Here’s how to celebrate in style at DC’s Del Mar on the Wharf! A beautiful spread of Valencia-style Paella dishes with Maine Lobster, Tiger Prawn, PEI Mussels, and Monkfish; a trio of musical talent played soothing classics from Billie Holiday; charcuterie boards of cured meats and artisanal Spanish cheeses; an open bar overlooking the waterfront; with friends and family surrounding you, bubbly in hand!
