Corridors

 

Eastern Market ~ 7th Street SE

The Eastern Market corridor features numerous locally-owned cafes, restaurants and boutiques.  The area gets its name from the historic Eastern Market that anchors this portion of 7th Street SE on Capitol Hill. 

The market itself is a long, brick structure filled with a variety of vendors.  Cheese, meats, poultry, vegetables, baked goods, flowers... just a few of the groceries and goodies offered up at the separate stands that line the market's main promenade. 

On weekends, the sidewalks outside the Market bustle with a farmers market, flea market, and more vendors offering everything from crepes to candy apples from their tents and carts.

Access:  Eastern Market metro station (orange & blue lines)
