What people say

Jennifer Magana
"DC’s oldest public market, has been a cornerstone of Capitol Hill since 1873. This historic landmark designed in the Italianate style by Adolf Cluss, is a striking red-brick building with towering arched windows and intricate detailing. Cluss is the same architect behind the Smithsonian Arts and Industries Building. On weekends, Eastern Market comes alive with the open-air flea market. After a devastating fire in 2007, the community rallied to restore this historic space. "
"Eastern Market is (in my opinion) DC's best market! I recommend going on Saturday and Sunday when the market is at its best. There are two parts to the market - indoor and outdoor. The indoor portion is open everyday of the week. It is composed of deli and other food counters. The outdoor portion is only open on the weekend and closes mid-afternoon. It is a mixture of a farmers market and a flea market vibe. "
