Union Station Washington DC is such a beautiful example of Beaux-Arts Architecture.

It was completed in 1908 and becomes more lovely with every year.

Aditi Indian Kitchen
It's true, on all counts!

Not only is Union Station one of the most beautiful buildings in the country, they house my

now favorite Indian Restaurant outpost in the food court! The main Aditi Indian Restaurant

is in Georgetown, it's on my list for my next visit to D.C. The food would have been very

good in any setting but, was amazingly good fare for a train station!! My lunch was $7.95,

inexpensive and wonderful!

On a recent chilly day in midtown manhattan, I bought this little bag of chestnuts from a kindly

little man. Remembering the Christmas song involving chestnuts roasting on an open fire, I imagined that they would be fabulous. Surprisingly, they reminded me of a baked potato.A bad baked potato that maybe exploded in the oven and cooked some more. And then there was no sour cream or chives. In case you are wondering about chestnuts, here is the story:

I looked all over Dallas and New York for the perfect winter hat only to find it
at this darling little place in Union Station, Washington D.C.

The beautiful marble mantle pictured here is original to this Greenwich Village brownstone.
I would love to know exactly how old it is. These candles are soy with cotton
wicks, from Bed,Bath and Beyond at 19th street and 6th ave, NYC. They add such a lovely glow to this fireplace.
