someone i know got a really similar chrome hearts ring dupe for $12.
