Best Street Markets in Bull Run

"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."

"Why settle for one single morning meal when you could spend a few hours assembling the ultimate culinary tour from breakfast through lunch at this"

"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."

"If shellfish is your thing, you won’t be disappointed with Mussel Bar & Grille. Since beginning life as a Belgian style roadhouse serving ‘Bière, Moules & Frites’, it’s expanded its menu to include good ol’ Southern dishes like Maine Lobster Cocktail, Blue Crab Dip, and Chilled Snow Crab Cluster. The classics haven’t gone though, and it’s still one of the best places in town to grab a cold beer and enjoy some seriously good mollusks."

"For great value seafood served with a Mediterranean flair, you’ll find few better places than Mele. The unpretentious menu is simple, authentic, and full of fresh, local ingredients. The service is just as good as the food, while the warm, inviting atmosphere makes it the perfect place to unwind with friends."

"Patches of painted and exposed brick contrast with the raw, natural polished wood of the bar and white linen tables."

"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."

"Menomale Neapolitan pizzeria will spoil you for all other pizzas. This small, understated place in the Brookland neighborhood of DC makes pizzas the way they should be made according to the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana in Naples, Italy. The rules are very strict, and Menomale owners Ettore and Maria Rusciano had to study to be certified as real pizza makers, or pizzaioli in Italian."

"Grab a few slices of cheese pizza at Wiseguy’s and call it a meal—and an affordable one, at that, with $3 slices. Though DC has mostly been known for its Neapolitan pizzerias, Wiseguy serves up an excellent rendition of the New York-style pie out of a stone-deck oven. They’ve also got a mean Grandma square pie."

"New York City may be a train ride away, but if you’re craving a thin New York slice without traveling you’re in luck!. Wiseguy Pizza has what you are looking for. This pizzeria opened its doors in 2012, and they have since been creating classic and specialty pizzas."

"For when nothing but a big, two-handed slice of New York-style pizza will do. Though this pizzeria also serves some pretty impressive garlic knots. View this post on Instagram"
