Guidebook for Washington
Food Scene
This is a collection of local vendors and restaurants that have set up an indoor market in the old warehouse district of DC. Here you will find everything from a cheese specialty shop to one of the most popular oyster bars in town (seriously its hard to find a seat usually). This place gets packed on the weekends and often has events going on where it gets really busy, but it is open every day except Monday. This is a great place to grab a casual bite to eat, grab some gourmet groceries or an interesting bottle of wine. If you are someone that likes to cook this should be a must see on your visit to DC.
