My daughter and son-in-law had their wedding reception at this facility on June 26, 2016…read more What approachable wonderful to work with personnel and staff. Peter was the overseer and Rene was the onsite event manager. Peter answered all email messages and phone calls promptly and reassured us until the day before everything would be taken care of and it was. Wonderful commodious space, lovely location, serving staff sweet as pie. Would do it all over again. Special mention to Rene who really went the extra mile the night of the reception to make sure everything was to our satisfaction. It should also be said that Peter followed up with us by phone the next business day to make sure everything was as we expected. What a sweetheart!

[Part of Giving Tuesday 2019]…read more I can only write from the perspective of a volunteer/donor, but Martha's Table seems to have a strong mission towards helping children and families in the DC area. Our class wanted to organize a clothing/food drive, and Martha's Table seemed to have the most bang for your buck. You can always donate in liquid like every other organization, but not as feasible for someone on the student lifestyle. There's plenty of drop-off locations for clothing and baby items across the city. If you can give food items like canned and dried goods, you gotta go to their Maycroft location on Columbia Rd NW. Easy to just reserve a 15-minute appointment on their website and drop off our load. I see their trucks all around the city serving the community - here's to hoping everyone's littles go a long way.

Soooo I'd say that it's definitely not a typical place I'd go. My girlfriend recommend this place…read moreso I thought I'd give it a try. She has had to sign me in as her guest the few times I've been. I'm a bartender in the area and I've heard of this place but never gave it a chance. I'd say robin is one of the best bartenders I've ever seen. She hands down knows exactly what she's doing. Never seen someone who in the industry as long as she has and run circles around 21 year olds. Sarah whom I had no idea was her daughter is so cute. Pretty girl. Friendly. Very sweet, guys definitely love her. She is a asset as far as eye candy. --- there happens to be an older woman who complains about how terrible she feels, and cries and throws temper tantrums. UNPROFESSIONAL...and some old man who looks very ill. His nose is purple. It's actually alarming. Hopefully he gets help. It actually looks like it might fall off. He was rude... But giving his unfortunate looks I wrote it off. When I pay to go out and have a good time I want to see smiles and hear laughing. Both robin and Sarah provided that. Oh, and I do love the fact the bathrooms were clean!

Really love these community centers. I went here for the Spit Dat Open Mic (Every Thursday at 9pm)…read moreand was really impressed by the talent of the performers who went up there.

Unless you forget to look for a house, not a fancy building. I remember just walking in, and thinking, "am I lost (again)?" They only ask for $1 donation- super cheap if you think about buying a drink at Busboys and Poets and then listening to the poetry readings that don't stir your social justice/racial justice blood, where you walk out feeling like you missed something. So I sat there, thinking, this is kind of a random place for a spoken word show- I mean, we're talking minimal (no) technology, some hot lights, rows of fold-up chairs, and natural voice projection (aka no mic). But the spoken word? Well.....DAMN. Quality. The people were great, the host/organizer was funny and great, and even the people reading their material were awesome. There's some mad talent there. This is the spoken word that's maybe like Def Jam without Mos Def and without the fancy stage setup. It's a little bit late- 9pm on a Thursday night (I have to be in bed by 10 if I want a full 8 hrs of sleep before work the next day), and it goes until 11 or so. They have guest features too. This is the kind of atmosphere I was looking for in a spoken word venue, though I'm no expert- talent, laughter, soul, music, and some deep shiznit. The performers sound like people who live and breathe spoken word- and if it's not their work, it's their soul food. Busboys and Poets can't live up to the quality here, I think- at least not based on my last poetry night experience. Maybe I need to get myself to one of their open mics, but their poetry night on Sunday kinda depressed me.

Not all community centers are created equal but this is a nice one. It has a bunch of conference…read morerooms you can rent for a birthday party, church group, or many other purposes. There's a number of large rooms if you want to host a conference or a community fair. There's also a bunch of classes you can sign up for, for a fee. (Vienna residents pay less.) I also like how close this place is to the center of Vienna. You could ride your bike here since the bike trail passes right by it. You could walk here right after going to the library. You could grab lunch and then walk over. You could hop over while your kid is playing baseball. In fact, car is probably the most annoying way to get here since the parking can be a pain, especially if you come during the Saturday morning farmers market when part of the parking lot is closed.

I like the statue of kids reading. There are some nice benches as well. When my son was younger, took him here for a music and puppet show. That was fun and the arts thrive here. Definitely a nice community center, although I wish they could add a few activities.

The tunnel slide is clearly the highlight of the park, but the only way to get there is up a large spiderweb that has large gaps in it that are not suitable to toddlers who have yet to develop the capacity to get up the ropes themselves. They have a couple baby swings (love they have the duo swing) and a spiderweb swing. The boat with binoculars is cute. There's also a little playhouse with a toddler slide. The fake grass has some nice hills to run up and down. There's plenty of seating available. The park is pretty Empty during the week. Once school lets out it gets busier. Parking is available both on the street and in a lot. I'd return here again, but only when my toddler (who turned 2 last month) can at least help me get him through the ropes to the big blue slide.
