Vineet ShahJuly 31, 2014Union Market is a diamond in the rough in Northeast DC. A variety of artisan food and craft vendors, my favorite being Takorean, serving Korean-style tacos. A great place to spend an afternoon.
I love me some Union Market. It's around the block from my house which is uberly convenient. I love the ice cream shop. The best ice cream around. The Korean Taco shop is awesome as well.
Loren WorsleyJanuary 25, 2016TaKorean and DC Dosa are solid. For sure grab a sweet nibble from CoCo Sala and a container of chickpea chorizo salad from the charcuterie/sandwich spot in the back left corner of the market.
Jonathan LSeptember 4, 2017It's far from central DC, but has ample free parking. There isn't a ton of seating if you visit one of the smaller stalls versus one of the bigger "restaurants". Great place to hang out and chill.
Danielle DaSilvaJuly 13, 2018Amazing selection of food, drinks, gifts, and so much more. Week days are much more quiet than weekends. There is something for everyone! Don't forget to post your 'so cute' pictures to instagram.
Steff EiterSeptember 8, 2013The fresh pressed Kale juice at Goshen is fantastic!!! One of the nicest juices i have had in a long while!
Bianca Navarro BowmanDecember 8, 2015Empanadas, arepas, dosa, ice cream, Korean tacos -- thats just what I was able to try. Wonderful farm to table recipes and a great location for either a date or to bring your friends. 💛💛💛
Mackenzie FultonFebruary 9, 2013Go hungry! So much great food and drink to try in this place! Plus there is lots of parking, so don't be scared away by what appears to be big crowds on the surrounding streets.
Robinson CookAugust 14, 2016Literally everything. The best brisket in the city. Amazing Korean tacos, and great seafood.
Emma McTagueDecember 9, 2016Always tons of events going on. Any food here is awesome and delicious. Great place to just walk around but it can get packed when it's nice out.
Morgan StahlJuly 8, 2017Super unique and quite a good time looking at all the various food vendors and stores. Ended up buying some plants amd enjoy an acai bowl.
Lindsey KimDecember 30, 2014Amazing selection of food! Try the bbq stand (brisket + sweet potatoes) and the smoked fish counter (whitefish salad with Asian pears)!
Alex MorozovSeptember 5, 2014HVig some delish oysters, white wine, and decidig what to follow up with. Some gravlox, more wine... you know, the "youjh". A good way to unwind after an awesome vip tour of the Capitol Building!
B. Supreme-HurtadoJanuary 10, 2015Everything was delicious. Ate at the locally grown and sustained Bidwell Restaurant (select veggies grown on the roof) and bought some items from a black owned raw vegan vendor, Goshen
The Ritz-CarltonMarch 25, 2016Union Market, a year-round communal market, provides fresh produce, freshly squeeze juices and smoothies, and freshly prepared cultural delights to locals and tourists in the Washington DC area.
- It's hard to go wrong with any of the constantly changing options here. DC Empanadas, Red Apron, Mason Dixie, Maketto, and the BBQ Joint are some of my favorites.
Vanessa GatlinFebruary 25, 2014"Grab a glass of punch and a knish ($7) during happy hour at Buffalo & Bergen, Gina Chersevani’s Brooklyn-inspired soda fountain inside Union Market (Tuesday-Friday, 4-7 p.m.)."-via Daily Candy
The smoked hummus at Neopol is maddeningly good and completely genius. Also keep an eye out for smoked olives and some fantastic varieties of smoked fish. This is happy food.
Treva BarnesJune 14, 2016Literally everything. I've been here several times. Brunch is ridiculous. Dinner is great. Happy Hour is great. They are definitely winning.- Keri DouglasAugust 13, 2013Absolutely fantastic! The vibe is New York at its best! Union Market showcases the best in DC - in cuisine, design and even small business innovation.
Valerie SNovember 21, 2016Incredible selection of any cuisine available. Such a fun space with so many vendors and places to relax, eat, and socialize.- Sierra BarkdollFebruary 1, 2017Tripp place to hang out, shop for goods, and get delicious food. Takorean tacos are an absolutely amazing combo of flavors!
Campbell BirdMay 30, 2017Sloppy Mama's BBQ is some good eats. Get a pulled pork sandwich and drown it in Carolina sauce.
ChristinaNovember 3, 2016I ate at the French crepe place and got the vegetarian option...so good! Lots of good choices for food here!- John StevensonOctober 13, 2015This place is an amazing indoor food market. The Dosas, Korean Tacos and Bread Pudding are all wonderful booths.
Union Market, thank you for only being 4 blocks from my house. Eat at Bidwell. You stomach will thank you. Your wallet will not.
David E.August 14, 2019A hipster place. What I liked about this place is that it is hard of hearing friendly, it is very common to see people using sign language.. The food is good
Leslie LinaresAugust 23, 2017Awesome millennial spot to visit. Go to DC empanadas! Bidwell has great brunch. Don't miss the Amish ice cream.- L KApril 27, 2017A great selection of food. Nice place to hang out for a while and relax. Try something new!
abigail.September 25, 2016So many things to try! Will certainly be back to check out more shops - get here early to get good seats!
Seating indoors is sparse - come planning to eat outside on a nice day! Outdoor seating turns over quickly.- James JenningsAugust 9, 2018Understanding the history of this area - this is a incredible change - take advantage of this new opportunity - and explore the area
Camille WrightSeptember 25, 2015Lots of pricey artisan food and drinks. A few times a year they have clothing and furniture vendors in the back. Don't go expecting to find a deal!- MeshalJuly 28, 2019Lovely place with plenty of restaurant choices ... excellent place to have a fast bit
This place has finally grown up. Nearly every stall filled. Try the DC dosa, if you want a quick bite and don't want to queue.
With new restaurants coming up every time i visit .. this def is one of my best food labs / eu style markets around :)
They have everything. I especially love the fish wives. Always a great selection and fresh.
Michelle Parks-RobinsonAugust 20, 2017Had lunch at Bidwell; excellent food and service. Desperately needs more than 1 restroom to support the many, many patrons who visit the venue.
Ryan KDecember 29, 2014Love this place! Lots of starter companies from people tempting to make their way. Food is outstanding here!
Matt BernsteinJune 22, 2015Such an awesome space. Takorean tacos are delicious. Loved the frozen drinks at Suburbia.
Washington PostFebruary 28, 2013Get Red Apron’s Porkstrami: “It’s like pastrami made out of pork, and it’s topped with bacon and sauerkraut and a pork jus.” Read more
A great spot for groups given the variety of food and drink vendors--something for everyone!
Skip the Truckeroo line, there's no line to Takorean here! Also, walk around and sample from all the vendors. Don't sit down and tie yourself to one place for food.
Yera HaDecember 3, 2014Get here after 4pm to avoid the crowds! You don't want to miss this spot when you're in town.
