Union Station

I also visited Union Station on June 11, 2007, on an earlier trip to Washington D.C.

Union Station's front arcade.
The entrance hall, with its barrel-vaulted ceiling.
A close-up of two of the Roman legionnaires overlooking the hall.
If you eat at Pizzeria Uno, you can sit behind the legionnaires.

The East Hall has colorful mosaics, murals, columns, and gradient-shaded 
skylights.  It houses high-end jewelry stands.
The main concourse of the station is in yet another style of 
architecture.  Note the three levels--Union Station doubles as a small 
mall.  (There are 120 vendors here counting food.)
Another perspective on the ceiling of the main concourse.
The area with gates for trains has an arched glass roof.  It feels a bit 
like an airport.

No Picture Associated With These Comments
Union Station has a huge selection of food vendors spread over three food court areas. It has pretty much everything you'd expect or want. I'd guess half the vendors in the mall are food outlets.
