From a press release:
“Mondepice, the tea and spice brand familiar to Washington holiday market shoppers since 2018, has opened a permanent shop at Union Market. The store opened September 15, following a spring and summer pop-up at the market. The opening gives customers a year-round destination for loose-leaf teas, signature spice blends, flavored salts, matcha and culinary gift sets, with practical guidance on what to choose and how to use it.

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.)

4th and Penn streets NE courtesy EDENS
From a press release:
“Continuing its vision of creating places in Union Market District where community, design and culture come together in unexpected settings, today EDENS unveiled plans for Late Checkout and Nº 31. By next year, the corner of 4th and Penn streets NE will be transformed into a welcoming oasis in the heart of the city, where elevated hospitality offers many reasons to stay.
“Late Checkout is the kind of place everyone will want to be—whether you disappear into the garden for an afternoon, let a drink turn into dinner or bring an out-of-town guest to an experience that could only exist in Union Market District,” said Jodie W. McLean, CEO of EDENS. “And if you’re still not ready to leave, you can settle into one of our guest rooms. This is not simply a new place to stay; it’s an entirely new way to experience hospitality.”
The site’s potential first came into focus last year when EDENS debuted Union Market by Design: Room Service, inviting Washington to wander through motel rooms transformed by interior designers, artisans, fine artists and home and lifestyle brands. The two-week event revealed what 7,000 visitors saw firsthand: there is an appetite in DC for unexpected places to gather; an obsolete motel wanted a new life, and EDENS is now delivering it.
