[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Spent last Saturday at the Wharf and it was packed. Plenty to see, do and eat. Live DJ, there was a dragon boat race going on, and you can sit with a coffee or ice cream and watch the boats/people.

Went from there over to Navy Yard / Yards Park and had a sampler of local beers at Bluejacket then walked along the boardwalk.

Some call these two waterfront neighborhoods too shiny or planned, and yes that's fair, but I for one love having another neighborhood to check out that is different than the rest of D.C. I won't be living there, but these are fun places to visit on a weekend afternoon.

These two neighborhoods...are you a fan, or not a fan?[/quote]

It's ok to have these places to visit for variety reasons, I would not call it a "neighborhood", it's more like artificial commercial strip type of development where you drive and park to walk around.  Wharf is pretty small and overrated, restaurants were very meh and expensive and not much else to do. Ok for a day or an evening, but no burning desire to be back there honestly given that it's harder to get there.  
Overall it helps to have more areas in DC to go out and spend a day with family/friends, also nice to have more waterfront options served by ferry, but it would be better if service is more frequent.  There isn't much around that part of DC if you don't live there, it's not as accessible, there are also sketchy parts nearby and not a pleasant walk to metro.[/quote]
