There are two parts to DC Central Kitchen at Buzzard Point. The first part is a full center where…read morepeople can volunteer to help pack food, etc. The facility is newer so it's clean and nice. There's even a lobby for volunteers with cold water, places to sit, and more. The second part is a cafe that's open every day that sells coffee drinks, food, and snacks. I ordered the chai latte with an espresso shot and it was strong and tasty. They also sell sandwiches, lunch deals, Just Tea, and more. There's plenty of seating inside and a few seats outdoors along the sidewalk.

I visited the Pyramid Atlantic Art Center for a political fundraiser recently, and I'm so glad I…read morehad a reason to go inside and learn about it. It's amazing. The Pyramid Atlantic Art Center is a nonprofit center specializing in papermaking, printmaking, and book arts. It was founded in 1981, but more recently it moved into the historic Arcade building in the Hyattsville Gateway Arts District. They offer artist residencies, studios for artists, workshops, instruction, artist talks, and other events, including classes for the public. They sell pieces - large and small - and they have a small shop where they sell prints, cards, and other items. If I lived nearby and had the slightest artistic talent, I'd want to spend time at Pyramid. What a great resource for people who make art and love art in the Hyattsville area! I'm sure I'll be back, but if you live in the area, learn more about it and check it out!

Such a wonderful place!!!…read more Their staff is so friendly and attentive. I've came here several times and will continue to come too as long as they offer voucher for birth certificates and other wonderful assistance for low-income families.

This is one swanky ass community garden. This place is nice compared to the plot I have at a…read moredifferent community garden. They provide water, tools, mulch, compost. All in a nice fenced in garden area so no one will steal the veggies that you've grown. They've also recently upgraded the land, building a new terrace structure that enabled more garden plots to be created. There are beautiful brick walkways leading to these new plots. I spent a day at a work day moving wood chips and helping do prep work around the garden. The community members are wonderful people. And they had a nice cookout at the end of the work day where we all gathered round and had a meal. If I lived closer to this garden I'd definitely want a plot here.

It wasn't crowed, and there were some high top and round tables to sit and finish your beverage ordered from their streetcar bar.

I see the vision and potential, but Dupont Underground is poorly executed. I love the idea of…read moremaking use out of the old abandoned Dupont metro station, but so far all they've done is add some mediocre street art/graffiti and gallery exhibits with projectors displaying digital/visual art. Much of the art seemed amateurish and the projector setups gave it a cheap vibe. Beyond this, there are no restrooms and limited/overpriced food and drink options.

My daughter came home everyday happy and tired (every parent's dream). During the day she played in the play structure, learned games, and did an amazing amount of art crafts. Our daughter loves the ocean, so they helped her make starfish/octopus/squid sea crafts. The activities catered to what the children attending were interested in. The staff were attentive and kind. They greeted Estela everyday with a smile and made her feel comfortable. I highly recommend Magic Ground!

Staff are nice, and there is an impressive variety of things to climb, slide, draw, and play with. Climbing wall, trampoline, toddler areas, drawing station, and even some video games. Minus one star because there is at most one working marker for the whiteboards, and half the Wii U stations were out of order. Also, if you are planning to rely on their food, you might want to call first to see the upstairs snack bar is open. On Presidents' Day no food or snacks were being served. Nonetheless, this seems to be the best indoor playground in DC.

When you walk in, two very friendly volunteer front desk people greet you with a genuine smile. There's a lobby area with seats and to the left is a chalk board to write out your dream (hence the name). As you walk up the stairs, you'll pass classrooms and then a giant gym. If you go to the top of the building, there's a beautiful rooftop deck overlooking the city (you can see the Washington Monument and the US Capitol Building). DC Dream Center is the heart of our neighborhood!

[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.
