"With its October 2017 debut, The Wharf has revitalized a mile-long stretch of the Potomac waterfront south of the National Mall. Come here to shop and dine; rent kayaks in summer or ice skate in winter; catch a concert at the Anthem (run by the 9:30 Club folks) or a kid-friendly event; and even spend the night at one of the Wharf's hotels. In short, you won't be bored; there are more than 20 restaurant options alone."
