After weaving through the masses of people at Eastern Market while fondling jewelry, candles, and fantastic tie-dyed dresses (only $10!), I was in dire need of a sustenance break. I took my place at the end of a long line at The Market Lunch to sample what I had heard was the best crab cake sandwich in DC. Hey, for only $7, I figured it was worth a try. The Market Lunch is housed in a warehouse along with meat, cheese, dessert, and flower vendors. I wish I could say it's a nice reprieve from the heat, but the only cooling comforts are a few standing fans. Having survived most of a summer in DC, however, I've learned that you can't let the heat dissuade you -- especially not when you could be missing out on something as cheap and delicious as The Market Lunch. Just know what you want when you get to the cashier and have your receipt handy, or you could be greeted by a Soup-Naziesque stare. Trust me, it's an experience not to be missed. I'm going back next Saturday to try another specialty, their blueberry pancakes.
