Lonely Planet review

On weekends, this market overflows with craftspeople, food vendors and a flea market. Washingtonians have been flocking here for decades in search of free-trade crafts, attic antiques, fresh flowers and seafood. Built in 1873, it is the last of the 19th-century covered markets that once supplied most of DC's food. South Hall has food stands, bakeries, flower stands and delis. North Hall has craftspeople selling handmade wares.

It's an ethnic smorgasbord and the heart of the Capitol Hill community.
