Danny Diaz
A men's store offering professional wear, just about one block north of the State Dept., so a lot of Foreign Service Officers have shopped here over the past 40 years as well as the occasional congressman or president. The owner is a top-notch tailor, and the tailoring is included in the priceâyou can get a suit with a perfect fit at a good price here.
American Institute of Architects Bookstore
Good selection of books on architecture and history, along with some architectural photography books and other items.
Indian Craft & Map Store shops
Want to own a piece of America? OK, you can't actually walk in and purchase federal lands, or buy a mining permit. The gift shops, however, are open to the public. In business since 1938, the Indian Craft Shop has numerous American Indian handcrafted items, including pottery and jewelry, as well as books. The map store resides under the name of "Earth Science Information Center."
GW University Bookstore
There's one reason to come here, and that's GW paraphernaliaâapparel, mugs, stationery, books, etc.
Reiter's Scientific Books
The leading scientific, medical and technical bookstore on the East Coast, with a loyal following of visiting scientists and scholars. It also claims the distinction of the city's oldest bookstore, in business since 1936.
While this is not at all a shopping destination, there are a few shops and restaurants located at 2000 Pennsylvania Ave, near George Washington University, with original townhouse facades preserved on the exterior of the building. There are a couple of really top notch bookstores as well.
Downtown shopping in the West End is rather dispersed, but there are shops at International Square, located near the Farragut West station on the Orange and Blue Lines, and along Connecticut Ave north of K St, and here and there on streets near Connecticut Ave.
Washington Law Books
Washington Law Books, affiliated with Reiters, has a selection of books geared towards law students and professionals, as well as books on international studies, political science, and economics.
