Outside of my neighborhood, this is a fun little informal venue to choose when no one can decide what they want. Lot’s of great food vendors and more and more fun retail in the area.

The tacos are solid, but the small plates, entrées, and drinks are the reason to go here. It’s an excellent meal every time.

On Saturday and Sunday the outdoor flea market has lots of great art and vendors selling their wares, and there's a pottery studio in the basement of the market where I actually throw (entrance is down stone stairs on the South end of the building.. the C street side). During the week (Tues-Fri) it's just the grocery/food vendors inside of the market. (see separate listing for market lunch)
