Navy Yard
Tingey St and Water St SE.
The Capitol Riverfront neighborhood around Nationals Park, rebuilt from the old naval industrial yards, where the shopping is a small cluster in the Boilermaker Shops at The Yards plus food shops, a winery and a brewery near the river. Best paired with a ballgame or a walk along the Anacostia rather than as a shopping trip on its own.
