Barracks Row & Eastern Market

Barracks Row, a small neighborhood to the southeast of Capitol Hill, has a history as old as the city itself. It was the first commercial area in the District and was built around the Marine Barracks, which it was named after. Within just the past few years there has been a significant restoration movement in Barracks Row, drawing the presence of entrepreneurs, artisans, and small businesses.

This gem of a used bookstore is a cozy and quirky neighborhood favorite. The narrow, two-story space is brimming with used and rare books on all topics, which are stacked high and spilling out of every nook and cranny. The staff is knowledgable, and the witty handwritten notes throughout make for a hilarious browsing experience. You could spend hours in here enjoying the quiet mood, skimming through art books or checking out their extensive mystery, non-fiction and politics sections.
