For a historical taste of Washington DC, take a little trip to the Eastern Market. Originally opened in 1873, this is one of the few lasting historical markets in the DC area. Every day except Monday, locals and travelers can come purchase the freshest of ingredients for exceptionally affordable prices. Be prepared to want to buy everything, as they have an amazing selection of food such as seafood, meat, bakery items, cheese, and more. You can even buy flowers for someone special or eat at the on-site diner. The market is conveniently located on 7th and C Sts. right across from the Eastern Market Metro Station. It doesn't get any easier, or tastier, than this!
