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

TIL Yang is slinging dinner on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I got their lasagna dinner tonight which was a hearty portion that included salad and bread for $16. It was better than most of the sit down Italian I’ve had in dc at a fraction of the price. Do check it out.

I cannot rave about Yangs enough! I feel so lucky to have it in our neighborhood. It's an adorable shop owned by a super cool couple with all the basic necessities, delicious sandwiches, and really cool "niche" items like Japanese bbq sauce, hot honey, pickled garlic, etc. If you need a quick gift for a host they have wine, beer, and charcuterie board items. They even have basic toiletries like tampons, toothbrushes, and OTC meds. I love the design of the shop and the owners always put fresh flowers on the tables outside :)

Yang Market is such a fun and funky local spot, a true local gem. Sandwiches, classic candies, all your basic needs, beer & wine, and much much more. You have to check it out and get some treats to sit outside at their little tables and enjoy!

Best corner store in DC! Owners are super friendly and helpful, bagel breakfast sandwiches are to die for, and prices are very reasonable. It’s also a cute place to visit on a weekend morning for breakfast and coffee with small tables out front/ to chat and meet with neighbors. Yangs came as a much needed convenience store during the pandemic and has been doing an amazing job at serving its community ever since. I love Yang’s!

Yang Market is a gift to the neighborhood! They have a great selection of snacks, wine, beer, and fresh produce. It's all priced very reasonably, and they also have a deli of well-priced sandwich options. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. It's the perfect place to stop whether you need an extra ingredient for dinner or if you're on the hunt for a new fun treat.

This iteration of Yang is cute. Nice little deli and you can basically build any sandwich for $6 which is a great deal. Don’t try calling the number on the menu website.. they apparently don’t have a phone at this place which I find super annoying (minus 1 star)

The husband is cool and friendly. Never met anyone at the register who was anything but pleasant. The selection Is great and food is decent. But that wife is sooooo nasty! Really just unnecessary rude. Doesn’t matter the time of day. I’ve actually decided to just stop greeting her because she NEVER returns the good morning or good afternoon, etc. I’ve brought coworkers there who refuse to go back because of her nasty attitude. 5 stars for the market overall. Zero stars for her nasty attitude.

The best (and cheapest) breakfast sandwich in the city! Gem of the neighborhood, queens of our hearts <3

Yang Market is a great and essential store in the Eckington neighborhood of DC. A good selection of wines, beers, and snacks. They also have a coffee shop and deli. I got their club sandwich and it is quite the sandwich! Packed with three different meats towered high. If you don't like any of their sandwiches you can choose to create your own. The owners and service are great. If you are in a pinch for a quick sandwich or some snacks if you are in the Eckington neighborhood this is an essential spot. They also have a great mural on the side of the building. I plan to make many spots back here.

Cool local place with great options and great sandwiches We had the tuna salad and the caprese which was delicious and really inexpensive for what we got. The bread is super fresh and complemented the fixings. Everyone we talked to was extremely friendly and engaged - the lady in front was so nice to the young kids and family behind us They have fresh bread delivered and a lot of hard to find goods Love this neighborhood place. Support local businesses!!! Cool, hip bodega vibes - definitely check this place out

Sandwiches are quite marginal. I paid around $40 for two sandwiches, two drinks and chips. Which is fine but nothing you can't get from the grocery deli counter. And you can find better coffee elsewhere.

I really enjoyed my sandwiches! Also a great array of staples combined with some specialty grocery items from local makers.

I really want to like this place, and support them because they're a woman owned business. But the last few times their customer service has been downright rude. Your local convenience store should just be that, convenient. It should also be friendly. I woke up this morning and came into the store at 1030 am really craving a breakfast sandwich, the lady in for me that there was no eggs and she couldn't make my sandwich because it would take 10 to 15 minutes to make eggs for a sandwich. They advertise that they sell breakfast sandwiches all day. It wasn't, by the way your sandwich is going to be delayed, so sorry for the wait. The owner literally told me we can't make it sandwich because it'll be 10 to 15 minutes. This was after making me wait 5 to 8 minutes when talking to another customer about kombucha, and how she just had her coffee. It takes me 5 minutes to make eggs at home. So I'm wondering how fresh the eggs are, especially if they sell breakfast sandwiches all day. The store is cute and looks like it would be a great place for the neighborhood. But this isn't the first time I or my partner received customer service that made us think that Yang's doesn't want our business.

Top notch spot! I heard about this place from some D.C. list about great sandwiches in the district, and this place did not disappoint. I forget what the sandwich I had was called, but let me tell you it was delicious. Everything was super fresh, from the bread to the shredded lettuce to the multiple meats. You could tell a lot of thought and appreciation for the art of food went into the making of the sandwich. The store itself is very clean and well organized. They obviously care about what the people want and ask for because they have some specialty items. They also have a good amount of products from local suppliers in the area, and who doesn't love to support local! Overall, this place is definitely worth a visit. It's lucky for my waistline that I don't live closer, because I would be here everyday if I could.

Class. Charming. Warm vibrations. Yang Market's new management has flipped this bodega from The Wire to a local foods destination. You can tell that they really care about their market when they engage with their patrons and stock local favorite items on request, such as my fav French bread pizza. Not only do they have local favorite items items in their shelves but a plethora of local foods and drinks from the D.C. Area. The new Yang Market is here to stay and is a welcome sight in the Eckington Community. Black Tie Optional.

Yang Market is a neighborhood corner store in the Eckinton neighborhood of DC. It changed ownership around a year ago and the new owners added a deli. The deli is FANTASTIC! I went for the first time today and got the Positraction. it was great, lots of turkey, fresh veggies, delicious. Can't wait to go back and try some of their other sandwiches. Yang Market is still a market too, so you can buy sodas, drinks, chips, etc. Will definitely be back.

Cool points instantly rewarded for being off the beaten path (aka, in the hood). More cool points given for being located inside a rando convenience store -- people eat that shit up! And some additional cool points sprinkled on for the artistic chalk-board menu and Christmas lights. So Yang Market is cool. A good place to take that person who [annoyingly] thinks they know every hole in the wall in every corner of DC and have seen it all. The food stands alone though, and apart from all the aforementioned highlights, deserves a high star appointment. I will say, I was extremely hesitant. Firstly, subs/sandwiches are not the easiest cuisine for a vegetarian, and most of the time, either there are no choices at all, or the options are really lame. And secondly, when you do fall upon the rare creative and delicious vegetarian sandwich, it's usually with a strong dose of creativity and taking untypical sandwich components to make something as filling and desirable as a mountain of roast beef. Was I going to find this is a convenient store sandwich shop in the Eckington?? Well... not really. There were no vegetarian options on the board, but when we walked in, my bf sweetly asked the one sole worker behind the counter if there were any veggie options or if he could whip something up for me. He happily obliged and said he would create something delicious and meatless for me. And he did! My sandwich had greens, mozzarella, tomato, peppers and pickled vegetables. The pickled veggies really took this sandwich from what would have probably been disappointing (due to the v. standard ingredient mix) to really enjoyable. So I didn't get anything creative or standout, but I found myself doing my happy shoulder-wiggle-yummy-food-dance, so it must have been pretty good. Tasty for sure. I forget what my boyfriend got, but I do remember that he said he really enjoyed it, and he's pretty hard to please with food.

Great local corner star with a coffee bar and deli. Yang's has come along way from when we moved into our home in Eckington three years ago. Great deli and coffee shop with an amazing selection of beer and wine. The food choices leave something to be desired, but I'll take the other extras over that any day. Great staff and owners. So happy this is in my neighborhood.

So I moved into the neighborhood a few months ago and was looking for near by sandwich shop on the Google and stumbled across this place. That was 2 weeks ago and I have been there 3 times since. I have stuck with the world traveler sandwich each time because I'm a sucker for some fresh mozzarella. Man, it might be the best quality sandwich I've ever had. My roommates and friends have now been converted and we go together. We love checking out the random assortment of stuff while we wait too. They have sodas, beer, wine, chips, snacks (animal crackers and star crunches!?), some household items and groceries, as well as local Julius coffee. One day I'm going to have to try their bagels. I think I'd be a regular even if I didn't live around the corner. This store is one of those hidden gems in DC that you just have to try. 100% quality.

The sandwiches here are so good. I honestly think this is the best sandwich place in DC. Tucked in the back of a nondescript bodega, this sandwich shop has the freshest bread, the best ingredients. You could easily drive across town for one of these sandwiches. I got the Mona Lisa. Prosciutto, spiced melon, and mozzarella on a hoagie. Great flavor combination. I really can't wait to go back and try all of them. Spent a little time shopping in the market as well, which has interesting things, mostly produced in DC. I got a tray of bagel balls where the cream cheese was injected into the center of the bite. Yum!

Just stopped in after reading an article in the Washingtonian about the new management and the addition of a small deli. I live a block away and I am ecstatic to have a place like this right here in Eckington! A nice convenience store with some groceries, snacks, frozen foods, medicines, beauty essentials etc. However, the highlight was certainly the Deli! Small menu but rich with options! I tried the Mona Lisa (w/prosciutto, melon and arugula) it was GREAT! Very tasty and filling without being too heavy! The owners were very friendly - in general, a great atmosphere and experience! I hope many will find this hidden gem.

Such a great addition to the neighborhood. The owners are awesome. For sandwiches, get the Yuts. The combination of a roast beef/cheddar and turkery/aoli on a pretzel roll will keep you wanting more.

Oh. My. God. You'd never guess that the best sandwich place is in this part of DC, but it totally is. I had the most delicious sandwich today. It was roast beef and cheddar on a super-fresh pretzel roll with a sauce that brought the whole sandwich together. My only regret was that I was full and couldn't immediately order another....wanted to try them all on my first visit. That'll have to be for the next trip. This was by far the best sandwich I've had in DC. This whole neighborhood is such a food desert, and having this sandwich shop is perfect. I could eat here every evening and be perfectly happy. So if you've gotta have one sandwich place in the neighborhood, it may as well be Yang Market. A+ on freshness and taste. A+ on super friendly service. The people making the sandwiches were so friendly. The market has some pretty cool stuff, also. This place is totally worth checking out.

Delicious and huge sandwiches. AND cold Topo Chico in the fridge (a rare D.C. find). The store had basic necessities and local bites. Will be back (when very hungry)

Happy I found this recently reopened market that is a hidden gem in my neighborhood! Clean, safe & fantastic Italian deli with sandwiches that are elevated, sophisticated with beautiful fresh & clean flavors. The rosè aioli was innovative, on-trend, wonderful! Get the canolis & nitro coffee too! The new owners live in the neighborhood & are VERY friendly!! Perfect for a quick sammy & pick me up! The Market part has local food items, almond milk, condiments, rosè, local beer, and other items you just might need but don't want to go alllll the way to a big grocer. Wonderful wonderful place!

So happy to have this in the neighborhood! Awesome deli and market selling local D.C. Made products. Not a huge selection of grocery type things but good beer selection and excellent sandwiches. Italian sub was just like I grew up with in Philly, and all that I had hoped for and more.

I kept hearing about this place, so I figured I would break my diet and go grab a sub. I also needed to pick up some coffee. I love neighborhood bodegas (and supporting local businesses), and Yang Market definitely has earned a repeat customer from me. Like many other reviewers, I ordered the Mona Lisa, and it was absolutely fantastic. Fresh, sharp arugula, paired with slightly sweet melon and prosciutto, on bread with the perfect crunch on the outside, and chewy, gluten goodness on the inside. I grabbed a bag of chips, a coconut water and a jar of Folger's and headed home. I will say, I was sort of hoping they would have more local products, but I understand that those can get expensive to stock, and it's not like this is Union Market. Great local spot, excellent sandwiches, friendly staff.

I went two times. First off, I like the concept. Turn an unremarkable basic DC corner store into something better. (yeah yeah, gentrifier haters go fuck yourselves--there is still plenty of garbage food in DC if you want to poison yourself). The first time, my friend and I got the '64 Skylark. It was very good, traditional, and we each saved half for the next day--so the portions were generous! I liked it so much I went back. I was with my picky 13 yr old nephew, so while we ordered the '64 Skylark again, we held the spicy peppers and tomato--but I was expecting basically the same sandwich. Sadly, I got a shell of what I got the first time. Maybe it was the custom order that confused the sandwich maker. Maybe it was the actual sandwich maker (different person from the first time). But the sandwich was pretty skimpy. Expecting it to be a monster, I ordered just one to split with my nephew and we were both hungry afterwards. I will go back again as I am hoping this second Skylark was an anomaly.

The deli sandwiches are my favorite in the city - unique, fun ingredients and the different types of bread (pretzel roll!!) are incredible. The rest of the market is filled with a ton of local, socially-conscious products and the service is always great. ***please note, Yang's came under new owners in the last year who totally re-vamped and cleaned the place up! Used to have old fluorescent lighting, etc, but is totally refurbished now.

Great neighborhood bodega with an amazing sandwich/deli counter, bagels and decent coffee. Can be pricey but the meats/ingredients are super high quality (I've chatted with the owner many times while he makes my food!) and so convenient to have something in the neighborhood instead of walking down to Bloomingdale. Great beer selection, wines are ok, but I think they will take requests if you plan on being a regular. Minimal groceries, but they have a little bit of everything if you are in a pinch.

I stopped by Yang Market the other day, I had not been there in awhile. It is really a cool little independent corner store with great sandwiches (two youts, which is roast beef on a pretzel roll, YUMMY), delicious cold brew and importantly, MILK CULT ice cream sandwiches. I was really struck with what a positive experience I had in the few minutes I was there, the owner, Pete introduced himself, he was super friendly and really made me feel like my business was appreciated, a real rarity in this town.

Amazing sandwiches and snacks. We go every weekend for lunch while we are doing chores around the house. The beer selection is pretty good the service is friendly. Pro tip: get an ice cream sandwich! They keep them behind the counter so you have to ask, but they are AMAZING.

Lyndsi and Pete are fantastic and make living in Eckington so much better. Market has a nice mixture of libations and snacks and basic essentials as well as a focus on local items. And the sandwiches, run there to be at them ASAP. Don't run on Monday though, you will be left sad and with no sandwich but hey everyone needs a day off

This bodega just makes me so happy. I wished they were closer. Let me begin by stating how refreshing it is for people to buy a place and keep the name. The first time i arrived to find the deli and a nice guy at the counter. I asked alot of questions and his suggestions. I came home with 2 giant hoagies. The bread fresh, thinly sliced onions, shredded lettuce, rare roast beef and sweet peppers to make anyone smile. After enjoying the sandwiches so much, i took some friends. The 64 skylark sandwich was superb. The gallo was an Italian sandwich the,way it should be. The oil and oregano were a perfet blend. Aaron and Finis were funny, informative and so happy. They were wonderful. The cannolis were filled to order and not too sweet. They have a wide selection of drinks, chips and candy. I love they have several local items like Compass coffee and Capitol Candy. Keep up the great work!! I will be back again for sure with my friends. We are all hooked.

The new owners are awesome and we couldn't be more excited about the upgraded addition to the neighborhood. The sandwiches are off the hook...fresh, tasty- and they have amazing bread. Additionally, the offerings are fresher than under the previous management and it has been great being able to buy some organic milk from our corner store! We really could not speak more positively about the new store, deli or owners. +1000 for Eckington!

This place is convenient for last-minute items and they make delicious sandwiches--what more could Eckington ask for? The 2 Youts--roast beef, turkey and cheddar on a pretzel roll--is amazing. The renovated Yang's is huge improvement over the previous incarnation, and a great new addition to the neighborhood.

I appreciate that they are located in this isolated neighborhood. They have mostly junk food but also carry Amy's frozen meals which I like. They occasionally have some not great veggies. No coffee or fresh foods. Neighborhood 'entrepreneurs' tend to hang around out front, sometimes with unleashed dogs.

I've lived in this neighborhood for over 60 years. Ownership has only change 3 times and all owners seem to have been doing well. One upon a time the previous owners had a carryout, laundry mat, dry cleaners and the store with a large apartment over the store.
