Experience Details

In the heart of the historic Capitol Hill neighborhood, Eastern Market is DC’s destination for fresh food, community events, and local farm-fresh produce (and handmade arts & crafts on weekends). On this tour, you will enjoy 5 food stops plus a dessert with a local foodie.


Eastern Market is one of the oldest continuously operating public markets in DC. It lets you explore an array of stalls selling everything from fresh produce and meat to handmade crafts and baked goods. We weave history into our culinary journey.


Try a Mid-Atlantic staple while you learn about the original taverns of DC. You will then visit a veteran-focused pub to sample a bar favorite while learning about the oldest Marine Corps post in the US. Experience the delightful taste of pupusas, a traditional Salvadoran dish that will leave your taste buds singing.


Enjoy a nostalgic treat with a gourmet twist and dive into a world of flavors with cheese samples from Bower's Cheese inside the bustling Eastern Market.
