Metro Center
607 13th St.
NW, Washington, DC
Metro Center on the red line may be one of the busiest stations in the entire Metro system. Not only does it connect to the blue and orange lines, but it also provides access to several areas that may be of interest to the average teenager. A few blocks away is the E Street Cinema, which shows foreign and indie films similar to those at Bethesda Row. The tickets are expensive, but E Street shows many movies not shown at any other D.C. theaters. H&M, the popular clothing store, is also only a block away. With its European-styled clothes at relatively inexpensive costs, H&M is one of the best places to get clothes in downtown D.C. Potbelly's is also nearby, giving any person access to a cheap and fast sandwich store. Overall this area is full of possibilities, from a dinner and a movie combo to a full day of shopping. Metro Center is within 20 minutes of either the Silver Spring or Takoma Metro stops.
