Bethesda
is a busy extension of Washington D.C. You
may not notice that this
modern urban city is a QuaintPlace,
especially on weekdays when you will find heavy traffic and parking
difficulties. But, tucked among the tall buildings, you can find
cafes with a very wide range of cuisine, murals, statues, and many interesting and up-scale
shops and galleries. The best time to explore Bethesda is on
weekends, when it quiets down some, and during festivals. The
"Taste of Bethesda" festival gives you
an opportunity to
Crepes
Italian gelato
sample restaurant fare and be informed about community
organizations. If you are
planning a visit here, be sure to check out the many other nearby spots in Montgomery County, Maryland and
Washington D.C.

Why
shop online?
Prices
and selection
are often better
from these Web
sites than in your
neighborhood stores. Many
of them offer
free packing and
shipping to
your
door or to your
gift recipient. So,
you can save
time, gas, and
money. Merchant
sites must
meet high security
standards to
advertise
on QuaintPlaces.com.
|
Did
you know?
When
you place an
order from these
merchants, they
contribute a small
commission to QuaintPlaces.com. These
commissions
do not increase
the cost of your
purchases. Only
purchases
made within a few
days
after
your
initial "click" to
their sites generate
commissions for us.
(Please do not delete your cookies.)
These
commissions, plus sales of our
own photos and cards, are
necessary
to help defray the
cost of maintaining QuaintPlaces.com,
which currently
operates at a loss.
Your
purchases will
help us provide
more
information
and photos about
quaint places.
