“The overall experience was mostly good. The museum has a lot of interesting choices for exhibits and what is shown is very digestible for most people. There are a couple of reasons I'm not giving it a complete 5 stars:
1) The food at the Cafe's leaves something to be desired. It really is a cafeteria format. At the atrium cafe that is not far from the entrance, you get a tray and pick the food you'd like served on other paper plates and trays. Most of it truly is cafeteria food such as burgers, Mac and cheese, and chicken tenders & waffle fries are among some choices. They didn't taste all that great as they are left on heated areas for people to grab and who knows how long they sit there.
2) There is an Egyptian mummy exhibit. A history I am usually very interested in. And while the 4 or 5 windows of those exhibits were interesting, I also found it to be a small collection. Not a bad thing necessarily, I was just a tad disappointed.
3) A lot of things take some tickets in advance to get into which is similar to other museums in the area. This is not a bad thing, just something to be aware of before coming in. The butterfly atrium is one of these as an example.
Overall, still a great place to go and worth seeing for free admission. It made my 1st time in Washington D.C memorable.”
“I love shopping at Steadfast Supply. They have such unique and fun items in their store. I never leave empty handed. They source incredible greeting cards too and it's my first stop in the neighborhood for any card I need for personal or work scenarios!”
“I love everything about Nova Bossa. Carolina and her team have selected beautiful items that you can feel really good about. They spark you heart and soul. I bought a ring when I just really needed something pretty and good -- they made the shopping experience so positive and now I have a bit of sparkle in my day. Would recommend in every way if you're looking for that special gift for someone or for yourself.”
“This place smells wonderful.It has a little bit of everything. Food, clothing, glassware, games, books, etc.The people are very friendly and helpful. It's a smaller store, and you could still spend a couple of hours enjoying all the various offerings they have to sell.Take your time, enjoy this little gem in the heart of old Town Alexandria.”
“Visited with MIL - a gem of a find. While small, lots of beautiful and unique gifts, especially for the hard-to-shop-for category. The owner was a delight and we were happy to leave with nice gifts for others (bags, jewelry, and definitely some for ourselves). It's right off Eastern Market and upstairs from a cards and balloons shop so a bit hard to see from the street - but worth seeking out!”
“A very unique store ? walking around in here was an experience haha. All kinds of different things to browse, including stickers, bracelets, snacks, candles, and more! ?? Loved it”
“I love this store, both the Shirlington and Wharf locations! They have a variety of unique gift ideas - but my favorite is their selection of vintage jewelry 5 stars all the way!”
“Outstanding environment, this is the best place to visit after your, visit to the White House., The staff is fully ingage when you walk in store. I've been a customer since 2013. ANDY HARLAND, LOS ANGELES CALIFORNIA USA USA ??”
“We were pleasantly surprised by the National Building Museum! It was recommended to me by a relative and I'm glad we took the time to check it out. It was just my husband and I, so we skipped the extra fee to see the Lawn exhibit, aimed at families with young children. It made me miss my kids at that age as they would have loved running up and down hills!We enjoyed many of the unusual current exhibits such as Hoops (photographer Bill Bamberger's collection of photographs depicting basketball courts from around the world showing how they build communities), House & Home (historical exhibit about what it means to live at home for different people across the United States), Secret Cities (the architecture and planning of the Manhattan Project), Flickering Treasures (historical look at the world of great movie theaters in Baltimore), and more!Also, the building that houses the National Building Museum itself is quite grand and there is something to see. Completed in 1887, it originally housed the United States Pension Bureau to serve Civil War veterans and their families. A frieze depicting scenes from the Civil War surrounds the exterior of the building. It also served as the location of several inaugural balls and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1985.”
“This is the actual gift shop in the headquarters building of NASA so of course it's awesome. Really friendly staff that will help you find what you need in terms of clothing pins cups or astronaut ice cream”
“Outstanding customer service!Last week I visited the Gallery Shops [West building, ground floor].I was pleasantly surprised to see a great deal on LOQI Tote bags at this store.I would like to personally thank the sales associate Daniel or David [I am sorry in case I got his name wrong], a young professional who helped me to select it, answered all my questions, escorted me to the counter, and managed financial transactions.”

“I bought space food and magnets.
There are 4 types of space food: 3 flavors of ice cream and dried strawberry.
It was about 8 dollars.
I thought it would be nice if there were more types.
I purchased the magnet shown in the photo. It was about 12 dollars.”

“Patrick's is a beautiful gem on the Wharf. I see in the reviews below other shoppers mention their price point and the owner being "rude", but I'll have to come to their defense. The owner is not rude, he's actually a lovely person with a dry sense of humor, which I realize some may take as rude, but he is not. Getting to know him has been a treat. The owners of this business have been in interiors and decor for a long while and have a gift. Their store is stocked with classic high-end dinnerware, tableware, art, candles, jewelry, picture frames, and all sorts of home goods and beautiful treasures. Mixed in with the higher-end offerings are plenty of affordable and beautiful items, too. I think a sign of a well-made shop is one that provides goods for all variations of shoppers, which is a challenge, but Patricks does this well. Do yourself a favor and visit them. I shop here often and cannot say enough kind things! I am excited to see what they bring out for Easter!”
“I placed an order for a Fruit Basket to be delivered August 31, 2023. It was delivered with 2 hours. This Shoutout is for the Store Manager Ms. Racheal. She was very knowledgeable, patient and went above and beyond the call of duty to assist me. I will definitely keep her number and name in my contacts when I need to place another Edible Arrangement. Superior Work Ms.,Racheal. I am a very Happy Shopper, thanks to you !!Rev. Ola Thorpe-Cooper”

“I have nothing but wonderful things to say about SHELTER! My husband and I had them design custom wedding rings. They walked us through the whole process and pricing. Everything was transparent and they made sure we were happy at every stage from the design through the fitting. Hope to work with them again in the future and would highly recommend them for custom jewelry or they also have wonderful designs in the store.”
