Definitely worthy of a visit. Originally named Union Terminal Market, vendors gathered at this location to sell fresh produce, meats and dairy items. In the 1960’s the government banned the outdoor sell of meats and eggs, essentially killing the farmers market foot traffic. Later, the indoor market was constructed into what we now know as Union Market. Union Market brings together local artisans and restaurants in one warehouse style building. You can grab anything from a coffee to a Korean taco and then visit the vendors for some DC goodies.

Parks & Nature

A quick walk South- This is a fun place for kids or pups to play, or a nice place to read a book outdoors on a sunny day. You wouldn’t know it, but Lincoln Park was initially used as a dump. During the Civil War, it was the site of Lincoln Hospital and was among the places visited by Walt Whitman, who was visiting injured soldiers. In 1867, Congress authorized the grounds to be called Lincoln Square (now Lincoln Park). As a memorial to the former President it was the first public site to bear his name.
