Likewise , Eastern Market ( coming soon to Reagan ), established in 1873 as a town center , is today the hipster heartbeat of Capitol Hill . A bustling hub of activity , filled with vendors selling meats , poultry , seafood , baked goods , flowers , handcrafted goods , and artisanal cheeses throughout the week , the venue evinces a particularly rousing air on weekends when the streets and plazas surrounding it teem with all manner of vendors ranging from farmers and food trucks to local artists and jewelry designers from across the region .

At its heart , historic Capitol Hill is more than just a neighborhood ; it ’ s a living testament to America ’ s past , present , and future . Steeped in history but firmly moored in the present , it is a place where , even though every brick holds a story , every corner whispers secrets , and every sip connects you to the past , the lively drumbeat of modernity thunders on in perfect time with the tune of all that has come before it .
