The Flea Market at Eastern Market

Eastern Market

The Eastern Market is strategically located at 225 7th Street, Southeast, Washington, DC. It is 7 blocks west of the Capitol, 1 block north of the Eastern Market MetroRail Station and Pennsylvania Avenue in the Capitol Hill neighborhood.

Some 32,500 people live in the area commonly referred to as Capitol Hill - that is, the neighborhoods bounded by North and South Capitol streets on the west, 15th Street on the east, H Street on the north and by the Southeast-Southwest Freeway.

This neighborhood of tree-lined streets of town houses is largely populated by working adults, singles and families with young children.

This is an old-fashioned city neighborhood, where residents often do their shopping on a daily basis, stopping at the neighborhood's bakeries and small grocery stores on their way home from work.

For the residents of Capitol Hill the weekend often means a trip to Eastern Market for fresh fruit and vegetables.

The venue at Eastern Market includes:

* South Hall: local merchants offering everything from fresh produce and flowers, to delicatessen, bakery, meat, poultry, cheese and dairy products. There is also the delicious Market Lunch - renowned for its crab cakes and blueberry pancakes. * North Hall: an arts and community center. * Weekend Farmer's Market: Open-air, fresh local produce year round.
