L'Enfant Plaza
600 Maryland Avenue
SW, Washington, DC
Despite its lack of shops, the L'Enfant Plaza station gives Metro riders a chance to stop by both the Hirshhorn modern art museum and the National Mall. From the station's exits, passengers can catch a glimpse of the Capitol and the Botanical Gardens. While enjoying the local museums, Metro patrons can catch a bite to eat at the world's largest McDonald's, conveniently located inside the Air and Space Museum, while admiring some of the oldest airplanes ever to touch the sky right along side several Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles on display in the museum. The Air and Space Museum also houses one of two IMAX theatres located in D.C.

Phillips: Fresh seafood on the waterfront
(6/27/2005)
Nestled on the waterfront in Southwest DC, only a few blocks from the L'Enfant Plaza, Phillips Flagship offers a hearty meal, a casual atmosphere and views of both the Potomac and the Capital Yacht Club that serve as the perfect compliment to the restaurant's offerings. The location is convenient to the L'Enfant Plaza Metro station, and its proximity to the Mall and many of the District's monuments and museums make Phillips the perfect place to dine after a day spent touring DC.
