Delicious real estate opportunities near New York's most popular food halls

By CityRealty Staff | From Great Listings Wednesday, December 21, 2022

When Zero Irving was still on the drawing board, it was announced that the new Union Square tech hub would include a 10,000-square-foot food hall run by Urbanspace. More recently, the food hall opened to the public on Tuesday, December 14. As part of the deal with New York City Economic Development Corporation, at least 25% of the vendors were required to be small businesses; however, about 50% may be classified as such. These include fried chicken restaurant Bobwhite Counter, GoFish Sushi Box, Italian restaurant Kid Brother, and Taiwanese stand Bao by Kaya.

The food hall at Zero Irving is the most recent to open in New York City. Not to be confused with the food courts of fast-food joints in suburban malls, New York's food halls operate independently of any retail collection or department store. They typically offer a mix of fast-casual counters, sit-down restaurants, and the occasional non-culinary retail establishment. Not only do they allow up-and-coming concepts to get their start without taking the plunge of a full restaurant, but they allow more established chefs to burnish their brands. They also have the benefit of making their neighborhoods more attractive to live in with such appealing dining options so close by.

Gourmands come from all over the city, and sometimes the world, to sample the wares of its most popular food halls. However, the following listings are located less than a mile away, allowing for a convenient option to get food to go if the crowds are too much.

Years before the High Line was conceived, another adaptive reuse project was instrumental in the transformation of the Meatpacking District. Not only did this food hall in a former National Biscuit Company factory draw new attention to this part of Downtown Manhattan, but it was also one of the leaders of the food hall trend.

Highlights:

Local hot spot Buddakan
Butcher/restaurant Dickson's Farmstand Meats
Seafood counter Lobster Place
Asian grocery store and mini food hall Pearl River Mart Foods
