H Street Festival 2012

The H Street Festival, which has quickly emerged as one of the fall’s coolest, most eclectic neighborhood festivals, returned Saturday, and nearly every popular business on H Street NE (and a few that haven’t even opened yet) took part in the street side food and drink stands, performances and eating contests. It was a gorgeous day and I set out early to capture all the various eating options that the festival had to offer.  From restaurants to vendors to free samples, check out my photo recap below.
