L'Enfant Plaza

A little confused what this is. I think it's a fancy train station/transfer hub, I guess. Anyway, I found out about it because I was staying at the hotel nearby. If you're staying at the Hilton, there's a direct connection to it from the hotel. So this place is helpful because it has several fast food options. Nothing to rave about, but when you're traveling access to quick, fast food is important. Many food places either seemed always closed when I went a few times or open at inconsistent times. The place also never seems busy. Kinda ghost town-ish. Panda Express seemed to be the main attraction here. All together tho, it was clean. I think the space has potential to be a more useful shopping space for people.

This underground area pedway beneath the Spy Museum and Hilton boasts several food options: Sbarro, Panda Express, DC Dogs, Bi Bim Bop, etc. along with a few shops, post office and metro stop. This area does not have many above ground options but this is a nice respite from the Spy Museum.

This is a necessary stop to connect to and from work but on way home yesterday about 415ish as I waited for the Silver line near the 6th car platform an upsetting incident happened. I witnessed this old frail looking lady charged at this similarly frail looking man and pushed him down with no hesitation. The blue line was coming and fortunately he fell parallel flat backward to the platform and not onto the tracks... it was scary. Incidentally, even while still arguing, both got onto the blue line and by all accounts through the window as the train left, they still appear to be trading 'words...Alas, Silver line came I went in and went about thr day as if with normalcy...TBH, I hate this part of my commute even just twice a week in DC...

I walk through L'Enfant Plaza a few times a week. It's a really nice bypass to different places. For instance, it's connected to L'Enfant Plaza Metro Station, Spy Museum, several employment agents, several restaurants, etc. All of the restaurants are ran smoothly and the food is good. There's a little coffee shop located beside a buffet and both are very tasty. I just discovered this Plaza but I'm ver impressed. Why?If you're traveling into DC to site see, this plaza can be a lifesaver for many reasons.1. Public Restrooms2. Plenty of Restaurants 3. Security 4. Metro 5. Outdoor Seating I could go on.

The plaza stores are all closed or closing down.Nothing there to shop.The have some fast food places that are ok.

Really handy food court with nice bathrooms. They feature a good selection of express restaurants.

This place is loud, dirty and doesn't have enough table and chairs. One star because the Metro is close by.

Updated review: L'Enfant Plaza is a convenient location to change metro lines. I ride more than my check ins reflect. It doesn't always work out to check in, or there isn't a signal. You can grab a bite at several restaurants nearby. Parking is tricky.

L'Enfant Plaza is a big mall. It's not much different from your local one. The difference is there's several local restaurants and stores. It's just a place to eat and buy clothes. This is connected to a Metro station which is the best thing about it. It has mostly fast food. It has places like Five Guys. There's Amsterdam Falafel, which is one of the few local restaurants. Be careful about when you go. The businesses have strange hours. It often seems like almost everything is closed. The stores that are here mostly are chains so it's not like you can't go to another mall. Overall it's just pretty boring. Hours are weird for a mall. They seem to be busy weekdays and not so much on weekends.

L'Enfant Plaza is an off-the-beaten-path spot in the heart of Washington, D.C. It's just off the National Mall and home to several government buildings designed in brutalist architecture. On the outside, it is a plaza with tables, benches and several colorful murals. On the inside is an underground tunnel system taking you to many fast-casual restaurants and entrances to hotels and even the International Spy Museum.
