For the last year I have had people telling me about this Union Market north of Florida Ave and driving by the area I saw the old Union Market building and thought these people giving the recommendation to visit must be delusional or an urban pioneer… But finally a coworker set me straight and told m how to find the actual new-ish Union Market which just happens to be set a block back from the area I could see at New York Ave and Florida Ave.
One nice fall Saturday morning I just had to go check this place out. I pulled into the massive parking lot and I was already impressed.
Inside was even more surprising. Everything is modern warehouse like. The restaurants and eateries are of a high tier and everything is clean. It is a different experience from what you would have at Philly’s Reading Terminal or even our beloved Eastern Market.
When you walk in the middle door, a sandwich board shows you what the latest round up of vendors that are populating the market. The vendors vary from Red Apron Butcher to Peregrine coffee.
Union Market also has events such as drive-in movies and farmers markets. Check out their website for the latest and greatest.
There is a lot of change to come to this area and Union Market DC is just the beginning of it!
