Other amenities include free Wi-Fi, printers, fax machines, computers, and "media pods" for private meetings or TV viewing, library, and exercise room.

places to grab food
NoMa will soon have two exciting new eateries. Heidi’s Brooklyn Deli and Sister’s Pizza & Mussels will open by the end of the month in the ATF Retail Building just outside the New York Avenue Metro station at 2nd and N Street, N.E. The restaurants will serve customers from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. seven days a week, and offer delivery service to nearby homes and businesses. They join Pound Coffee and Five Guys Burgers & Fries, which opened in 2008.
Heidi’s Brooklyn Deli features such deli favorites as pastrami, corned beef, lox, Reubens, cheesesteaks, roast beef, turkey, and BLT, along with fresh salads, wraps, soups, healthy smoothies, breakfast selections, cheesecake, and other treats. Sister’s Pizza & Mussels, named after founder Steve Naples’ two pizza-loving daughters, specializes in New Jersey-style pizza, calzones, jumbo wings, steamed mussels with various sauces, steamed clams, fried calamari, and even a pizza with mussels and other seafood toppings.

What is "NoMa" please?
NoMa = North of Massachusetts Avenue. Visit the NoMa BID website -- www.nomabid.org -- to see the boundaries of the NoMa area. == Scott ==
Speaking of development, does anyone know what the status is on that Martini bar in the old firehouse on N. Cap.? Are they still proceeding with that or has the plug been pulled? What's the latest on Baraki on 1st Street? Does anyone have any more info?
This is good news. I live in Eckington and would love some goood takeout/delivery options nearby. These seem promising.
word on the eckington listserve is that the firehouse has stalled out.
I also read in DC North (think it was the December issue?) that work on Baraki has stalled due to the owner waiting for a better financial climate. It's my guess that they are having a tough time obtaining decent terms on a construction loan.
The Courtyard by Marriott hotel is also supposed to have an Au Bon Pain Cafe. According to PR folks at Marriott, the opening of the hotel should take place the first week of April. Not sure if this also applies to the Au Bon Pain.
This is wonderful news! More delivery, and places to go blocks from "North Capitol Hill" :)
