Union Market is a diamond in the rough in Northeast DC. A variety of artisan food and craft vendors, my favorite being Takorean, serving Korean-style tacos. A great place to spend an afternoon.
Lots of pricey artisan food and drinks. A few times a year they have clothing and furniture vendors in the back. Don't go expecting to find a deal!
So many things to try, eat and buy! Fun place to spend a Saturday morning!
Incredible, artisan cocktails in an intimate space. It’s an upscale setting that requires a bit of decorum—a perfect experience for a special evening for any sort of pair. Rezzies are hard to get. Read more.
Terrific hidden gem. Not many places serving cocktails like this

The Dolci Gelati gelato is local, artisan and incredibly delicious!
I love the salad bar for lunch. Lots of selections
They don't sell Half Foods here.
I have a crush on this store. My go-to for my everyday meals. Good produce, an improved--albeit small--meat selection, artisan bread, awesome nice staff & regular wine tastings. Oh, and quick in-out.
Yes! is an amazing place in the heart of Brookland. Was amazed by the variety and quality.
Honestly, you can get some of the same things cheaper at Whole Foods and Trader Joe's. It's pricey here and not always for higher quality.
Sample their amazing artisanal flavors that get updated seasonally! Mix two flavors when ordering a regular size cup to double your pleasure and double your fun!
Solid ice cream. Try the honey lavender lemon.
Banana bourbon caramel. Honey lemon lavender. Review your flavor selection carefully. The owner left a job at the DHS to become a full-time ice cream entrepreneur in early 2014 Read more.
Great artisan wood fired pizza and antipasti...and a 14 page beer/cider/mead list
Great beer selection and service. Good for gluten free pizza and beer.

Great weekend market full of artisans, food, and antiques. Be sure to ask about the origin of the foods in the farmer's market; not all the vendors use local produce.
Eastern Market, a leafy, Capitol Hill neighborhood radiates from the city’s oldest remaining public market, built in 1873. Read this story by local Gene Weingarten. Read more.
The market operated from 1873 until 2007. At the start of the 20th century the market was recognized as the unofficial "town center" of Capitol Hill. Badly damaged by fire in 2007, it reopened in 2009

You call it a salad, I call it a full meal!
Great macchiato. This is an excellent artisan coffeehouse
Great coffee! Love the black coffee & latte on tap
Finally, I can take a quick break from missing New York.
Love the ambiance here. If you can’t get a resy for the main dining room, ask if you can sit downstairs at the speakeasy. Fav parts of my meal were La Luna, the short ribs tacos, and the enchiladas!
Can’t go wrong with any of the guacamole options. The seafood enchiladas and empanadas were solid too.
The CrabCake Tostada, Grilled Mushroom Tacos, and Wood Grilled chicken were delicious 😋
The duck breast is very impressive. Get it in medium. The cocktail called Strawberry is good too if you like gin.
The burger here is sooo good (comes with fries) and is very shareable. The service here is excellent, much much better than the Top of the Gate.
The Milkshake (consisting of vanilla, chocolate, peanut butter) and the salmon is best done here
Don't miss the hot donuts, the @JonWye pirate chef shirts, or all of the great, local artisans!
Get the homeade doughnuts
