Eastern Market is the place to go when you want to have a real American snack in an European-style indoor market. They have counters selling bagels, pastries, and cheese while the small Market Lunch counter in the corner sells hamburgers, sea-food and other greasy but good dishes. On weekends, there's a flea market outside the building where you can find paintings, photographs, posters, and furniture among other things. The market is located on Capitol Hill, where Congress interns and staffers live in shared townhouses. Capitol Hill is one of the cosiest and most laid-back neighbourhoods in DC and as it is becoming safer (between the Congress and Lincoln Park), it's worth visiting.
Pros: Nice and relaxed
Cons: Greasy food, small flea market
Details: 7th and Independence (Eastern Market metro)
