Hard-core shoppers will do whatever it takes to find the elusive item they're searching for, even if it means driving a distance for it. That's what many DC shoppers do when they take the short trip to Arlington and visit the Fashion Centre at Pentagon City. The venue features over 150 shops placed over four levels, all off the Pentagon City Metro stop. Discriminating shoppers will be pleased to find such attractive shopping destinations as Aeropostale, L'Occitane, Williams-Sonoma, Rockport, United Colors of Benetton, J.Jill and Ann Taylor. Popular favorites Macy's and Nordstrom anchor the mall's many merchants. Another popular spot is the food court that is accentuated by a high-ceilinged, sun-filled atrium.
Capitol Coin and Stamp is a haven for both history buffs and political memorabilia collectors. The shop features a far-reaching array of items that include everything from bumper stickers, election pins, T-shirts and political posters that literally span the entire century of political activity. There are even some items that date back to Abraham Lincoln's Presidential campaign! So, there's no excuse for not leaving Washington without some type of political souvenir from this interesting shop.
Touted as America's First Museum of American Art, the Phillips Collection is a museum that not only presents an impressive collection of exhibits that feature impressionist, post-impressionist and contemporary American art, it also boasts a rather intimate charm. That mood is perfect for a romantic afternoon date with that special someone. Stroll through the galleries and discuss your impressions of these works and see where the conversation (and the afternoon) goes from there.
