This walking food tour takes you to the Eastern Market - Eastern Market is the oldest continuously running food market in the Washington, DC area, still serving its original function as a public market. Eastern Market has been the center of life within Capitol Hill for over 200 years.

Part of a city-wide public market system, Eastern Market was built in order to provide a convenient supply of goods to Capitol Hill residents. It acted as an anchor to the Capitol Hill neighborhood. Additionally, Eastern Market was a symbol of urbanization. Its presence helped to both retain and attract neighborhood residents.

Tour participants should understand that Eastern Market is much smaller than traditional public markets. Do not expect a large public market such as Redding Terminal or Pike Place. Regardless, Eastern Market remains a culinary gem in Washington DC filled with history, character, and delicious food.

Expect to stand up throughout the duration of the tour. Unlike the standard Food Tours, the Eastern Market does not have any sit down restaurants. All dishes served are included in the tour. Enough food is served that for most participants, dinner afterwards will not be needed.
