SUGAR RUSH

LOOK AT THESE CANNOLIS

Never been to the Eastern Market? You need to go. Immediately. Run. (Except not right now because it's closed.) Many of the vendors sell amazing food, BUT(!!) at the very south end of the building lies a bakery that sells delicious treats for relatively cheap. It's called the FINE SWEET SHOPPE, and it's pretty much great. Georgetown may brag about their cupcake game, but this place sells huge frickin' pieces of sweet potato cake for $2.50! Compare THAT with Starbuck's billion-dollar pumpkin bread (OK, it's actually like $3, but still)!!

Among all of the other stupendous choices, they also cater to cannoli lovers with their large cannolis (pictures above, captioned "LOOK AT THESE CANNOLIS") for $2.99 each. Sounds expensive? It's not. It's a frickin' cannoli, and it's frickin' delicious. Just don't eat it in oppressive summer heat like I did and get nauseous. It's ill-advised.

So if you have a hankerin' for some sugary salvation, go to the Fine Sweet Shoppe at Eastern Market!
