Best Street Markets in Bethesda

"While not quite a restaurant, Union Market features too many vegan-friendly pop-ups to overlook. Whether you're craving tacos, pasta, ice cream, or a smoothie bowl, there's a plant-based version available at this trendy indoor farmer's market. So, yeah, that stereotype that all vegans are deprived and only eat kale definitely doesn't work in Washington."

"One of the city’s most noteworthy spots, the market is filled with artisan eateries. The famous Heart Wall is the perfect place to confess your love for one another. The Heart Wall is a mural created for International Women’s Day in 2015 by Los Angeles-based graffiti artist Mr. Brainwash."

"From oozing grilled cheeses to warm pockets of bao and gooey bread pudding, it’s impossible to leave this local marketplace in a serious food coma. If you’re in DC, make sure to head over to Union Market for the famous Korean inspired tacos or Red Apron’s stand for anything chorizo."

"This historic hub for fresh seafood (both cooked and raw) is changing due to the construction at the neighboring Wharf development, but vendors such as Jessie Taylor Seafood, the Virgo Fish House, and Captain White’s Seafood City continue bringing the best of the sea to D.C. Find blue crabs, scallops, catch of the day deals, and terrific fried chicken at the various stalls."

"The Maine Avenue Fish Market on Washington DC's Southwest Waterfront is the oldest continually operating outdoor fish market in the United States."

"Eat Lunch at Eastern Market or Barracks Row Walk east to Eastern Market, which is especially lively on weekends as part of the street is shut down for vendors to sell crafts and food. Enjoy some fast casual food or walk a few blocks farther to 8th Street SE (Barracks Row) where you will find a wide range of great restaurants. After lunch, take the metro to the Smithsonian Metro Station to visit the National Mall."

"Regular travelers to Las Vegas, Tim and Laina, found that something was missing among the bright lights and lively streets: a good place to get crawfish. They decided they would be the ones to fill this need, and so Hot N’ Juicy Crawfish was established. It’s grown into an empire over the years, with more than ten locations, including one in the nations’ capital, for hot n’ spicy enthusiasts everywhere."

"Small, vibrant, and almost always bustling, Hot N Juicy Crawfish may not be the place to take your grandmother for a quiet night of elegant dining, but for succulent, spicy, great value seafood, it’s hard to beat. You may have to queue for a table, but once you get stuck into some “Hot N Juicy” creole inspired seafood, you’ll be glad you waited."
