Navy Yard

Security down by the USS Barry is tighter since the shooting incident in 2013. That’s a good thing as it used to be too easy to come and go from the pier to the yard’s work buildings. I also used to live here and while it was fun to live in such a historic building, it was odd walking my dog where the bigwigs live ;-). There certainly is lots of history and I love that they kept all the cannons. Check out the Navy Museum as it is open to the public and features cool stuff with a gift store too. Leutze Park is beautiful especially at Christmas time with the huge tree lit up.

Nice little jog to work either from Eastern Mkt or Navy Yard metro stops. Eastern mkt is a little bit shorter of a distance. Parking is an issue, but now a free shuttle runs from L’enfant plaza metro station to the Navy Yard in the mornings and afternoons. Other options available now are slug lines. Either of these options are worth at least looking into if you can’t carpool in. Definitely better than sitting in traffic and driving yourself!

Not a bad place but don’t expect parking if you arrive after 8am. Too many employees and not enough parking.
