Nice food hall/knick-knack market with plenty of food stalls for dine-in, take out and groceries, restaurants with counter space to sit and dine. A wide array of food, however, sadly - food from the Caribbean nor countries from Africa are not represented. I saw multiple, several Asian stalls, Italian/pizza, Turkish, Latin Empenadas, Mexican-Korean fusion tacos, seafood, ramen, tea, coffee, pastries, burgers. No Caribbean, Cuban, Dominican, no Ethopian,Eritrean, nor West African foods.
Do not go at lunch time on a weekend, there's limited parking and limited places to sit. It gets very crowded. Overwhelmingly crowded.
I've been here several times over the years and I'm still not certain how I feel. The place can get so crowded, that it can become difficult to have a good experience. If you are with one other person on a busy/peak time, you can maneuver and find a place to sit. However, if you are dining during peak times with a group of people, come later to avoid the peak dining hours.
Bottom line, it's ok, however my opinion is completely biased because I am comparing it to Reading Terminal Market in Philly because that's where it's at! This is no Reading Terminal, but it's as close as DC is going to get.
