From the inside marketplace to the vendors outside...

From the inside marketplace to the vendors outside, Eastern Market is a place that has something for everyone.

The marketplace has a wide variety of meats, cheeses, seafood, baked goods/breads, prepared foods, and also houses a small restaurant - Market Lunch (which ironically makes a great breakfast). Just outside, local farmers/vendors sell fresh and delicious fruits, vegetables, and herbs. Oh, and don't forget to check out the mini-donuts outside, on the North side of the market, as well as grab freshly-squeezed lemonade (I do this every time I go; it's basically a tradition of mine). Check out Big Poppa for some delicious kettle-cooked popcorn!

There are also a bunch of vendors that sell their crafts, mainly to the East of the market, in a nearby parking lot. You can find art, furniture, jewelry, clothes, antiques, soaps, and a whole lot more from all the vendors here on the weekend. All the vendors I've engaged with have been extremely nice, and you can tell that most of them take pride in the items they sell. It's a great place to go look for art/photos/maps to hang up in your home.

It's a shame that I don't live closer, as I'd love to come every weekend!
