The WNYMedia boys take Washington by storm! (Andrew, Mark and Peter)

Whenever the USRT hits Washington, DC, we always try to check out something new about this amazing city where there is so much to see and experience.

So this afternoon, we took the subway into downtown (really the only way to do it right the trains here are awesome), and connected with Mark Byrnes, who runs one our sister sites at WNYMedia, All Things Buffalo. Mark is pursuing his degree in urban planning at UB, and is home with his family for the summer.

Mark was kind enough to take us on a walking tour of some of DC’s cool spots, and we checked it all out - the museums, the government buildings, Union Station, the cool architecture. It was a kickass time!

Later on we stopped at a little bistro in the train station and ordered up a round of drafts - then bid Mark goodbye as we headed back on the subway and towards the Navy Yard station and Nationals Park for a 7:10 PM first pitch. A brand new USRT frontier awaits!

A really cool and unique feature about the Verizon Center - the main marquee is in English and Chinese

The “Newseum” is an interactive museum dedicated to the newspaper publishing industry. Notice that the building looks like a stack of papers

Union Station here in DC is an incredible building from both inside and outside
