From an email:

The Ulysses Room Night Market will bring together our favorite local designers and boutiques for a night shopping event (inspired by the popular Brooklyn Night Bazaar). We also invited Cream Cycle – whose hand-made gourmet ice-cream sandwiches will be available for the first time to the public and will include: Mexican Jalapeño Chocolate (chocolate cookie, jalapeno ice cream, fresh banana), Cereal Milk (cereal milk ice cream, vanilla cookie, granola), and Ginger Spice (ginger bread cookie, vanilla ice cream, fresh nutmeg and ginger)

This event will bring together some of our favorite independent designers, shops, and food purveyors in DC for a festive evening of shopping, food, and merriment under the ivy-ringed skylight of Ulysses Room.

Full list of vendors after the jump. (more…)
