THE MUNICIPAL FISH MARKET: Come try the tastes of the oldest fish market in the U.S.! Bring your family to this ever-changing D.C. staple. Find fresh fish and crabs for your next summer dinner or stroll through any day to see what deals inspire your next meal.

THE WHARF'S MUSIC VENUES: The Wharf is a one-stop shop for your next musical experience! Come to The Anthem for bigger acts with a can’t beat atmosphere. Try Union Stage for a more intimate feel to get swept up in. Or head to Pearl Street Warehouse for a night full of beer food and live music. No matter the night -- pick a place and stay for a show!

VIEWS FROM THE WHARF: Check out any rooftop spot in The Wharf for a view over the city! Whiskey Charlie tops the roof of canopy by Hilton. Small plates paired with a drink sets the vibe at 12 Stories. And dining at Officina's Rooftop Oasis gets you the best Italian food. Be prepared for good vibes all around on each rooftop in The Wharf!
