Eastern Market: Old Fashioned Food Market

by TexasDave

Designed by Aldolph Cluss and built in 1873 at a time when post-civil War Washington was being enlarged by leaps and bounds, this was one of three food markets built in the city and the only one to survive. In 2007 the building suffered a fire and had to be closed and renovated. It reopened in June, 2009 and now houses over a dozen businesses which sell meats, cheeses, fresh baked goods, flowers, etc.Particularly on weekends stalls are set up all around the original building and the area becomes a green grocers/flea/handicraft market.

Eastern Market -- June 2009 reopening!

by Ewingjr98

The Eastern Market should not be confused with an Eastern market that sells Asian items. No, this Eastern Market is named after its location in the city, not the source of its goods! Eastern Market has been in continuous operation since 1873, and the building is a national historic landmark. The structure was heavily damaged by fire, and after a long-term rehabilitative effort, it reopened in June 2009!Here you will find breads, meats, cheeses, produce, fish, and even a small, but busy restaurant called the Market Lunch. Because the main market building burned in 2007, the market has a temporary layout. In front of the historic market building is an open air farmers' market under a green canopy, and it features fruits and vegetables. Around the canopy and just to the north are numerous artists selling a little of everything, mostly arts and crafts. Across the street from the old market...

South Moon Under: Shopping in National Harbor

by GracesTrips

National Harbor is located in Maryland but minutes away from DC. It's actually a new development across the Potomac River and it's beautiful. The Gaylord Resort & Convention Center along with a few other hotels are there. There's retail stores and nice restaurants in the area, too. I really enjoyed this particular store, South Moon Under, because they had unique, good quality women's clothing at a reasonable price (not cheap though). They also have online shopping if you want to check it out.

Maine Avenue Fish Market

by Ewingjr98

The Maine Avenue Fish Market is considered one of the last real (non-touristy) vibrant areas of Washington, DC. Here on floating barges several feet below street level, you will find an amazing array of fresh, steamed, or even live seafood, particularly crabs. There are about 10 vendors and maybe two or three eateries. The shops are a little run down and they sit under the shadow of the I-395 bridge and next to a yacht club and new high-rise, high rent condos.Parking is limited. From the Washington Monument, walk south toward the Jefferson Monument until you hit Maine Ave. Follow Maine under the Hwy 1 bridge, the railroad bridge, and the I-395 bridge.

Safeway Grocery Store on Columbia Road, NW: Worst Supermarket in America

by Greatwalk0

The Safeway Grocery Store on Columbia Road (NW) in Adams Morgan harkens back to the Soviet Union in terms of customer service, selection, and quality of goods. Being the only supermarket in the immediate area (though a Giant Foods opened in nieghboring Columbia Heights recently), they get away with having aweful/unfriendly staff, unstocked shelves, and next to zero selection. I strongly reccomend going elsewhere for anything but the bare neccessities. This place is terrible! Nothing, if you can help it. Too much

Heller's Bakery: Great Bakery!

by Greatwalk0

Heller's Bakery is a gem in Mount Pleasant! A traditional bakery that makes everything from bagels to elaborate cakes -- this is a great place to buy your baked goods. The interior also has a few small tables for those who can't wait until they get home to start eating! Great food! Great atmosphere! Home-made bagels are excellent! Also, their ham and cheese cousants are very good in the morning! Various reasonable prices

Flea Market at Eastern Market

by dln6874

On Sundays, vendors come to Eastern Market offering a variety of goods from fresh fruits and veggies, to items from Asia, to local crafts such as photos & tshirts. There was even furniture on sale. I'm not big into flea markets, but if you are, this might be a good one to check out. I wouldn't say anything is dirt cheap. You would actually pay more here, naturally, for items you can buy overseas as tourists.

Bureau of Engraving and Printing: The Money Factory!

by jamiesno

Welcome to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. You may want to stop here on your way to go shopping!They are the largest producer of security documents in the United States. The BEP prints billions of Federal Reserve Notes for delivery to the Federal Reserve System each year (the BEP does not produce coins – all coinage is minted by the United States Mint). These notes are produced at facilities in Washington, DC, and Fort Worth, Texas. In addition to U.S. currency, the BEP produces several other security documents such as portions of U.S. passports, materials for Homeland Security, military identification cards, and Immigration and Naturalization Certificates. All jokes aside you can do a tour if your interested in seeing where the money is printed!You'll see millions of dollars being printed during a tour of the BEP. The tour features the various steps of currency production,...
