Is there somebody hosting the market tour? Is there further info or is it just a show up kinda thing?

I was just telling my coworkers, who are new to town, about the market and Litteri's. I think they would love this.

Richard Layman is leading that tour. I'll be helping (particularly if we need to split into more than one group.

I'm leading the NoMa tour, which is fun -- and I agree that Richard Layman does a great job with the Florida Market tour; it's really a wonderful experience, and eye-opening even to long-time DC residents. Check it out!
