HOW on earth is it that I have lived in DC for almost over a year (not all at once) and I have not blogged about Eastern Market? Well, I will accept this no more and I will blog about it now!
Eastern Market is a wonderful wonderful place. It's where foodies and hipsters go to be in heaven. On the weekdays it's a specialty market that has everything you need to outfit your fridge and pantry. From the welcoming scent of the bakery, to the crisp produce mart, exciting deli, unique butcher, fresh seafood and tantalizing cheese shop. On weekends it only gets better. Saturday and Sunday the streets fill will local farmers and artists. You can find almost everything you need to decorate your house, fill your fridge and empty your wallets.
My favorite place in Eastern Market would have to be the Eastern Market Crepe Stand. The crepe stand is there every Saturday and Sunday rain or shine, year round! It's a two man operation. You're always greeted by the friendly face of the owner Mitchell (or as my roommate and I like to call him "Eastern Market crepe guy") who is always manning his three crepe griddles with expertise, and is at the ready to listen for your order. Then he has always assisted by another friendly face who's name I never know. But if we are being honest here, I only learned Mitchell's name a week ago....
They serve a slew of crepes, both savory and sweet. They use insanely fresh ingredients and have some truly creative concoctions. I'm going to let the pictures speak for themselves.

There was also this amazing new stand called Neopol Savory Smokery. To quote my amazing friend Nadi "I just want to smoke everything" and not in awkward illegal way. They served an amazing variety of smoked goods including salmon, salmon salad, shrimp salad, egg salad, cheeses, trout and the list goes on. Nadi and I got the green tea smoked salmon, smoked egg salad and smoked salmon salad. Everything was SO good, to the point where we couldn't really handle how good it was. Nothing was overly fishy or smoked. There was a perfect balance of flavors that made our lunch amazing. Once again I will let the photos speak for themselves.
