From a press release:
“September 27th marks the grand opening of the Marion Barry Avenue Market and cafe in Anacostia (1303 Marion Barry Ave, SE), bringing fresh produce, groceries and a fast casual cafe to the historic Ward 8. The new market is designed as a community hub to provide much needed, convenient access to healthy foods, a demo kitchen for nutrition education and cooking classes, with indoor and outdoor seating to celebrate the rich culture of the neighborhood.
Marion Barry Avenue Market and Cafe is an initiative of Dreaming Out Loud, the non-profit dedicated to rebuilding urban community-based food systems, and supported by investments from both public and private partners, including the Longer Tables Fund, founded by Chef José Andrés, and Mayor Muriel Bowser through the Office of the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development’s (DMPED) Food Access Fund.
