Beautifully restored to its Art Deco grandeur, Union Station is home to the small and elegant Traxx restaurant and bar. This polished wooden jewel box of a dining room has white linen tablecloths, dramatic lighting, and a view of the throngs of train travelers swishing by. Contemporary American fare is the norm, such as a killer steak sandwich and some of the best crab cakes in the city. Downtown shoppers and traveling executives dine here and harken back to a time when train travel was glitzy.
