Union Market

DC's coolest market has been around for nearly 100 years and has always had space for dozens (and at some points in history, hundreds) of vendors, selling wares of all types. Today's offerings skew towards hipster favorites, with artisanal cheeses, meats, chocolate, body products, cookbooks and homewares on sale. Visit in the morning so you can pick up a coffee and stroll around the stands as they open for the day.
