New York Avenue Presbyterian Church
Sep 2, 2007 by Bill from Adelphi, MD
Overall Rating: 10

• Tour conducted by very well informed lay leader!
• None

“A friend and I visited NYAPC on labor day Sunday at the 10:00 am service. Next week, the church switches back to 11:00 am. We had a delightful visit at the church. It just oozes with history. We enjoyed the worship service, the pastor was very friendly and approachable, and the several lay leaders we met were equally as receptive to visitors. Visitors are welcomed to sit in Lincolns original pew which we did. We took the church tour afterwards and found it most fascinating. The church does much outreach to the poor and disenfranchised in the area. Highly recommend anyone to visit.”

Celadon Spa

• Love the atmosphere and the great service.
• Can't think of anything!

“I just moved from Philadelphia, where I had the greatest bikini waxier in the world. I have been to a couple places in the area, but celadon is the best. They have appointments open and business hours to fit the needs of a busy working woman, they are centrally located, and they can work a wax! They don't wax one spot over and over until you are red, the estheticians don't make too much small talk, yet they are pleasant and friendly. Clean environment, and fast service! And they have great little spa/beauty gifts for sale too! Highly recommended.”

Ford's Theatre
Aug 9, 2006 by Michael from Tustin, CA
Overall Rating: 10

• Fascinating historical site.
• If on a tight time schedule, the plays can interfere with your visit.

“The level of care and attention to detail taken to restore this theater to its original configuration and condition is exceptional. The opportunity to see the spot where Lincoln was shot is awesome and I'm so grateful this building is not lost to history forever. The museum in the basement, which contains some incredible items (the pistol used to shoot Lincoln, the clothing and boots worn by the president that night, Booth's dagger, etc.) is absolutely fascinating. If you visit D.C., this is an historical "must-see".”

National Aquarium
Aug 9, 2006 by Minda from Denver
Overall Rating: 1

• Nothing.
• Everything was AWFUL!! Not even air conditioned in the BASEMENT!

“It was terrible and so deceiving! The fish were tiny and not in good surroundings, their "interactive" display is only a little mana ray and he was "resting" at the time, and they have a few sand sharks! TERRIBLE!! When I hear the words "National Aquarium", I expect a "NATIONAL AQUARIUM"- not food tanks for the fisherman's Warf!”

• The diversity of the collection.
• Renovations are ongoing.

“The aquarium is small but easy to navigate and the collection is diverse. The smaller children especially seem to find it entertaining. The staff was helpful and the alligator feeding was fascinating ”
