Union station is awesome. So awesome that when we took the train back home, we arrived over two hours early just to explore the place. It’s the most beautiful train station I’ve ever been to.

Union Station was a great place to visit when they had random exhibits or vendors in the great hall. While not the most amazing food, we used to pop into Johnny Rockets before returning home on the Amtrak Silver Star service.

Johnny Rockets - what a throwback.

I have been to D.C. twice(pre-covid) and Union Station was absolutely awesome! Getting around the city as a non-local is pretty easy, hoping that everything gets back to normal soon!

I’m arriving in DC via the C&O Towpath on a bike trip and will be taking Amtrak back to Pittsburgh. I’m assuming it’s the same for us as any other Amtrak rider and when we get to the track, bikes are loaded accordingly? I feel like 2023 is going to be a big year for biking this route.

The Walgreens is a great and cheaper option to grab snacks and drinks for your train ride!

Pls help..will a sprinter van fit at union station for parking for the day? Does anyone know the clearance?

@mrworldextrawide2815 Год назад

I'll throw in Crepe Lena for food in the food court. Super underrated, usually short line, and no 8th graders

Hey Rob, I'm from Costa Rica, I've been watching your videos for a week on a daily basis. I love your YT channel, I'm going to DC this summer and your videos have been very informative. QQ: How long shoud I be in advance for a train to NYC?

@TripHacksDC 2 года назад

If it's your first time using Union Station I'd arrive an hour early to be safe.

@elainegipson6777 Год назад

Buy Amtrak tickets 2-3 weeks in advance for lowest price. Leave Union Station at 6:30 am arrive NYC T 10am - full day in the Big Apple!

You forgot the DC streetcar at the other entrance. I know the tram line lack luster, but is still to be desired but still.

Hope Magnolia Bakery will decide to return and give Union Station another post-COVID chance!

Magnolia was one of the best treats around. It was a sad day when I saw they closed.

thinking about going to DC by Amtrak for one day.....where are the food trucks park and are they close to the Amtrak Station....also love gyros....any suggestions

@Shiny101 3 месяца назад

Going to DC (also by Amtrak) next month. I'm a nervous traveler so I've done a ton of research, even putting on my oculus to go virtually and map things out in my head. I saw a ton of food truck on the street in front of (south side) of Air and Space Museum. Not sure if that's what you meant. It's just a line of trucks.

@RedWaveComing2024 3 месяца назад

@@Shiny101 just got back from from east-west Amtrak travel this February on a Rail Pass ($499)...couldn't remember if we had 4 or 6 hours of layover in DC....but yes, i was able to find the food truck down the hill from the Capitol

Union Station has the worst car lanes in the country for people who are dropping or picking up travelers. The two closest lanes to the station's entrance are only for taxi cabs. And the next two lanes are clogged by Uber and the occasional private car that made it. An absolutely nightmare.

Are there any kosher or halal food options at the station?

@Shiny101 3 месяца назад

Going next month but looking at the maps, I do remember seeing some kind of middle eastern restaurant, I would assume they would be halal.

Amtrak's Union Station acquisition is iffy. The architecture renderings show almost no support for business expansion and retail opportunities. The drawings look like a shiny airport with none of the businesses that create income. If they aren't smart about this, it will just become a place of loitering and drug use, gradually losing it's allure as an iconic place. I hope they have the right intentions.
