Penn Camera is a great photography store. The staff really know their stuff when it comes to developing, camera equipment, etc. The prices are definitely on the high end, but the quality of photos is great. The staff know a lot about the latest digital cameras, SLRs, new lenses, and just about anything else you would want to know about photography. It's a great place to get old photos restored too.

This place is awesome. If you are looking to sign up for classes in arts or crafts, you should definitely check this place out. It is located in Laurel, so you might have to drive a bit depending on where you live, but if you are serious about art, I'd check this place out. The pottery classes are especially fun. You also can get extra studio time. I've also seen the paper making classes. I don't know if they still have them, but if they do, I recommend you check it out.

Politics and Prose is a great bookstore in DC. It's got a great staff who know a ton about books. The store is located on Connecticut Ave near the intersection of Nebraska and Connecticut. The store has a small cafe downstairs where you can get pastries, coffee, teas, etc. The bookstore often has events where a famous author speaks about his or her new book. I highly recommend visiting this bookstore.

Imagination Stage is an amazing place. This is one of the largest performing arts school for young people in the area. They have classes on a lot of different areas, dance, theater, musical theater, digital media, film making, etc. And classes are for all ages. You can register on line at www.imaginationstage.org. This is an excellent resource and place to bring your children and get them exposed to theater and the preforming arts.The staff is extremely dedicated, talented, and they love teaching young people.

This restaurant/cafe/bar is a great place to relax and listen to music. The bar area is small and cozy and they often have a small band playing in the corner. The service and beer selection are good. They don't have a lot of choices on beer, but it's still a great place to relax with friends. Everyone was really great there. They also have some desserts. Dinner at this place is good too, but I haven't been in a long time. Some of my friends have said they have great food though. I definitely recommend checking this place out on the weekends if you're looking for a place to lounge and listen to music.

Best Cellars is a great wine store. Everyone is very helpful with you and they know a ton about wine! If you don't know anything about wine, I recommend a visit and also sign up for some wine tasting events. You can check out their web site at www.bestcellars.com. The wine selection is amazing. The store is located in Clarendon, across from the Container Store.

York Flowers is a great florist in DC. It's located on Wisconsin Ave. near between Friendship Heights and Tenley Town metros. The staff is very friendly and very helpful in selecting just the right arrangement for your specific needs. This place always seems to have high quality cut flowers. I highly recommend it. You can't go wrong ordering flowers from York!

This bowling alley is a great place to hang out with friends. You can also set up special events, like a birthday party, corporate outing, etc. The decor is very trendy, updated and funky (there's another one in NYC). They have great music and food. In the past, the place was really loud. On certain days, they have specials and discounts so check out the website of call. This is definitely not your parents' bowling alley.

This is a pretty good shop to get your car repaired or have routine maintenance performed on your car. They provide consistently good service and have a friendly no-nonsense staff. They are located on Rockville Pike just north of downtown Rockville and the Rockville metro station. They sometimes have special deals on tires or services. Overall, they are a good place to go. There are other places along Rockville Pike and on Randolph Road that you can compare, so i would check a few places out if you have time. But if you don't, then I would recommend you check this place out. They are very knowledgeable and can fix most problems.
