The Eisenhower Metro is central to many folks who make their home in and near the Carlyle District. The Eisenhower Metro is located inside the Beltway near Carlyle Towers and the Hoffman Center.
The pride of the Hoffman Center is the AMC Hoffman Theater. AMC Hoffman 22 is a 22-screen theater making it the largest movie complex in Northern Virginia and second largest in the region. Built in 2001, it is a relatively new theater. There ATM machines for purchasing tickets and advance ticket pickup. Ten of the screens are on the first floor with a very large lobby leading to a escalator or elevator to the second floor with 12 more screens. Two of theaters seat 410, and three others seat 318.
There are a number of restaurants and shops at the Hoffman Center. Among these are:
- Ted's Montana Steakhouse -- Bison, buffalo and good old American fare. This is one of my personal favorites.
- Ruby Tuesdays -- More than just a burger
- San Antonio Bar & Grill -- Tex-Mex food, busy bar scene
- Cold Stone Creamery -- hand-mixed premium ice cream
- California Tortilla -- A great little taco joint
- Bread & Chocolate -- Bread & Chocolate serves up pastries, gourmet desserts and sandwiches along with coffee and other drinks.
- Galae Thai --- Thai cuisine
- Delia's --- The newest addition to the Hoffman Center.
Delia's is a Mediterrean / Greek cafe that has been generally well-recieved by Eisenhower locals.
There is paid parking available in the garage next door and surface parking available for free. At night and on the weekends. when the offices of the Hoffman Center are closed, there is additional surface parking available for free.
