Best place to find a nice house warming or birthday present for someone that is local DC themed. Many options to choose from for gifts. A friend of mine got his niece the cutest baby outfit while I got some DC flag themed drink coasters. There are nice pictures, paintings and anything you would need to deck out your home in DC fashion.

One of the prettiest Capitol buildings. This building is easy to get turned around in, so I recommend remembering a few landmarks around the floors to keep your orientation. This building has a cafeteria, but the cafeteria is rather small and doesn't have as much food selection as the Longworth Building. It's faster, in my opinion, to walk to the Federal Center metro at times than Capitol South. It's better to walk underground to Capitol South when it is raining or snowing. Federal Center metro has a Starbucks next to it, in case you need a morning coffee before work. Lots of Congressman work in this building and the offices range from large to small depending on the space needed for the office.

Quiet and relaxing are the words to describe this small park. This is not a place to come to play soccer or run around. It's more of a sitting park. There are many long benches to sit on and plenty of tree cover to get away from the sun. Great place to eat some food from FoBoGrow which is next door or a packed lunch from home.
