You can walk there, but it might take 30 minutes. (I usually drive.). This is a nice food hall with fast casual restaurants. You order your food and take it outside to eat at picnic tables. Bidwell is a real, sit-down restaurant inside that has nice food, too. There are a few local shops with speciality items inside, too. You can google the area, as there are many more restaurants outside the market to choose from.

This is the first company offering bike sharing in DC. The nearest location is a 3-5 minute walk from the apartment.
There are now other companies that offer scooters (electric/use your free foot/not Vespas!) and bikes to pick up where ever and drop off as you wish. I haven't used these companies. So, you might need to google.com them.
