The
Southwest Waterfront along the Potomac River has been redeveloped in recent years and now serves as a popular cultural center.
The Wharf, as it is called, contains the city's historic
Maine Avenue Fish Market. This is the oldest fish market currently in operation in the entire United States. The Wharf also has many hotels, residential buildings, restaurants, shops, parks, piers, docks and marinas, and live music venues.
