From a press release:

“Capitano, a new Italian dining destination, is set to open this March in Washington, DC. Located at The Wharf DC – DC’s dynamic waterfront neighborhood – Capitano (975 7th Street, SW) will bring the warmth of Italy to the heart of the capital, with a seasonal, ingredient-driven menu inspired by Southern and Coastal Italian cuisine.

Capitano blends tradition with a touch of modern ease. It’s approachable, never fussy and where a plate of housemade pasta or the day’s crudo feels just as natural with a spritz at lunch as it does with a bottle of wine under the evening lights. (more…)


From Diverse Market Management:

“Farmers Market SW will reopen at The Wharf this spring, securing a new long-term home just two blocks away at M Street Landing following a successful ten-year residency at 4th and M Street SW. The market is scheduled to reopen on Saturday, April 4, and will continue to operate weekly on Saturdays through November from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The relocation was made possible through a partnership between The Wharf and Diverse Market Management, who worked together to ensure the market remains in Southwest and continues serving residents with access to fresh, locally sourced food.

From I.M.P.:

“Night after night, The Anthem fills The Wharf with fresh beats, having hosted nearly 3 million fans since it opened in 2017. But for its latest release, The Anthem and its kitchen partners at Eco Caters are bringing something new: fresh frites! Eco Caters serves both artists backstage and fans at concessions at The Anthem, and, starting today, artists, fans, friends, and passersby alike are in for some good eats with the all-new Frites and Greet stand, located just across the walkway from The Anthem, by District Pier.

Serving fresh, hand-cut, European-style frites (like French fries, but better!), the potatoes at this stand have been double-fried to ensure maximum flavor with just the right ratio of crispiness. Each order comes with one free housemade dipping sauce with uniquely musical takes on classics, like Mean Mr. Mustard, Smoke On The Water, or Ranch Against The Machine. With seven different sauces* to choose from, it’s okay to get lost in the sauce, as each additional flavor is only 75 cents. The final piece of the puzzle? Pair the frites with one of three different housemade sparkling lemonades (strawberry, mango, or blackberry) to stay refreshed despite the sweltering summer sun. (more…)
