Buying Power Let's face it: You don't come to this part
of D.C. to go shopping. Still, there are some hidden gems you'll want to
explore.
After you make your selection at Olsson's Books & Records, read
awhile at the in-house Footnotes Cafe. Zenith Gallery attracts art
lovers, while Upstairs on 7th features sophisticated, unique clothing.
Order iced tea and a salty oat cookie at Teaism, and then peruse the
shop next door.
Don't forget about the gift shops at D.C.'s fine museums. Among our
favorites: the National Building Museum. Choose cool
architecture-related gifts as well as games and projects for budding
builders.
