The city\u2019s many museums and monuments tell the story of the men and women trying to form a more perfect union and promote democracy, even when those efforts failed, at home or abroad. Visitors will find the American ideal laid out across the city, with institutions such as the National Museum of African American History and the National Museum of the American Indian bracketing the National Archives where the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution are on display.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But for all its neoclassical architecture and Pierre L\u2019Enfant\u2013designed boulevards, Washington is also a modern city, with buzzy neighborhoods such as the Wharf District and the Navy Yard sprouting up along the Potomac and Anacostia Rivers, drawing Washingtonians back to their riverfronts with thoughtful urban design, public piers, and open-air venues. Here\u2019s our guide on how to explore Washington, D.C. on a city break.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"search-widget-overlay\" class=\"search-widget-overlay\">\r\n  <div class=\"search-widget-overlay__form\" data-search-widget-container>\r\n    <div class=\"search-widget-overlay__details\">\r\n      <button class=\"search-widget-overlay__close\" data-search-widget-close>\r\n        \u2715\r\n      <\/button>\r\n      <div class=\"search-widget-overlay__text\">\r\n        Washington      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"search-widget-cta\">\r\n  <button class=\"search-widget-cta__button\" data-search-widget-cta>\r\n    Tickets to Washington  <\/button>\r\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>Eat<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"31428\" src=\"http:\/\/www.omio.co.uk\/window-seat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/The-Wharf-courtesy-of-washington.org_-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31428\"\/><figcaption>The Wharf is a lively area and go-to destination in this boat-friendly city. Credit: Washington.org<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The city\u2019s international and sophisticated culinary scene is flourishing, no matter who walks the corridors of the United States Capitol or the White House, and some of the most exciting dining spots can be found in places like the Wharf District. This sliver of shoreline on the Potomac is separated from the Mall and major sites by a highway, but a $2.5 billion redevelopment brought in hotels, restaurants, and enticing public spaces, creating a true destination that reintroduced Washington to its riverfront. Smartly, the regeneration incorporated the Municipal Fish Market, which opened in 1805, where you\u2019ll find vendors selling blue crabs, oysters, clams, shrimp, scallops, and fresh fish. Pick up steamed crabs or shucked oysters and dine al fresco on one of the Wharf\u2019s piers or take a yellow-topped Wharf Jitney across the narrow strait to East Potomac Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"31434\" src=\"http:\/\/www.omio.co.uk\/window-seat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/The-Municipal-Fish-Market-courtesy-of-washington.org_-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31434\"\/><figcaption>The Municipal Fish Market at The Wharf is an open-air seafood market and a D.C landmark. Credit: Washington.org<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Further down the Wharf at Moon Rabbit, chef Kevin Tien creates Vietnamese-inspired dishes such as lemongrass meatballs and crawfish and noodles with unctuous dabs of crab butter. Meanwhile on the Anacostia River, Capitol Hill and other young staffers fill the condos that have sprouted up in the new Navy Yard area, and whither they go, the nightlife and restaurants follow. Standouts include Albi with its intriguing Levantine wine list, the sharing plates at Chloe, and the Shilling Canning Company\u2019s fresh daily catch from the Chesapeake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Washington was the nation\u2019s first Black-majority city and the city continues to be a hub for Black leaders as well as for the African diaspora. Ben Chili\u2019s Bowl\u2019s link to the Civil Rights movement and Washington\u2019s Black history are as famed as the chili dogs and half-smokes (sausages) they have been serving for more than 60 years. Meanwhile East African fine dining is getting a boost from chef Elias Taddesse\u2019s elevated Ethiopian-American cuisine at Melange, and chef Kevin Onyona\u2019s Swahili Village on M Street is introducing Kenyan dishes to the expense account crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><strong>Play<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"31441\" src=\"http:\/\/www.omio.co.uk\/window-seat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Smithsonian-National-Museum-of-African-American-History-and-Culture-courtesy-of-washington.org_-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31441\"\/><figcaption>The Smithsonian National Museum of African American History opened its doors in 2016 with a ceremony led by then-president Barack Obama.

Museumgoers descend <em>en masse<\/em> to the subterranean floors that showcase the horror of slavery, then follow as the exhibits rise in triumph and tears to reveal how the country\u2019s music, sports, entertainment, art, and culture could not flourish without African Americans.

Start at the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial with its 30-foot-high carved relief, the <em>Stone of Hope<\/em>, which looks across the water at Thomas Jefferson perched on his great rotunda. Linking the two leaders is the moving Franklin D Roosevelt Memorial, which is open 24 hours a day. It\u2019s even better seen at night when the moving water and low-lit stones spotlight his quotes to great effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-5 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"31454\" src=\"http:\/\/www.omio.co.uk\/window-seat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Joan-Miro\u0301_Two-Personages_Kreeger.com_-704x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31454\"\/><figcaption>Admire Joan Mir\u00f3\u2019s 1935 masterpiece <em>Two Personages <\/em>at the Kreeger Museum.

The bland frontage at the Mandarin Oriental belies a lovely green lawn and gardens in the rear with a terraced back section that descends to a bridge and stairs that lead to the riverfront.
