I checked out the NVA Thai Food and Culture Market this past weekend—and I have to say, it’s an absolute must-visit in the DMV area. The event I attended was a special market held at One Loudoun, but the market is typically hosted twice a month from March through December: once in Manassas and once in Annandale. The food was phenomenal—absolutely delicious and very affordable, with most items priced under $15. In addition to the amazing food, there were plenty of non-food vendors, including local artisans, plant sellers, and stalls offering traditional Thai trinkets. The market also featured live performances and cultural activities, offering a great opportunity to learn more about Thai heritage. I highly recommend making the trip to one of these markets this summer!
