There is a mixture of wholesale businesses and trendy retail storefronts in the Florida Ave Market area. Wall art and decorations make an interesting landscape. We attended an event there but i would like to explore the area and it's food scene.

Such a cool space! I'm a wedding photographer and my couple had such a good time hosting their reception at Dock 5. The wide open space was flexible, allowed for plenty of connection with guests without being overwhelming, had a huge dance floor, and overall had an intriguing modern look.
