Upon arriving I quickly hurried through the crowds at the farmers' market. I ran straight into the indoor market to get my beloved pancakes (note: on Saturdays you need to be in line by 12:30pm to get them.)
I was happy I made it just as they were closing the breakfast line. I stood in line for Z & I since he was running late (naturally!)
When Z arrived we ordered our pancakes & I was a happy camper. So happy in fact I didn't even get a picture of these delicious little cakes... I know, right? I am sorry! I guess that gives you more reason to go. Take me with you!
After pancakes I naturally had to stop at the pickle booth. I am never in Eastern Market so when I am I get all my favorite things. The pickle booth is no exception! I highly recommend it.
I think it's worth mentioning they give you three pickles! Now tell me that's not a bang for your buck, exactly.
Now I was ready to check out the rest of the festival!
I was excited to learn about ScratchDC. It's similar to cooking programs like Blue Apron but all of the recipes are locally sourced. They package the meals, chop the ingredients & deliver them to your door that day. I am dying to try it! What a great idea, anything local I am all about.
I also spotted the DC Flower Truck, I have no idea how I didn't know about this before! It's like a food truck but for flowers. You can buy them pre-arranged in cute vases or in a bundle of flowers. I will be following along on Twitter to get some the next time it's near me. I fell in LOVE!
^ I will take all of them please!
After leaving the Flower Truck we stumbled upon District Doughnuts. This place has been on my list since it opened! I obviously had to stop in.
Unfortunately they were out of a lot of flavors by the time I got to them. So I ordered the Brown Butter flavor. It made up for the lack of options! I will be coming back...
I took my donut for the road & watched the aerialist outside.
We came, we saw, we ate & we had a great time. Eastern Market I love you!
What did you do this weekend?
