Eastern Market main is open 9:00am-5:00pm Tues-Friday and Sat-Sun there is an excellent street market with a great food section. Highly recommend grabbing breakfast (blueberry buckwheat pancakes) from the restaurant inside Eastern Market. Taste some of the best homemade Philippine food at the outdoor food fair during the weekend.

Love their full stacked bagels. Try the reuben and whitefish. Small place though, so I'd take it to go and sit somewhere else to eat. We usually bring it home since we're so close.
