Whew weeee!! This…read morelocation was something to talk about. I have been dying to get in this place for years but always on a tight schedule to get elsewhere. This was a Lion and Tigers and Bears OH MY situation! It's quite crowded in here. Not cluttered but crowded. They have soooo much stuff and it's all in order. This place could be 2-3 floors easy!! I saw all of my fav brands at great prices. They have a huge selection of high-end wear for a great price. They have a huge selection of summer, spring and winter wear. The cosmetics and body care... chef's kiss!! They have everything in every color/ scent/ size!! Cool accessories, luggage galore, etc. I did not take a gander at the shoes as I had a show nearby to attend. I bought 2 gorge blouses and a short sleeve loose fitting denim blue top. I will revisit very soon for some more shopping greatness.

Lots of great "stuff" and finds....if you have the patience to look around and dig for it…read more This Nordstrom Rack is loaded with brand name products, designer clothing, jewelry, household goods and all at decent prices. The only gripe I have specifically with this location.....is that it is waaayyy too cluttered-- overstocked with just stuff everywhere! And, let's talk about organization to make things easy to find....forget it. It sort of reminds me of Filene's Basement (on Connecticut Ave) from back in the day or a " sub high-end" Thrift store. If you park on the street nearby this store, you better load up your parking meter to the max.... Because you're going to need the time to roam around this place. Note: There is no parking lot or garage..... so you don't want your parking meter to expire because we all know parking tickets in DC is like paying rent or the amount of a one night hotel stay. lol Other than this, not a bad shopping experience here. There's something for everyone when it comes to looking for bargain clothing that's from designer labels and semi on trend. One plus I will say about this Nordstrom Rack location, is that they carry a large selection of men's business and casual clothing. This location carries tons of business suits, dress shirts, ties and business casual slacks-pants. I think the reason for this is because this location is centrally located in the downtown DC area and business district that is primarily surrounded by law offices, lobby firms, consulting firms and federal government agencies. You often don't find this at a lot of Nordstrom Rack and bargain clothing, places like Marshall's/TJMaxx around the DMV. There are also tons of men's athletic shoes, casual sneakers, great running shoes and dress shoes. In all, you can't go wrong shopping here. Although, the Pentagon City location is more my speed. This location is not all bad. Lots of good finds and decent customer service. Just have a little patience and time to roam around this treasure trove!

It's significantly better price-wise than the Safeway across the street (the Safeway's prices are basically yelling "You should take the Silver to McLean and go to Wegmans").

The edit is solid -- everything from Hermes (yes, I spotted a pair of immaculate riding boots, sadly not my size) to The Row, Prada, Chanel... even some more accessible gems from brands like Mansur Gavriel. I lucked out and found a pair of Prada Monolith loafers that are still available in-store at full price -- except mine were half the cost and looked like they'd maybe been worn once. Maybe. Such a good score, plus I got to support a small business, which always feels better than buying direct from some corporate mega-retailer. And shout out to Julia, who works there -- she was fantastic. Super helpful, super knowledgeable, and when the right shoe went missing (yes, really), she helped me tear the place apart to find it. I had almost given up, but then I spotted a Prada box... and there it was. Victory. All in all: great range, well-curated, and the kind of place where you just might walk out with a designer piece you didn't even know you needed. Definitely one to add to your DC shopping circuit.

Unprofessional, unresponsive, and condescending -- take your luxury bags elsewhere…read more I consigned a like-new $5,000+ tote with Ella Rue in February 2026. The owner listed it at $2,300 with a 55% payout and claimed it would sell within weeks. Instead, I spent six months chasing updates through texts, calls, emails, and website tickets. By summer, they stopped responding entirely. When I visited on September 2, they refused to answer a basic question without an appointment and made me wait until September 11. At that appointment, the owner repeatedly disparaged my bag as outdated, then told me it had sold for $1,875. She initially tried to pay me only 50%. Only after I produced the contract did she apologize and acknowledge the agreed 55%. Even then, my final payment was less than 55% because they deducted an undisclosed "processing fee" of several dozen dollars--something never mentioned throughout the entire process. Six months of silence, condescension, attempted underpayment, and a surprise fee. I'll take my other luxury bags to New York. Avoid this store.

If you need any of those things, this place is right at the Rosslyn metro so it's close and worth a stop. Otherwise, no reason to come here as it has a rundown/sorta sketchy vibe. The random tables in the common areas seem to be hangouts for loiterers so keep that in mind. The restrooms here are disgusting, creepy, isolated and sometimes frequented by a variety of "interesting" loiterers so avoid at all costs!

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.

I usually stop in just to see what is new and the range of talent that exists in the city.

Whoever does the curation for them does a great job. Georgetown is filling up with big name brands and stores seemingly every week.

It also provides an excellent cut through if you're going past 18th and I, I used to cut through the building as my office used to be over around the 20th Street neighborhood. Just at the top of the metro exit there is a Pret-a-manger and a Starbucks. Inside the building you'll find office entrances with secure access meaning if you're a visitor you'll need to sign in or have an access badge to gain entry. On the lower level there is a food court but sadly when walking through recently it looks like the Five Guys is closed, which used to be quite popular when I worked down in the area a few years back. Also little known secret about the food court area there is a clean restroom available. Believe me when drinking too much coffee and your bladder is full, its nice to know that I can find an easily accessible restroom in the city as they can be hard to come by. Of note too if you're like me and cut through the building they close access right at 6PM, not 6:01 or 6:02 right on the dot. So if you're leaving work a little late and you get there at 6 you'll have to walk around the block to get to the metro escalators. Trust me the building people don't make exceptions, I've seen many try and fail. Also if you're an early to work person the building doesn't open up for public access until 7AM. Although this place has its fair share of traffic during the weekdays, its quite dead on the weekends.

This is a useful place for groups that have a hard time making up their mind on where to eat. Off the top of my head they have: Au Bon Pain Five Guys A Chinese place a Greek place a grilled chicken place that does a lot of salads. a Cuban place ...and probably some more that I can't remember. Everything is clearly fast fast food, and other than five guys nothing really stands out as being haute cuisine, but it is a very useful compromise. Seating can be a little difficult at times, especially for large groups, but I generally never fail to get a group of 8+ seated together by the time everyone has picked up their Five Guys.
