The tour pairs the historical significance of the market with visits to shops selling produce, food and other hard to find goods. The tour ends at A. Litteri's, the oldest continuously operating Italian deli in the city serving some of the best Italian sub sandwiches you'll find anywhere!!!

Led by urban revitalization advocates, this tour is a partnership with Capitol Hill North Neighborhood Association, Trinidad Neighborhood Association, Frozen Tropics weblog, and Rebuilding Place in Urban Space weblog. Be prepared for cash only purchases and the spirit of the city's largest wholesale market.

Make our neighborhood safer. CHNNA is organizing a Neighborhood Watch Program and has invited the Metropolitan Police Department to the March 19 CHHNA general meeting to discuss how the program works, the benefits to the community, and how you can get involved. With a little effort, we can be rewarded with a safer, cleaner, better prepared, and more secure neighborhood in which to live.
