Beloved DC butcher retires after over 40 years, sells iconic Union Market space
Since April 9, the iconic Harvey’s Market butcher shop in Northeast D.C.’s Union Market food hall is no more. Instead, the space, along with the name rights, have been sold to Brad Feickert, the chef and owner of Soko Butcher and Koma Cafe in Takoma Park.
The Union Market space, now officially known as Harvey’s by Soko, continues to bear the historic Harvey’s Market sign, at least for the time being. But before his departure into a happy retirement, George Lesznar talked about his more than four decades of experience as a butcher in the D.C. region and what’s next for him.
