Like some of the previous posts, I wouldn’t review this store for ambience but I have to for food. We made a deliberate stop to try some Indian snacks on our way to New York. We tried Bada Pav, Salty lassi, and pistachio faluda and packed samosas for home. I would say it was the most flavorful bada pav I have tested in the US. The drinks were good too and the samosas are huge and delicious. The guy at the register was very considerate. Highly recommend for food.

Well maintained state park at the heart of Gaithersburg. The trail around the lake is about 3.7 miles takes 1.5-2hrs. on average to complete. The entrance fee is $3 per person if you’re MD resident. Plenty parking spots are scattered throughout this park. Saw many people fishing. Swimming is not allowed. As a precautionary measure, pets and children are prohibited to enter the lake due to harmful algae/pollution.

Love coming back to this place. So much greenery. The arboretum has plenty of trails and open spaces to enjoy, explore, or relax. It’s dog friendly too.

Beautiful garden in the heart of DC. Plenty of benches to sit and relax. I have visited the garden in different seasons - spring being my favorite. Sharing some photos from this summer.
