A Spectacular Journey Through Washington, D.C…read more The views throughout Washington, D.C. are nothing short of breathtaking. I started by taking in the skyline from a rooftop, which set the tone for what would become a truly unforgettable tour. The vantage point from the Marine Corps Memorial was powerful and inspiring, with Arlington Cemetery stretching solemnly behind it, reminding me of the deep history and sacrifice embedded in this city. Standing at the Lincoln Memorial, I was able to see the iconic sweep of the National Mall, the Washington Monument rising proudly in the distance. Walking down toward it, every step felt like strolling through the center of American history. Cutting across to the Jefferson Memorial, I was greeted by a beautiful structure perfectly reflected in the surrounding waters--absolutely outstanding. From there, I could look back across the Mall and glimpse the White House anchored in the heart of the capital. That view alone was gorgeous. Approaching the Washington Monument up close was awe-inspiring, its height dominating the city's horizon. The next day, I continued this incredible journey by seeing the White House from all sides--the north, the west, and the south--each angle offering a different look at one of the most recognizable buildings in the world. Finally, strolling down the streets lined with federal institutions--from the Department of Labor, to the IRS, to the Securities and Exchange Commission--really showcased the power and importance of the nation's government at work. And as a perfect finale, I arrived at the magnificent Capitol Building on Capitol Hill, standing proudly above it all. From start to finish, the views around Washington, D.C. are stunning, historical, and moving--a visual reminder of the incredible story of America.

This is the perfect place to bring new visitors to this area to see all the major landmarks all at once. Ofcr. Adams was kind enough to escort me to the observation floor and point out all the cool places to show off on my next visit! Despite the city atmosphere, parking is pretty decent and the Rosslyn Metro is right across the street.

Bottom Line: Dated decor but timeless views…read more I don't have much to add that has not already been said - Top of the Town is all about the views of DC and Arlington. So much of the federal city can be seen from this venue. Since Top of the Town is a venue hosting events ranging from business meetings to weddings the food and drinks will be dependent on the caterer. I believe Top of the Town is situated on top of circa 1960s or 1970s condos. The elevator to get to the top is slower than the sloth in the Geico commercials and the bathrooms are dated. Also, it's a long awkward walk from the elevator to the main banquet room. Which brings up a point - there are various banquet rooms and the main one has a rooftop deck. This venue is a good 1/2 mile walk from the Rosslyn Metro station and there is a fairly significant hill as you approach the building. I hiked it in wedges but I don't think I could have done it in pumps or on a bike.

They do have strict rules for cleanup afterwards perhaps that's why it's so well maintained.

I came here a few weeks ago to help a local animal shelter with a fundraising event and I wa pleasantly surprised with the size of this building. It has a very large kitchen and plenty of room for dining as well as a side room for use. I'm not sure what they charge, but it is a really great venue for the area.

I loved this spot!…read more Music: there was a live DJ playing literally everything to give you good vibes while you eat. Food: all you can eat and serve yourself. It tasted bomb! The food tasted like someone's mom was in the back cooking it up lol. You can tell they make everything hot and fresh. Everything was good except the French Toast in my opinion. The French toast tasted good but gets super soggy in the catering containers. The eggs were so creamy and cheesy and good! The wings are finger licking. The Mac & Cheese was good and not greasy (thank God)! They could add a few more things to the menu like waffles, pancakes, bacon Turkey and regular, etc... Service: The staff were nice and seem like a fun batch. They were attentive and brought out the Mimosas. I do wish they put a pitcher on each table instead of us having to wait for someone to refill it. They made sure there were enough clean plates and glasses on the table for everyone so we never had to ask when going up to get food. Ambiance: The good food and music already set the ambiance for me! However the place itself is two floors but not huge. The seating with no reservation is first come first serve. Deff make a reservation or come early. The restaurant was clean and chic looking. Overall I would come back here again in a heartbeat. I wish t

I was extremely disappointed with the customer service provided by both security and the…read morebartenders. The overall experience was very unprofessional and uncomfortable. Security was attempting to have everyone leave early and became involved in an argument with a customer, which created an unnecessary and unpleasant atmosphere. Additionally, I was unable to use the restroom because we were being rushed out, and we were not given enough time to finish our drinks comfortably. We essentially had to rush to finish them, which significantly took away from the experience. I understand that establishments have closing procedures and policies to follow, but the way the situation was handled was unacceptable. I would expect better customer service and professionalism from both security and the bar staff.

I loved the staff too - super friendly, informed, and working students! Highly recommend this restaurant for anyone in the area - not just students!

There are many tables,…read moretoo many balls (ha ha - if not in play, half are in the buckets, the rest are on the floor and in corners), and there are cozy sofas and bar seating. There are clear partitions to separate the game tables, but since most of us aren't ping pong masters, keep your eyes open and don't trip on a ball, ha ha! Despite the crowd, we had attentive service, with iced water jugs and stacks of glasses (for self service) tucked here and there to hydrate during competitive play. Had a few of the crudite appetizers on my plate, but a co worker ate them, lol. I didn't get to the pizza, but I did enjoy a slice of cucumber and a crunchy carrot;). There are big screen TVs and good vibe music to enjoy as well. FYI If you have a similar issue: I should have taken the elevator due to my bum knee, as it's downstairs, but I managed.

We did and I'm glad. The bar area was cozy but it was nice and we were able to find a place to sit while we waited for our reservation time. That place gets very busy since every one is doing the same thing -waiting for their performance. The view of the river and the planes coming in was phenomenal Al. The atmosphere was just adults all have a good time. I enjoyed the vibe. Our waiter was great, the hostess was great. No complaints at all. I had the jumbo crab cakes(see pic). They were very flavorful and did nit need the sauce. I had that Ali g with a Caesar salad which was large enough to share. Also, the crème brûlée with a coffee. My total came to about $108 before tip. Not complaining it was a great evening, great food and great company.

The REACH is a new campus right next to the main Kennedy Center building with the goal of…read moredemocratizing inspiration. It's a campus for all people breaking the barriers between the audience and art. The campus itself is three buildings above ground and a world of theaters, spaces, and classrooms underground. Every element on campus is named after something in JFK's life. For example, one of the classrooms for children is named Macaroni after Caroline Kennedy's pet horse. These rooms host local artists offering dance classes, performances, and more. The designer wants visitors to pay attention to what's there and what's not. To that end, there's lots of open space. Above ground is the largest green roof in the city with gardens and pathways. There's a cafe and at some point a full service restaurant. Everywhere you turn will inspire creativity and connection. It's a beautiful space truly for the people.

Two arguably critically important facets of a successful event space are:…read more 1) Comfortable room temperature 2) Working restrooms Powerhouse had neither of these for a $100 beer festival this afternoon. From what I heard, the men's room flooded and it impacted the women's room too, so they only had two single stall bathrooms upstairs and the longest line, which took away from time that could've been spent tasting beers and mingling with the brewery reps. I understand things happen, but dang. Rough. It was also stupid hot. I know it's only May, but fans were not enough to cool down an event space filled with loads of people. If they did have a/c on, it did a really poor job of cooling the space. I would not go to an event being hosted at this venue in the future.

It was the best experience in a long time!…read more 1. Reservation is necessary or else you won't get any seat. We had the one and only best seat in the house with the unobstructed view of the George Washington monument, Jefferson memorial, even the national harbor ferris wheel! There is literally only 1 table with this view. 2. Food: 4 stars Portion is small and it wasn't as good for a $70 ribeye. But I still had a great time. - burger was delicious - lamb chops had way too much fat, they should have trimmed it beforehand - branzino was great - tartare was amazing - ceviche was just okay 3. Drinks: 4 stars Delicious, good looking but for the price it could have been better. 4. Service: 5 stars This is where they truly shine! Excellent service! 5. The view: 5 stars (only because we had the best table in the giant establishment) 6. Parking: hard! Valet available and some limited street and nearby garage parking.

Washington D.C.rooftop bar with iconic views. Pricey but worth a visit for that reason…read more We heard about potential lines for the elevator but were easily able to get to the rooftop. Reservations aren't needed for the bar so we found seats facing the Treasury Building and White House, a view like no other. We ordered cocktails from the bar (the only option if you don't have a table reservation) and they were served quickly. The bartender reminded us that a 20% service charge is automatically included. Drinks were pricey and the time needed to consume one was enough to savor the experience. The views are like no other and that's what's included in the price. It was worth the visit.
