Such a hidden gem in the District. Love this place!
People get turned off by its surroundings, but this place is truly a hidden gem! Go in the spring for the azalea gardens in full bloom!
Secret doors and passages are usually full-length mirrors or bookshelves
Found at least 6 secret doors
The most awesome part is finding the 70-plus secret doors that H.H. installed. Her children are still looking for 22 of them. I've found only eight... so just 62 more to go! Read more.
What a hidden gem! Lovely to enjoy coffee that isn't burned or poorly brewed.

A hidden treasure among DC museums.
A hidden gem. Very gorgeous with a cool modern art section.
LOVE the "open" conservation labs and storage! An interesting side to museums that you rarely see. Don't leave without seeing this part of the museum on the third floor mezzanine and fourth floor.
This is definitely a D.C. Hidden Gem!
Great museum that is never crowded, with exhibits spanning from the revolution.
Make sure to bring passport or suitable ID as you need to fill in big form for background check at the visitor desk.

A hidden gem for vinyl lovers...spend an hour flipping through the racks on a lazy weekend afternoon...you're sure to find a few nice platters.
Friendly staff with great suggestions. A good mix of old and new vinyl.
I hadn't been here in a while. Great vinyl shop second only to Crooked Beat in DC. Bought three LP's
The real hidden gem here is the tiny pop up restaurant, Spoken English, that is standing only and one of the most unique dining experiences in DC thanks to chef Mario Almeida
Love this place. From the trendy decor to hip restaurants/coffee shop inside to comfortable bed to fun location - this place gets an “A” in my book.
Words cannot describe just how fabulous this place is. Don't die and go to heaven without dining here.
The Smithsonian's American Craft museum and gallery is one of DC's hidden gems. Make sure to check out the contemporary glass art upstairs.
The bug room was awesome. The whole wonder exhibit was great. A weekday visit is definitely recommended if you have time.
See the Ghost Clock.
Maine Ave. Fish Market is one of the great hidden gems of DC. Go here to buy your seafood instead of the grocery store, it is much better quality and you're supporting local business.
There is nothing in the seafood category that you cant find in here! All of the fresh and huge! 😅 I loved it. Also prices are reasonable.
