This place used to be cool and then Trump bought it and broke it, like everything else he touches.

Best Indian Food on the go, been eating here for years & the Samosas are great! They usually have summer concerts/live musical artist but it is a touris site.

The shopping and dining is run down. They're closing and renovating soon. Only thing worth doing now is taking the elevator to the top!

The free self-guided tour of the Clock Tower is a great alternative to waiting hours to go up the Washington Monument .

Rachel Cannon

Kind of a tourist trap, but the bagel place is the best joint around for cheap bagel sandwiches . Also a fan of the uttapam at the Indian place.

Brent Cottrell

The pavillion food court feels like time forgot it and it is 100 degrees. Tower is great though

Lisa Cuesta

Great view of the district on the 12th floor - expensive food court and souvenir shops downstairs

Jonathan Sullivan

There's airport style security here, so be prepared.

DC Preservation League

Built in 1891-99, using the design of architect Willoughby J Edbrooke.

Emma Kelly

The metal detector and security is annoying and unnecessary. The food court (except for Ben and Jerry's) is lackluster.

Tim James

Have to go between 12-1pm during the week to hear live performances from local artist / musicians .

Kyle Van Son

"Dining" is a bit of a stretch, banner out front. Just a mall in some interesting architecture .

Bink Stewart

Great place for lunch if you are working at IRS or EPA

Dirty Bird

Great view from the top

Kathy W.

The Bagel Place is great. The cashier is super friendly !

Brad Bucy

The people who work here are ass hats and should be fired. Specially the security guys at door. Dicks.

City Electronic should be called City Electronic Rip-Off. Cheap quality merchandise; often breaks w/in the first hour after leaving the store. If you want to throw your money away, just give it to me.

Elyse Pilapil

Try the pork chop at Chick-en-Joy!

As of May 1, 2014, the Old Post Office is closed for renovations.

139 stairs or elevator ride?That is the question.

Good variety of food. Bathrooms were nasty.

Not many food options. Don't waste time going through security unless you want to go up in the tower.

Hosoi Sushi is my fav Japanese deli .
