Washington, D.C. : Northeast
Jump to: navigation, search

The Northeast is a large district of Washington, D.C., north of the Capitol Hill, the Anacostia River, and Adams Morgan, and east of Rock Creek Park.

[edit] Understand

Together with nearby similar communities such as Manor Park, Brightwood and Shepherd Park, which all bleed into one another, these areas fill the entire North-Central part of DC located east of Rock Creek.

Rock Creek Park with its Carter Barron Amphitheatre and the Walter Reed Army Medical Center, the main U.S. hospital for returning wounded vets, dominate sections of the Northeast.

  • Union Station, 50 Massachusetts Avenue, NE (Metro: Union Station on the Red Line), +1-(202)-289-1908, [1]. Not just a train station or metro stop, the Beaux Arts architecture of the 1908 building makes it worth a look. Open long after the museums close, it contains shops, restaurants and a cinema. A large monument to Christopher Columbus stands outside the building.  edit

  • Union Station Food Court - on the bottom level of Union Station, located NE of the National Mall. Metro stop: Union Station. The setting is noisy and crowded and the food is nothing special, but the prices are often cheaper than what is available in nearby museums.
