Georgetown, a neighborhood not exactly known for a paucity of shopping options, will soon give D.C. residents a few more ways to indulge in retail therapy. Three big-name chains — eclectic women’s clothing and home accessories retailer Anthropologie (Urban Outfitters’ offering for women age 30-45), Benetton Group’s Sisely, and New York-based Intermix — are alighting in Georgetown Park mall. They join the already-open Capital Segway, a generously-sized yet sparsely furnished space where people who have been enviously watching tourists tool around D.C. on the personal transport devices can try out and purchase their own model. Segway riders can burn the calories they would have otherwise used walking and get their atrophied legs into shape at the newest branch of Washington Sports Club, also located in Georgetown Park.

A number of smaller stores and eateries are also joining the fray at Georgetown’s Cady’s Alley. Chez Mama-San, a “Japanese home-style” restaurant from the owner of the Japan Inn, will feature meatloaf, Japanese crepes, and beignets. Leopold’s is a “European-style” café with pastries and salads. The alley will also be the home to yet another home furnishings store — Random Harvest Studio — and the venerable Gore Dean antiques store, moving to a larger space.
