Nick's riverside grill,-traditional American, Sequoia-New American Cuisine. This harbor has wonderful restaurants!!! Loved, loved the Farmers Fishers Bakers Restaurant! Amazingly tasty dishes and great bar options! There is Guapo's, also fantastic Mexican foods! There is a small board walk, some eccentric Statues and an overlook on the Kennedy Performance Center that lights up in beautiful colors at night reflecting on the water. All chill and again we just loved the place!

I need to report an extremely disturbing experience at a Nordstrom Rack store during a recent visit…read morewith my husband. We were shopping for outfits for our son's graduation, which should have been a positive and memorable occasion. Instead, I was subjected to unprofessional, confrontational, and ultimately abusive behavior by a fitting room associate. Upon approaching the fitting room, I followed the associate's directions regarding where to place my cart, although her instructions were inconsistent and unclear. Inside the dressing room, I found a shirt that had been left behind by a previous customer. After trying on approximately seven items, I returned them to hangers and exited the fitting room. At that point, the associate demanded that I remove and hang the shirt that I had not brought into the dressing room. I explained that it was not mine. She became visibly frustrated, entered the room herself, and then shifted her focus to insisting that I return all of my items to the exact locations on the sales floor where I had found them. I placed the clothing neatly on the rack provided near the fitting room, which is standard practice in most retail stores. I declined to return the items to the sales floor, as that is typically handled by store staff to ensure proper organization. The situation escalated significantly when the associate followed me out of the fitting area and toward the front of the store, continuing to confront me. She then called me a "horrible human being" and used an additional demeaning term toward me. Racially motivated ! Being followed and verbally insulted while exiting the store was both shocking and unacceptable. I think she forgot what her job actually was and that was too curate the clothing, and to rehang them up she had the nerve to continue following me and would have exited the store to follow me. Had someone else stopped her I am a 50-year-old customer who has shopped in retail stores my entire life, and I have never experienced anything remotely like this. This interaction was not only unprofessional but crossed the line into harassment. this incident be investigated thoroughly. No customer should be treated in this manner under any circumstances. I would also appreciate a response outlining what steps will be taken to address this situation and ensure it does not happen to others. Huge thumbs down to this store and this horrible little twit

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.

There are plenty of walk ways and benches to enjoy the water and a sunny day. They also have informational signs throughout explaining the history and purpose of eco-friendly innovations found in the park. Just off the park is a bridge that reminds people of Seattle. Under the bridge, you can find a coffee shop, a theater, and a few restaurants. Pro-tip: Walk a few blocks to Baked and Wired for DC's best cupcakes.

What's not to like at this lovely park by the Georgetown waterfront?…read more The benches are strategically placed throughout the park in such ways that you get shades from nearly every seats. That's great news because it gets unpleasantly hot and humid in DC this time of the year. I also appreciated how much shades are available in general at this park. This made it easy to walk dogs like cavalier spaniels who tends to do terribly in hot humid weather. Many of the good restaurants such as Fiola Mare is available right from the steps of the park. You can also hop on the DC tour boat and some allows for wining and dining on them. Perhaps the only gripes I have are finding parking and not being able to find dog waste stations easily. No big deal for the most part but mildly annoying nonetheless.

Lucky Strike has been closed for a while. Bar Louie, Thai Chili and Arosto Pizza are also now closed. Broken escalators, neglected sanitation and nighttime urban grittiness continue. I note with sadness the closing of Gallery Place in Baltimore Inner Harbor. Tough economy everywhere.

So this office building complex is right above the Farragut West Metro at the 18th and I street…read moreexit. 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.
