Capitol Hill and Washington, D.C.
Sightseeing
The historic Eastern Market is the oldest continually operating food market in the city. Completed in 1873, the historic brick exterior is a jewel in the neighborhood and the center of activity. On Saturday and Sundays throughout the year, 7th Street, in front of the market, is closed off for a farmer's and artisan market. Inside, you'll find a dozen various food vendors. We are a big fan of the rotisserie chickens from the vendor on the south end - we get them every week!

Completed in 1908 and designed by Daniel Burnham, this is a quintessential neoclassical building with views to the Capitol. The Great Hall has beautiful barrel vaults with gilded medallions and is a great place to people watch. You can catch Amtrak or the Metro here, but also there are a ton of restaurants, an extensive food court, and many stores to shop for apparel, skincare, etc.

The largest of the Capitol Hill parks, this is the gathering place of the neighborhood. Great for people watching, you will catch locals picnicking on blankets, people reading on benches, dogs galore, and kids running around the playground. There is always something going on!

They have tons of different trees, plants, and flowers to admire, as well as a crazy collection of bonsai. This is a wonderful place to see the cherry blossoms if you don't want to deal with the crowds around the Tidal Basin.

Best ramen in the city in a funky upstairs space. People waited for hours to slurp up soup for years after this spot opened. Wait times are a little more reasonable now, but the ramen is still just as delicious.

La Casina is a great neighborhood restaurant for "pinsa" which is a type of pizza with unique combinations. Their other outpost is in Rome (the owners are Italian), so you know this place is authentic. We also particularly enjoy the Aperol spritz on tap.
