The Wharf boasts 25+ restaurants and bars, including DC favorites Shake Shack and Taylor Gourmet. I am particularly excited to try out Del Mar, a Spanish-inspired seafood restaurant by Fabio Trabocchi, and Officina, an Italian market on the ground floor, a full restaurant on the second, and a rooftop bar with views of the Potomac on the third floor.
3. Check out the original fish market

Did you know that the nation’s oldest continuously operating open-air fish market is located right here in DC? The Fish Market features both fresh and cooked fish, and typically offers shrimp, fresh fish, clams, blue crab, and oysters. Perfect for all of your seafood needs this holiday season.
4. Catch a show

Run by the same team that operates DC’s well-known 9:30 Club, The Anthem is DC’s newest venue to catch your favorite band, attend a seminar, or host your next charity gala. Over the next few months, you can see O.A.R, Pentatonix, The Killers, Walk the Moon, Justin Moore, Little Big Town, and many, many more!
