"Kebabwala and Lori Jayne (Manhattan's version) sit at opposites sides of the main dining area at the new Time Out Market (124 East 14th Street, between Third and Fourth avenues) a relatively intimate food hall with over 200 seats, a sweet back patio, a full bar, five other restaurants with offerings that range from OK to very good, and a couple of stellar dessert options."
"The main problem with all of the above? Remembering that this place exists. One of the biggest challenges for New York City food halls is luring us inside without the storefront visual appeal. Lots of good stalls have closed in ventures like The Market Line on the LES, Gotham West in Hell's Kitchen, and the former tenant of this space on 14th Street, Urbanspace Union Square."
Two notable new restaurants opened within steps of each other near Union Square: a kebab stand from the Unapologetic Foods team and a Manhattan outpost of Sam Braverman's Lori Jayne. Both sit inside a relatively intimate Time Out Market at 124 East 14th Street that offers over 200 seats, a back patio, a full bar, multiple other vendors, and strong dessert options. A recurring challenge for New York food halls is attracting foot traffic without a compelling storefront; past ventures have closed. The market’s 14th Street location, surrounded by an NYU dorm, a subterranean Trader Joe’s, and medical buildings, may limit tourist draw.
