“Honestly, I didn’t know what to expect and was blown away. So many cute shops with speciality items that you can make yourself. Very wide variety. The only downside is they close earlier, but there are nice dining options open later.”
“Had a great experience at CityCenterDC — this place really stands out as one of the best shopping areas in DC.
One thing that doesn’t get talked about enough is how easy the parking situation is. The garage is super convenient, well-organized, and actually stress-free compared to most places downtown. You can get in and out without dealing with the usual DC chaos, which makes the whole experience a lot more enjoyable.
The stores themselves are fantastic. There’s a great mix of high-end brands, clean and beautifully designed spaces, and everything feels very polished and upscale. Whether you’re shopping, walking around, or just grabbing something to eat, the atmosphere is always on point.
Overall, CityCenterDC delivers a premium experience from start to finish — easy parking, great layout, and top-tier shopping. Definitely one of my go-to spots in the city.”

“Love the vegan options!!
Why I gave 4 stars and not 5. There are 2 bathrooms, both have boy/girl and I wouldn't mind that if the guy before me didn't pee all over the toliet, floor oh gosh and he did not flush. I could not use that bathroom. He can't do that in a girl's bathroom. It's not sanitary or fair. I went in the other bathroom and it was OK but both nerd a real good sanitation and to be checked on a schedule.
In the back they offer free coffee which is very good. I do recommend Moms.”
“Hit a few of the establishments in this shopping center including Starbucks Roy Rogers and almost made my way into the green turtle but I was running out of time on this occasion...
Maybe next time I'll pay the green turtle a visit and hang out for a bit longer”

“I went to the Walgreens while I was on a very strict time schedule. I was able to purchase what I needed and get back home well within the time that I had allotted to myself. I found no problem parking or finding the product I was looking for!”
“It can get congested especially coming in. Lots of good stores to choose from to suit pretty much all shopping needs. Now, they've added a Bath and Body Works up there!”
“Went to Nothing But Bundt Cakes. Cashier was super friendly and patient, even though we had trouble verifying if I was picking up the right order. If you are picking up an order for someone else, make sure you know there full first and last name and the type of cake ordered (may be common sense for most ppl, besides me ?).”

“I love the crossings. I live 2 blocks from here. It's always a great place to go. They do a great job through the seasons for decorating.It's just great to sit here relax tons of great choices.It's immaculate I love it. Feels like a Hallmark movie set!”
“We visited Leisure World for one of their monthly Saturday dances. If you like ballroom, dancing, and want a non-threatening environment in which to practice, this works well. The DJ was organized and played good ballroom dancing tunes. Everyone there is welcoming to all levels of dancers. There is a lot of free parking as well. You just have to tell the guard in the entry station that you are going to a dance, and he will let you in.”
“A great little shopping center although the parking can be a hassle. Fantastic array of small shops with a hardware store, variety shop, and awesome bakery with year-round hamentashen.”
“Love TJMaxx. Redoing the interior of this location. Fun place to go too never know what you'll find next. Wish they carried more high end hair and skin care, even clothes. Back in the day the Maxx was the place for beorgeois brands, Italian products, changed a lot since then. But still a great place to shop. Staff is ok.”
“Small exchange, but still has a great selection. Friendly staff! Clothing and sales could have had a better selection of boots, but not a show stopper. Had a great selection of uniforms to include hot weather OCPs.”

“We were there at Shark's Chicken and Fish Restaurant. This was my first time visiting and the food was so delicious to me. We got catfish filets and whiting filets and fries. We had to go back for another visit before we had to leave Washington DC. I highly recommend this place.”
“Conveniently located and accessible for shopping and a quick notarization by White Rose Notary Services LLC. Returned for a second notarization in a week. Unfortunately, Starbucks was temporarily closed. Fortunately, we were able to use outside seating to complete the notarization.”
“Watch Pocket is the only one I trust to fix my watches!! Pleasant service with expert care. Park in back for all the Woodmoor shops as its easier to get out. CVS is convenient there and Starbucks too. The dry cleaner has been there forever and they have a tailor in house on certain days.”
““College Park Marketplace is the ultimate one-stop shop! It’s so convenient having Starbucks, Shoppers, Ross, and Home Depot all in the same place. Whether I’m grabbing a quick coffee, picking up groceries, finding some great deals, or tackling home improvement projects, I can do it all in one stop. Definitely a go-to spot for running errands!””
“Largo Town Center was great considering all of the restructuring that's going on. I cann't wait until the new hospital is finished . I know its going to be fabulous shopping mall. I appreciate the eateries that are open doing the Coronavirus out break. Go go there and support!”
“Had the best experience at this shop today! Met this lady named Sherry and got a taste of yummy flavors! Never had chacolate as good as this and excited to share with the fam!! Ty Sherry!”
“I love it here it's just a really tight parking lot a lot and kind of hard to find parking sometimes.
All the restaurants here are definitely on point though some of the best food.”
“One of the most beautiful alleys in Washington, D.C. is steeped in history. A historic alley home to warehouses, stables, workshops, and alley homes, the alley is now Georgetown's Design District with local and national brands and a popular cafe. The cobblestone still paves the alley and many of its buildings have remnants of the past. Can you find the two horse statues on one of its buildings? It's also a great alley to plan spot as airplanes land at nearby National Airport.”
“I really liked this part of Washington DC. It is my favorite city now in terms of the culture and history that the streets represent. I didn't like the subway, I only saw one car that looked nice, it's not bad but it's not very pretty, illuminated, the cars are old, the signs are clear and easy to walk. But it's not pretty for a city with so many cherry trees and tulips, full of greenery and so much tourism. They should improve the subway”
“Giants need to do better in the meat department. It's NOT RIGHT! To put out expired meats! Around the 1st week & 1/2 of every month! Quick sales stickers are a RED FLAG! ? on any food products. Always check the dates before buying meats, milk, breads etc. #Everyonedeservesfreshfoods”
“This mall is a total gem — it’s huge with tons of stores, from Altar’d State to Victoria’s Secret and Macy’s. I’ve easily spent over five hours wandering around here! The food court is massive too, so it’s easy to grab a bite without slowing down the shopping spree. The vibe is great, and everything feels super clean and well-kept. Definitely one of my favorite local spots to spend a whole afternoon!”
