The trip to Washington DC was truly awesome, We arrived on Friday (10/6/23) by Amtrak. We stayed in a Sonder. It had a full kitchen. This was near the Navy Yard. Being a Navy veteran that was great to see and hear the raiseing of the flag. We walked to the supermarket . On Saturday we tour the National Museum of African American History and Culture. On Sunday we attended worship service at Riverside Baptist church and walk down to tour the Bible Museum.Then on Monday we was off to the Zoo. Then a sit down meal at the Cheese Cake Factory. We cooked breakfast at the Sonder each morning and save money that way. We traveled around town be Uber. Then on Tuesday (10/10/23) we was back on Amtrak. We're be back.

Union Station is both attractive and functional. In addition to serving as a very convenient travel hub (both Amtak and the Metro meet here), there is interesting shopping and a better than average food court. I always enjoy this place, whether patronizing or just passing through.

We booked Amtrak train day trip from New York to Washington to visit family in April 2023. We were impressed by the unique station architecture which combined heritage with modern style. The station is clean and spacious. There are various food and beverages shops. It is very close to the Capitol (walking distance). Also very close to the hop on hop off buses where you can use to explore the city.

I end up here every trip to DC, mainly because the conference I usually go to is nearby and Union Station is a great place to grab a quick lunch, hit the drugstore for room supplies, and just hang out in the marble halls watching thousands of people rush through. There is also a pretty good tourist gift shop on the far end of the shopping area on the top level that I often get gifts from before heading home. It is worth at least 15 minutes to wander through and think of all the history that has come through here.

I arrived at Union Station from my Amtrak and it is a great station. It is easy to get around, there are plenty of shops and restaurants, and it is beautiful. I walked to the main hall in the front of the station and it is gorgeous!! Union Station is a must visit, even if your not taking Public transportation from there.

Visited: 09/07/2023 Had a delivery from this restaurant to our hotel. It was delicious, and delivered hot and quickly. We had a minced steak sandwich, and a vegetarian steak sandwich, with fries and onion rings. It was divine. Couldn't fault it.

The architecture of the station was pretty good, especially the great hall as soon as you enter. Its design fits to the character of the city, including the metro stations! DC architecture is pretty underrated actually which is kinda sad! There is also a diverse array of shops and restaurants in the station! There is also a food court so sure no one will get hungry while inside!
