Southwest-Waterfront District
|
South of the National Mall is a neigborhood that is home to the award-winning Arena Stage (the first theater company to be awarded a Tony outside of New York). Other attractions of the district include Benjamin Banneker Circle and Fountain, the Titanic Memorial, and L'Enfant Plaza.
The scenic waterfront area features a shimmering array of piers, sailboats, yachts, fishing boats, seafood markets, and restaurants. Sightseeing cruises depart from the marina regularly. Though once a working class immigrant neighborhood, Southwest was revitalized through early urban renewal programs in the 1950s.
