Fort Washington Local Favorites

The National Harbor is situated next to the Potomac River; it offers a diverse selection of restaurants ranging from authentic east coast seafood to elegant Asian Fusion, including spicy crab stuffed avocado and Shanghai spareribs. Ben & Jerry's, The Furlough Cheesecake, and Messy Treatz are just a few places that offer mouthwatering desserts. 

In addition to some of the best restaurants in the area, the National Harbor is home to Tanger Outlets, where residents and visitors can shop distinctive boutiques and upscale brand name shops.

The National Harbor is a great place to enjoy the outdoors, whether enjoying the incredible view from the Capital Wheel or people-watching at the marina. When it is time to paint the town red, whether it is date night or a girls' night out, eat, drink, and paint at the Muse Bar or try your hand at Blackjack or poker at MGM Casino. National Harbor is Fort Washington's premiere fun hub. 

Fort Washington is an excellent place for entertainment, but the community is also home to historic landmarks like Fort Washington Park, the city's namesake, and Fort Foote Park.
