The Wharf Neighborhood has lots to offer - with an app to download and check it all out before you even arrive!
A handy and FREE shuttle runs from the Wharf hotels to the National Mall (think monuments not shopping!).
This is one of our favorite indoor spots in DC. The Atrium is beautiful rain or shine and its one of the few Smithsonians open later than 5PM--and who doesnt like a good presidential portrait to boot! We like to hang out here before we go to church (next door) on Tuesday nights after work.
Coffee shop/book store/bar/restaraunt/poetry and spoken word performance venue -- What more could you want?
This one used to be located in our old neighborhood and was an old favorite. It only got better when it moved to a much bigger empty lot along DC's other featured river! Outdoor seating, unique brews, a friendly junkyard dog
