I never realized what a national treasure The National Archives is...
A friend from the Philippines shared a story about a relative helping the allies in WWII....we were able to trace a photo of the relative from National Archives records....learned so much about the "back story" of the Philippines impact/importance from declassified records...simply amazing.
Helpful staff...
Be prepared for high security (understandably so)...
Took the shuttle from the downtown Archives building...
Enjoy!
The good - This is a nice place to enjoy time with a friend...great views. Food offerings were on par for a roof top bar.

The "beef" - The bar area is small...enough for hotel guests to enjoy and groups of two.
The bar size and the bar service are not satisfactory for handling a group or a table with more than 3.
Do not go expecting table service (none). You must go to the small bar to order everything...paying for a table or a round of drinks was a challenge.
Paying for a $40 shot of whiskey served in plastic glassware (?)...I did enjoy my table guests, the view and the weather. I expected better service...
Attended the launch of their "Chapman's Apple Brandy"...the brandy...ultra smooth(as in VSOP smooth!). The ambiance is fantastic . Spacious, with lots of cozy spaces, and couches. The bar area has ample seating at the bar as well as table seating close by. Great crowd...I will be back.
A great gallery...
