Measuring 3K m2, the new market is 3x the size as the old one, with space for 2 full service restaurants, 39 market vendors, a state-of-the-art demonstration kitchen, mezzanine level public seating, event office spaces and a sub-cellar vendor storage space. Inside the market, shoppers will find 14 new vendors and 25 vendors from the original market. Returning vendors like Saxelby Cheesemongers and Essex Farms will be joined by newcomers such as Samesa, a contemporary Middle Eastern takeaway counter; Riverdel, a vegan specialty shop that crafts their very own in-house cheeses, and Chinatown Ice Cream Factory; a family run business from Chinatown now operated by the second generation. For some new vendors coming into the market, it will be their first brick and mortar location. The unique mix of vendors will offer affordable daily provisions, prepared and specialty foods. The new space allows existing vendors to expand their current offerings with more room to stock a diverse array of goods and install food preparation equipment provided by the NYCEDC.
