Shopping Neighborhoods, Friendship Heights
Fodor's Review:
The major thoroughfare Wisconsin Avenue runs northwest through the city from Georgetown toward Maryland. It crosses the border in the midst of the Friendship Heights shopping district, which also is near Chevy Chase. Between the malls, department stores, discount outlets, luxe designer frontrooms, and chic, small boutiques, this area has nearly everything you could want to buy. Walk 15 minutes or take a taxi toward Connecticut Ave from the Friendship Heights metro station to find stores frequented by locals in the know. There are also several foodie destinations on Upper Wisconsin, but you'll want a car to reach them.
