If you are looking for fair priced souvenirs Abe's Gifts is the place to shop. ( yeah, I know the titles are the same but it depends on what kind of charter we're on) Driver's there are plenty of bus parking right along the side walk next to his business. There are wall to wall souvenirs for your memories to Washington D.C. including kid toys. I'm not going to wave on and on about what's inside go see for yourself. Like I told my students "Don't let your eyes overload your wallet ". With his prices, you will walk outta there with unique souvenirs for everyone you know and love and even more for yourself. Oh yeah, his drinks are cold and goes down just right on hot days like today! I recommend Abe's because Tour Groups as well as the Charter Driver are on a strict schedule. As a driver, we can only drive 10hrs a day and the many groups we charter desire we drive the entire 10 hours. If I was a passenger, I would want the same seeing that they rent the bus for the entire drivers 10 hours. If I can elevate a stop AND keep them happy that warms my heart AND I can get to the Hotel on time, in bed so I can rest my nerves. Now speaking as a Professional Tour Driver, it's VERY important that our passengers are happy because if they aren't WE get stressed because they start to complain about every little thing we do. Majority of the time, the passengers ask for our OPINION for the best places to eat AND shop. AS a tourist myself, I want the best bang for my buck when it comes to spending my money in ANY capacity. As the driver, I NEED a great spot to let them off AND shop/look around if I can. I am always the last to exit the bus BUT expected to be back on the bus when RHEY are ready to leave. No one likes to be kept waiting. Time is VERY important for us all, I/we can't afford to waste time in lines. On my FIRST visit to ABES on the request of the Tour Guide, I was able to find GIFTS for myself and loved ones without paying for over priced unique gifts. Up to date, 90 percent of my gifts for myself have been magnets and shot glasses. I'm not spending another dime on them being that I've later saw the same glasses and magnets I could buy the same magnets at a truck stop and CHEAPER. I don't buy my family many souvenirs because they chunk them in a drawer or regift them at Christmas. As I mention in majority of my reviews, I'm watching EVERY penny I spend and not be a frivolous spender. Talk to you later on my next review!!

There are outdoor areas to grab a seat and sip a coffee while doing my favorite thing, people watching.

The gentleman working at the register was very patient because I stayed in the store a long time just looking at the selection of items in awe. If you like stickers, magnets, keychains, buttons, etc, the same designs are available for each. Kids and their grownups will love the workshop in the back and the classes in the evenings and on weekends. You can also find baby gifts, books, and take home activities to do with kids. The art and jewelry made from circuits and computer parts decorates the store and is for sale- what a cool way to recycle electronics and also have one of a kind art. The prices here are fair, especially considering the value for what you're getting and the fact that you're supporting a local business that gives a lot back to the community with their workshop. I hope I can stop in the next time I'm in DC.

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.
