Washington,D.C. Shopping
 

Iam planning a trip in early May of this year to Washington,D.C. and I was wondering where there is a good places to shop. I was wondering where there is good places to get things that i could get to rememver my trip.Plus my second question is what kind of shopping is there in China town? Here is my personal e-mail address if someone could get back with me that would be great. [email protected]

The best gift shop in DC (IMHO) is in the Building Museum. Every museum has its own gift shop, of course and the one at the Lincoln Memorial has a good selection of Lincoln mementoes. DC's Chinatown in tiny, it doesn't have the kind of shopping you'd find in NYC or on the west coast.

Anonymous, you are so right. I was just at the building museum yesterday and did a little shopping. Some of the best "stocking stuffers" for adults I have ever seen.

Other great shopping areas are Georgetown for chain stores and some interesting independents. I love Paper Source there. Connecticut ave for some cool shops and Burberry down past Dupont Circle. I have heard that U st has good shops but I haven't been.

Somebody on a different forum attached the below website re U Street shopping:
