Vaughn HillyardFebruary 15, 2013If looking for a zen grocery experience, Eastern Market is the go-to. For one, there's a tremendous apple stand. Pink lady and golden crisps are top notch. And buy a jar of McCutcheon's honey inside.
Rachel ShifmanApril 5, 2016A really community-enriching experience. Very interesting art stalls and delicious food! I love coming here for apple cider or breakfast food on Sunday morning.
Great weekend market full of artisans, food, and antiques. Be sure to ask about the origin of the foods in the farmer's market; not all the vendors use local produce.
William JohnsonApril 12, 2017Got the crab cake platter. There are massive chunks of crab in it and it tasted AMAZING. By far the best crab cake I've ever had. Highly recommended and would come back again. 10 out of 10!
Jorge MachaenDecember 2, 2017The Latino Delight was delicious. My girlfriend got one with blue berries, peach, blackberries and sweet cheese. Phenomenal and affordable. Kept us full for about 4 hours.
Camille BietteMay 12, 2013Go there for lunch in the weekend. Have a walk in the appetizing stands and order some delicious crab cakes for your lunch which you can take at a table outside.
Derek FromsonJune 8, 2013Browse for fresh produce, fish, meat, chicken. Scant offerings if you're looking for a lunch spot. Only Market Place and another sandwich place exist, with lines and not much seating at either spot.
Amanda WisecarverDecember 22, 2016Really amazing place. Sunday is the best time to go, all the venders are out.
Dara FisherDecember 26, 2012On Sundays during the warm weather months Eastern Market has a great street fair with artists, musicians, and a good flea market too! Go here for some more (ahem) personal souvenirs.
Washington PostSeptember 12, 2013Eastern Market, a leafy, Capitol Hill neighborhood radiates from the city’s oldest remaining public market, built in 1873. Read this story by local Gene Weingarten. Read more
Kimberly GarciaOctober 29, 2013Check out antiochia for wonderful products at the outdoor flea market to the right of Eastern Market. Best place to shop for a unique gift for yourself or others. http://www.soapsantiochia.com/
Otis MgrotisApril 13, 2012Seriously. Omg. Fried oyster sandwich ion a bed of slaw with hot sauce. Dear god. And ps. Some of the most hilarious and gorgeous ladies on the hill. I come here everytime I am in DC.
Fanny CanarDecember 7, 2013I was at the Eastern Market North Hall for the 2013 Benefit Reception of Unity Health Care, it was great, nice people good food and excellent music, and it was from 6 to 10 pm.
Jackie MikhaylovJuly 2, 2015Beautiful bookstore here, books stacked to the ceiling! Capital hill books is definitely a place to visit.
Sarah K.June 4, 2013Foodie? Tourist? Even if you can't cook a rabbit in your hotel room, come here for tasty pastries, breads, produce, and lovely flowers--with arts and crafts on weekends.
The Hill is HomeMay 18, 2012The <3 of the neighborhood since 1863. Along with the weekend flea market, the indoor food market is open Tuesday through Sunday. http://www.thehillishome.com/tag/eastern-market/
Design*SpongeAugust 3, 2014During the week, an amazing market with fresh food, produce and flowers. On the weekends, it transforms into a world market. Read more
A hot dog (or half-smoke) and chips from the meat vendor in the middle of the market is one of the best and cheapest eats in DC. His selection is always changing, sausage, hot-halfs...
Angie HarmonSeptember 3, 2015The vendors inside can get just about any meat product you want, from genuine jamon iberico de bellota to whole sheep heads.
The Ritz-CarltonAugust 13, 2013On weekends, enjoy people watching & stall-shopping. Shop for international imports, jewelry, and other unique souvenirs.
Bri JonesJune 18, 2011The lemonade guy is the best! He can add strawberries, raspberries and all sorts of other fruit --so good! He's way in the back of the flea market section, don't miss him!- Kimberly GarciaOctober 29, 2013If u want to enjoy your food there at the market make sure to bring your own plastic ware. The seafood lunch spot in the market will not share plastic ware.
Chelsea StephensDecember 19, 2014I love the selections available year round, but it's fantastic for seasonal foods! :) support your local farmers!!- Rachel LNovember 5, 2014Awesome outdoor marketplace. Tons of really cool vendors, great spot to buy a unique gift.
Camille WrightSeptember 25, 2015Iconic market. A must stop for tourists looking to experience real DC. Great hot dog stand and crafts vendors.
Josh HigginsOctober 3, 2015Lots of great local vendors selling food, drinks, and craft items. A must for anyone new to DC!
JanaFebruary 6, 2019Small indoor market in the winter with little specialties. They don't have samples out though, so more window shopping than trying things.- Julie GerdesMay 24, 2010If you go when the weather is warm, the sorbet and crepe folks will undoubtedly be out among the art, thrift and produce vendors. Grab a crepe and some strawberry jalapeno or coconut pear sorbet.
DC Preservation LeagueJuly 22, 2011One of three remaining public markets, constructed by the city's premier post-Civil War architect. Eastern Market was a noteable achievement in the development of modern and clean public services.
I love the variety and quality here. It is small enought to get to know the vendors. Become a regular!
Affinia Hotel CollectionAugust 30, 2012The Eastern Market has much more to offer than just fresh produce: be sure to check out the handmade jewelry, crafts, and antiques, too!
The Liaison Capitol HillAugust 30, 2012The Eastern Market has much more to offer than just fresh produce: be sure to check out the handmade jewelry, crafts, and antiques, too!
Taste and See ™December 30, 2012If you're gonna be cooking up some black eyed peas for the First Day of the Year, you should probably go to the market today! They're closed on Mondays. Don't forgot the pork, it's good luck!
HISTORYApril 1, 2010The market operated from 1873 until 2007. At the start of the 20th century the market was recognized as the unofficial "town center" of Capitol Hill. Badly damaged by fire in 2007, it reopened in 2009
Jeb GavinMarch 26, 2010Pray you go on a day the donut guy is working. Makes mini donuts, fresh, to order, has cinnamon and sugar to sprinkle on them right there, and a killer white chocolate sauce. Nice guy, too.
Allison PriceAugust 9, 2011Get the Orangeade and a pretzel! Also get Santa Rita coffee from the coffee guy...he has red bags. Sunny's Pearls is great for jewelry.
Morgan ThomasMarch 6, 2012Get lost in the abundance of arts, crafts, food and great people watching! The ideal place to be on a sunny weekend.
Yetta BungieJuly 30, 2013I absolutely luv the local farmers produce. Prices are fairly reasonable for organic produce.
M Squared Real EstateAugust 20, 2011The market itself is open every day, but weekends bring an additional influx of vendors ranging from local farmers to antique furniture.
Absolutely love Eaatern Market. Saturday Flea Market & Craft/Art Vendors. Excellent farmer's market!
The best half smokes in dc are NOT at Ben's. They are at the meat stand in Eastern Market. Only one of the stands has ready to eat dogs and smokes so you can't mistake it!
David SetserSeptember 30, 2012Fresh local produce. Worth the browse. Be sure to check the butcher shops inside.
Dominique BarniSeptember 24, 2011Fun jewelry! Be sure to check out the adjacent flea market before you buy, often similar stuff but cheaper.
Travel ChannelNovember 17, 2010Eastern Market is a treasure trove of house wares, vintage clothing and unique collectibles that’s off the tourist radar. – Samantha Brown Read more
cameronOctober 5, 2012Don't forget to get a gingersnap cookie at the bakery on the south end of the market.
Ray VeneroJuly 28, 2013Go to Canales Deli for THE BEST Jamon Iberico, Chorizo, Sopersata. He's a lovely guy to boot!
