East City Bookshop opened in 2016 to fill a literary void on the eastern side of Capitol Hill, and it quickly became an indispensable part of the Barracks Row community. The airy, light-filled space features hand-selected titles across fiction, nonfiction, and a wonderful children's section that draws families from across the neighborhood. The store's commitment to diverse voices and inclusive programming has made it a model for modern independent bookselling. Regular appearances by DC-based journalists, policy experts, and novelists make the events calendar a must-follow for the politically engaged DC reader.
