A Downtown Plaza Pairs Fountains with Holiday Lights
Eat lunch among leafy trees at CityCenterDC, with covered tables for an open-air pause in downtown Washington.
⛲ Lunch Among the Trees
Downtown Washington has a pause button at The Park at CityCenter DC. At 1098 New York Ave NW, this public plaza brings open hardscaping and an unusual fountain design into the middle of the city. Nearby office workers have somewhere to step outside between stretches at a desk, with covered tables for an open air lunch.
Leafy trees soften the setting, and ample perimeter seating offers another place to settle. The park is open 24 hours every day, leaving room for a morning stop, an afternoon breather or an evening outdoors.
Toward the end of the year, elaborate holiday decorations change the character of the space. Trees are illuminated from trunk to limb, while an outsized Christmas tree rises through multiple stories. Plan a seasonal return for that transformation, alongside the everyday appeal of having somewhere to sit right in downtown.
