Lobster With a Side of Gorgeous Views at the Washington Harbour

Picture 10Sick of being inside all day? Take a walk along the public boardwalk and soak in the gorgeous views of the Potomac River. With plenty of shops and restaurants, the recently renovated Washington Harbour offers everything for a relaxing Sunday afternoon to a romantic Friday evening.

The various restaurants range from American grill to Mexican, but they are primarily known for seafood. Many are located along the water, letting diners enjoy the views with their food. Not only are the waters beautiful, but the fountains, docked boats and backdrop of the Kennedy Center make the views truly spectacular, especially at night. There are also many bars along the water, offering a unique nightlife experience.

Sightseeing cruises depart here as well, making it easy to get inspired and explore more of Washington. The crowd is always bustling at this historic Georgetown hotspot so you’re sure to meet new friends or run into some old ones.

NY Waterway

New York Waterway tours offer a variety of entertaining and informative cruises year-round. There are 90-minutes harbor cruises that travel up both the Hudson and East Rivers, from midtown on the west side to the United Nations on the east side. There are also an assortment of 50-minute downtown cruises that depart from historic Pier A in Battery Park. All stop near the Statue of Liberty…great for photo-ops. If you think cruises are just a daytime activity, think again! The twilight evening cruises, happy hour cruises and late-night party cruises are the best part! Plus, if you’re a Yankee fan you might opt to skip the traffic and head up to the stadium ship-style on the Yankee Clipper cruise.
