F
rom Seattle to Philly, food halls are becoming the next
dining-centric destination topping the lists of hungry and
curious consumers. New York City's latest is Gotham West
Market, a 15,000-square-foot marketplace showcasing eight pre-
mier artisanal food vendors, located in Manhattan's Midtown West
area—better known as Hell's Kitchen.
With such nearby modern attractions as the 350-acre Hudson River Park
and the U.S. Intrepid Museum, Gotham West Market sits on the ground f loor of
its namesake, Gotham West, a 1.3 million-square-foot luxury apartment complex.
It attracts building tenants and a large lunch and after-work crowd from neighbor-
ing businesses. A buzzing nightlife during the week gives way to a weekend desti-
nation for tourists enjoying Hudson River Park. The building is the brainchild of
real estate developers Gotham Organization.
NYC's newest food hall is bringing a
compelling mix of chefs and vendors to create
a destination in the heart of Hell's Kitchen.
