Our Secret: Ward 8’s Hidden View

Did you know that the best view of D.C. isn’t from the top of the Washington Monument? To truly see our city in all its splendor, cross the Anacostia River. Situated at the western tip of Douglass Place SE, you will find a magnificent panoramic view of our nation’s capital. And it’s just steps away from our new headquarters in Ward 8! Roland Denney, a longtime Martha’s Table employee and Ward 8 native, slyly explains of the vista, “Back in my teenage days, that used to be lover’s lane. We used to just park there and marvel looking out at all of Washington and into Virginia.”
