- mullenmanMidleton, Ireland26 contributionsExcellent food market. So many different and diverse food stalls. We were staying locally for a week and visited here twice as it was so good. Loads of seating and great atmosphere.Written May 20, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- TravelerWithOpinionsBoston, MA419 contributionsStrolling through the National Gallery of Art Sculpture Garden on a beautiful spring day is a pure delight, both looking at the art and the botany. Ahhh...Written May 1, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- cjdotheworldSmithfield, VA1,366 contributionsThere are a number of shops, some below street level. The guys dishing our the product are colorful characters. Fun visit.Written May 2, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- IwannabewhereyouareWashington DC, DC102 contributionsLine forms early for the brunch on weekends. Try to get there by 9 am. Crab cake eggs Benedict is a little pricey but really tasty. The brick sandwich will fill you up and will not be Hubert the whole day. Plenty of great options such as the pancakes (Tom- owner and cashier will steer you to choose blue bucks which is gritty and hearty but not soft fluffy), corn beef hash and fried fish ( love the whiting). Spend time on the surrounding area looking and perhaps shopping for clothes, pottery, produce and jewelry. Could spend a few hours here.Written February 29, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- kariandy6698Roswell, GA12 contributionsThe concept is neat for this exhibit, but it’s a very short experience. At $25/person, it just didn’t live up to the cost. We were in and out in 15 minutes.Written April 7, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- TravelEatXploreBoston, MA5,198 contributionsGreat view of the ocean, plenty of restaurants and bar along with fresh seafood. Very popular and happening place for locals and tourists.Written October 24, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- AnnDC_13Washington DC, DC53 contributionsAte lunch at Piccolina which was delicious - very nice ambiance sitting outside. Delicious lunch and nice options to choose fromWritten July 7, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Cycle2eatBaltimore, MD133 contributionsWe visited this musuem during the January 2019 government shutdown-when the Smithsonians were closed and we didn't visit our usual haunts in DC. We were lucky-under other circumstances we would have missed this smaller, lovely museum. There was a wonderful special exhibit "Amazonagramas" by Roberto Huarcaya on the first floor and several permanent collections by 20th century artists on the upper level. We were able to leisurely and thoroughly enjoy the artists and architecture.Written February 13, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- B. BonnerArdmore, TN129 contributionsIf you like the photographer Ansel Adams, this is the place for you. It's free, it's not crowded and 75 of his original photographs, all signed, are exhibited. I enjoyed leisurely walking through and reading quotes by him on the wall.
However the exhibit is a walkway to the staff offices. Most of the time I was walking through, someone was in the staff lunchroom beating on a block of frozen ice. It was very distracting. Other people were stomping up and down the stairs and, I don't know, it felt like the exhibit was really an afterthought to them instead of a point of honor and pride.Written July 15, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - BetsyWashington DC, DC355 contributionsThis was mildly disappointing. While I’m sure it’s big for DC it was pretty small in the grand scheme of things. There were some good vendors but also a lot of junk (as to be expected). If you’re in the market for vintage cookware or posters, check it out. Otherwise, skip.Written August 7, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Mike AWashington DC, DC296 contributionsI used to come by the Mazza Gallerie a decade ago when I was studying at American University. But I was surprise how this place felt like a ghost town on my recent visit. I was staying across the street at the Embassy Suites when I felt like going to watch a movie at the AMC Theatres on the top floor. If you're looking for a quiet spot to go window shopping or see what's around, then this is your place. As other reviews have indicated, there aren't that many stores to see here. The only positive experience I had in this building was the $6 movie ticket for the morning show. Outside the Mazza Gallerie you'll have more shopping and dining opportunities and it's conveniently next to the Friendship Heights metro station.Written January 5, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Mayte M3 contributionsWe spent 3 days in Washington and every day we had breakfast at the corner store and at the same time we order a second breakfast to eat on the way as lunch. The food was very well prepared and presented, the prices are reasonable and the restaurant was always clean. The staff is very nice. For sure when we go back to Washington we are going to pass by the corner store.Written August 22, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- KCMLiveWashington DC, DC296 contributionsThe Anacostia Arts Center is a community friendly with a blackbox theater, cafe, and meeting space. I recently visited for a playwright's musical showcase, and was impressed with the beautiful artwork by local artists and bright airy spaces. The shops have awesome local products, books, clothing and jewelry, and the owners are friendly and knowledgeable. Parking is available, but be sure to arrive in plenty of time to drive around to find a space. If you are planning a local arts event I would definitely recommend checking out the Anacostia Arts Center.Written January 14, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- VanessaRoadNorth Wales, UK4,934 contributionsWe found The fridge street art gallery in The Lonely Planet Unusual things to do in Washington DC. It said it was hard to find. We ended going on to 9th street and finding the alley from that side!! Alex Goldstein talked to us about his collection, some of which are on the walls. His father was an artist and some of his sculptures are in the gallery. Alex had been a graffiti artist in his youth. The idea of the gallery is to showcase and support graffiti artists. He was sat outside with his dog when we arrived and happily gave us a tour and the history of the gallery. The gallery is also used for social and music functions. One of my highlights in Washington DCWritten September 21, 2016This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- joren_fWashington DC, DC1 contributionWalked in and was greeted by the staff. There were multiple exhibits around different corners. Surprised to see so many mixed-media works.Written October 22, 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
