There was a crisp bite to the air while the warm bite of a
tangy pulled pork sandwich filled my stomach. The brassy notes of the trumpet echoed against the large
paned windows as people shuffled between the fruit and meat stands. Sitting Indian style on the ground, I
enjoyed my juicy sandwich and the local jazz band that was entertaining the
bustling crowd.
A flea market, farmers market, and town square hybrid,
Eastern Market is the place to be on an early weekend morning: especially if
you’re a young urban professional with a kid, a dog, or a Prius. We had decided to have a group dinner
later that night, so we used the shopping trip to gather all the necessary
fixings for a Mexican fiesta. From
the hand-kneaded corn tortillas to fresh local veggies, we definitely picked a
good place to shop. The Eastern
Market also offered rousing live music, a crowded but pleasant atmosphere, and
delicious barbeque pork sandwiches.
Overall, it ended up that our Eastern Market trip, like our Mexican fiesta,
was muy bien.
