SHOPPING AREAS
1. THE FASHION CENTRE AT PENTAGON CITY
The local cliché is that this expansive mall has become the main downtown shopping
area, even though it is not in the city center. But it is less than 10 minutes away by
Metro, and there is a train stop right in the mall. Nordstrom and Macy's are the an-
chors here, but there are over 170 other establishments, including Abercrombie &
Fitch, Banana Republic, and Joseph A. Banks. A food court, spa, and restaurants com-
plete the attractions.

2. SHOPS AT GEORGETOWN PARK
Although the interior of Georgetown Park is closed, pending approval of a big tenant,
the shops that surround this mall, on M Street and Wisconsin Avenue, are still vi-
brant. Check out Anthropologie, J. Crew, and Banana Republic, taking a break at the
renowned French bakery Paul's.

3. FRIENDSHIP HEIGHTS
This area in the far northwest of the city is home to some of the most elegant and ex-
clusive retail outlets in the city. Mazza Gallerie is a small, upscale mall at 5300 Wis-
consin Ave, NW. Kron Chocolatier is here, along with Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Av-
enue Men's Store, and Williams-Sonoma Grande Cuisine. Other stores on Wisconsin
Avenue include Tiffany & Co (No. 5500), Dior (No. 5471), and Cartier (No.5454).
4. POTOMAC MILLS MALL
This is among the best-known discount outlet malls on the East Coast and one of the
largest in the world. Over 200 stores have discounts up to 70 percent off suggested re-
tail prices. Their own in-mall TV station broadcasts special deals and newly available
products. A shuttle bus runs from a number of stops in the metropolitan area.
