Washington Union Station is a major transportation hub and historic train station located in Washington, D.C., USA. Union Station opened in 1907 and was designed by architect Daniel Burnham. It was constructed to consolidate the city's various railroad terminals into one grand station.
Located in the historic D.C. City Post Office next to the restored Union Station, the Smithsonian’s National Postal Museum showcases the largest and most comprehensive collection of stamps and philatelic material in the world—including postal stationery, vehicles used to transport the mail, mailboxes, meters, cards and letters, and postal materials that predate the use of stamps.
NoMa, short for "north of Massachusetts Avenue", is a neighborhood of Washington, D.C., located in Ward 6 of the city. The neighborhood encompasses the region north of Massachusetts Avenue located north and east of Union Station. It includes the Sursum Corda, Eckington, and Near Northeast areas, as well as a section known as Swampoodle.
Sitting just north of New York Avenue NE in Eckington at 227 Harry Thomas Way NE, this 2.5-acre green space features an expansive green lawn, a children’s playground, a dedicated dog park, vibrant murals and other great amenities.
Great Laotian food is no longer half a world away. Inspired by the bright, vibrant, and simple flavors of Laos, Laos in Town brings quality Laotian cuisine directly to NoMa. The white marble countertops, contrasting black and white floors, and large outdoor patio brings just the right splash of modernism to Laos in Town.
