Food & Shopping

  • The grooviest place on the National Mall

    Whether you are fond of the Psychedelic Sixties or the Big Eighties, our newly revamped store is the place you want to be. You’ll find a large selection of merchandise that will bring back memories of the hours you spent in front of the TV as a child (were you a fan of “I Love Lucy” or Gumby?) and make you nostalgic for toys like the Slinky and Rubik’s Cube. Be the first kid on your block with a Beatles lunchbox.

    The store is on the west side of our National Mall entrance, second floor. Be there or be square. Peace.
