We had a hard time rating the Wharf for food or sight seeing - in all honesty, it is equally as exciting in both areas!
Wharf brings dazzling water views, hot new restaurants, year-round entertainment, and waterside style all together in one inspiring location.
Take a stroll along the water, swing in one of the Wharf's oversized bench swings, play large board games on the water, or visit the largest fresh seafood market in the District.
