"The chic indoor-outdoor getaway atop Pendry Hotel on the Wharf serves up sushi alongside complex cocktails featuring spirits from Japan. Grab discounted bottles of sake, Japanese Hitachino beer, and bites of fried chicken ($11) and shrimp gyoza ($11) during “social hour” from 4 to 6 p.m. Monday through Thursday. When the sun sets, snag a scenic seat around a fire pit to soak up panoramic views of the Potomac and boats bobbing below." - Tierney Plumb
