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
- Artisanal bread
- Local, regional and international cheeses
- Homemade turkey jerky
- Salvadorian 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!
