Top 10 Places to Shop
-
1. The Shops at Georgetown Park
In this large indoor mall right on the canal, shoppers can find the expected fashions, but also electrical goods, luggage, and many other specialties. There is a food court and popular restaurants.
-
2. Dean & DeLuca
The New York-originated gourmet food store is about as luxurious as a grocery store can get. The salad bar is superb, and the ready-made meals have brought success to countless Georgetown dinner parties.
-
3. Appalachian Spring
This shop might as well be an informal museum, considering the quality of many of the hand-made crafts for sale. The quilts, carved wood, pottery, and fabrics would grace any setting.
-
4. The Phoenix
A charming store with contemporary clothing in natural fibers, classic jewelery, folk and fine art, and Mexican antiques.
-
5. Commander Salamander
More extreme fashions for young people – Goths especially. Also serious boots and shoes, and see-through backpacks.
-
6. Georgetown Flea Market
There are some usual flea-market items here, but its reputation for selling high-quality furniture, antiques, and decorative items has increased in recent years. Sundays only.
-
7. Urban Outfitters
Casual city clothing is the staple product here. The store has its own good-quality brand of clothes. Other “urban” items, from aromatherapy candles to kitsch decorations, are stocked intermittently.
-
8. Bridge Street Books
Georgetown has few dedicated bookstores – this one is fertile ground for anyone with a serious interest in literature, history, film, politics, or poetry.
-
9. Tysons II Galleria Beyond Comics 2
Countless wares, fascinating for all ages, fill this shop. Not just comics but also action figures, T-shirts, posters, and novelties.
-
10. Up Against the Wall
More fashionable clothing – some for clubbing but much suitable for street wear and even business. The store sets a contemporary music theme for shoppers, and even has a part-time DJ.
