Update from Neopol:
“After 14 incredible years, it’s hard to put into words what Union Market has meant to us.
Thank you to Union Market for giving Neopol a place to grow, and thank you to every customer who stopped by, shared a meal with us, brought a friend, told someone about us, or simply kept coming back. Your support has meant more to us than you know.
And most importantly, thank you to our amazing staff—past and present. None of these 14 years would have been possible without your hard work, dedication, and the care you brought to Neopol every day.
We leave Union Market with so many great memories, friendships, and an incredible amount of gratitude.
Thank you for 14 unforgettable years, DC. ❤️
This isn’t goodbye to Neopol. We hope you’ll come visit us at one of our Baltimore locations. We’d love to see you.”
Thanks to Wendy for sending us this truly, truly terrible news: “Neopol in Union Market is closing down after today. I’m devastated! Wishing the best for them for sure. Such a loss for the neighborhood.”
A call to the stall confirms today is indeed their last day in DC. They’ll be open till 6pm if you want last taste (in DC.)
