This market is a jewel of the neighborhood. A five minute walk from the house around Galludet University. You'll find a number of fast casual restaurants, bars, and coffee shops here for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It gets crowded on the weekends, so go early.

Pretty decent BBQ. I'm a fan of the brisket and I always get the smoked whitefish appetizer. They also have a rooftop deck with lounge chairs. Ivy City is a newly developing area of DC. Be mindful of your surroundings at night.

Fast casual pizza spot. Load up your pizza with a ton of different sauces, toppings, and extras and you're out the door fast. Pizzas are a flat price around $10/each.

Belgian style restaurant and bar. If you've got a hankering for mussels - this is the place to go. Can be quite popular, so either make an opentable reservation a few hours in advance or put your name in and grab a drink somewhere along h street while you wait.

Local market and not fancy at all. However, it is the closest spot to buy beer (decent import and microbrew selection), wine, or hard alcohol. Don't forget to grab a lotto ticket.
