Eastern Market

The Eastern Market reopened today in South East DC. Although it took a little bit longer to find it, because we drove, instead of taking the metro conveniently located right in the center of the market. Once you get there though there are a lot of tables set up to shop and look around.

Markets are a window shopper's dream. Scarves imported from India, dresses and bags hand made and designed by local designers. Then there's the food. At least a dozen tables were set up with fresh produce; watermelons, strawberries, blueberries, peaches and so much corn. And that's just outside. Inside the building are rows and rows of meats, cheeses and pastas to buy all leading up to the greatest items you could ever find in a market. Ice cream and candy.

Now that the market is open again it is open every weekend, and there are always new people coming to the market to sell there products. It really is an event that never gets old.

Don't live in the DC area? Check around your town for Farmers Markets and other outdoor markets. In the summer Farmers markets usually happen once a week in every city all over the country. Probably wouldn't be quite as big of a deal as DC but its always fun time.
