Key Info>
The Eastern Market Food Tour will give you an insider's look at the legendary market while tasting delicious local specialties!
As part of a city-wide public market system, Eastern Market has acted as an anchor to the Capitol Hill neighborhood helping to both retain and attract neighborhood residents. Eastern Market is also a symbol of urbanization as Washington DC worked to remove the southern town image it had since the founding of the Federal city.
Meet long standing vendors to taste their specialties which include a variety of local products produced and grown within the Washington DC area. Tastings on this tour may include (and are subject to change):
- Homemade kimchi and bulgogi
- Locally grown fruits
- Artisan breads
- Local, regional and international cheeses
- Homemade turkey jerky
- Empanadas
- DC's original half-smoke
- Hand-rolled and stuffed grape leaves
- Eastern European desserts
Explore Eastern Market to understand it's significance within Capitol Hill as well as Washington DC!
