Eckington’s Yang Market Will Sell Its Last Italian Sandwich Saturday - Eater DC
"Yang Market, located in Eckington, is known for selling gourmet groceries and Italian deli sandwiches named after My Cousin Vinny quotes. Owner Peter Sitcov decided to close the store due to the taxing nature of running it alone and high building repair costs. Sitcov, along with his wife Lyndsi, owns the building and plans to find a socially conscious renter to take over the space. The market retained its original name to serve longtime customers and newcomers by offering canned goods, cheap beer, boutique coffee, and charcuterie. Sitcov opened the deli side of the business in 2017, drawing inspiration from his experience at the Italian Store in Arlington. Despite renovations, the building required frequent repairs, adding to Sitcov's decision to close. Sitcov expressed a desire for more support from local business programs and City Council member Kenyan McDuffie. Yang Market will close this weekend, and Sitcov plans to work with chef Adam Greenberg at the upcoming Coconut Club near Union Market." - Gabe Hiatt
