Party Earth Review: Housed inside a massive brick building, Eastern Market has been peddling local produce, meats, and cheeses since 1873, and attracts throngs of lifetime District residents and tourists alike who prefer the neighborhood vibe and fresh offerings unmatched by corporate food chains. Shoppers shuffling through the tall and noisy warehouse will find thirteen vendors selling everything from slabs of bacon and fresh fish to premade salads and pasta. Earthy girls stop in at longtime Market residents like Blue Iris for an intricate flower arrangement, while barbecue hounds grab a rack of ribs from Union Meat Company or Canales Delicatessen. On weekends, about a dozen local farmers line up their stalls outside in the plaza, inviting curious foodies to sample fresh produce and jams from neighboring rural counties, while flea market vendors in the corner sell an always unpredictable mishmash of goods, from funky five-for-five-dollars sunglasses to valuable antiques. More than a hundred local artists sell their creations at the flea market as well, beckoning to groups of girlfriends to try on handmade jewelry or join the creative types browsing through original paintings and sculptures. As one of DC’s most historic landmarks, Eastern Market attracts people from all over the world ready to experience a taste of many cultures, view unique perspectives through art and design, and maybe bring home a handmade souvenir with their side of beef.

Eastern Market Review

Tip from Emma:

“Bring cash! Vendors are most likely to knock down the price if you can pay in cash instead of a credit card.”
