A Healthier Option: Foggy Bottom Farmer’s Market

Looking to be a healthier eater in Washington, DC?

The Foggy Bottom Market is conveniently located by the Foggy Bottom Metro Station. Open from 2 – 7 pm, don’t forget to visit the market on your way home from work or from class.

Foggy Bottom farmers bring their prized premium pickings of field fruits, fresh vegetables, organic and grass-fed meat, gourmet bread and handmade cheeses, flowers, dips, organic apple cider, and even freshly made Taiwanese pulled-pork buns to tickle your taste buds.

Shh… The market is seasonal and only opens on Wednesdays, April to November! Click here for more information.

Best Spot to Grab a Bite

The Reading Terminal Market has been one of the most popular Philadelphia spots since 1892. It has not lost a bit of its popularity since its opening and is still very much a market, selling produce, meats, traditional Amish Foods, fresh hand baked pretzels, Bassett’s world famous Ice cream, and more.

As one of the city’s first and foremost food courts, there’s plenty of options for food and drink, but after taking a walk around the market you must get a DiNic’s pulled pork sandwich, which gives even the famous Cheesesteak a run for its money. Take your sandwich on over to the Beer Garden and wash it down with a local brew, while you sit back and relax in this beautiful spot for a true Philadelphian experience.

W Hotel is Wicked Cool

Looking for the newest, coolest and hippest place to stay in Boston? The W Hotel has it all covered. From high tech modern amenities to a lively lobby “living room” that resembles a disco after dark, the W is already making a name for itself in the city.

The all glass hotel, located smack dab in the Theater District directly across the street from the Citi Performing Arts Center, opened in November with 123 private residences if you can’t resist the urge to ever leave. The rooms here are spacious and modern with floor to ceiling windows, flat screen TVs and a docking station for MP3 players.

The underground bar, Descent, is popular with a younger crowd, while an older crowd flocks to W Lounge where you can also play a board game or check your email with the free high speed Internet access.

Be sure to book a reservation early at the popular casual restaurant, Market, as there are often long waits. If you’re looking to work off the calories you put on last night, head over to the on-site fitness center Sweat, or relax with a massage at Bliss, New York’s hottest spa, which finally made its Boston debut.
