A James Beard-backed food hall is headed to NYC’s Chelsea this fall
In an unexpected twist to NYC’s ever-expanding stable of food halls, restaurant industry nonprofit the James Beard Foundation is throwing its hat in the ring. The national foundation and restaurant awards machine has teamed up with Jamestown — the seasoned food hall operators behind Chelsea Market and Brooklyn’s Industry City — and Google to launch a new food hall with over a dozen vendors at Pier 57 in Chelsea, opening in fall 2022.

The nonprofit will have full control over one of the vendor stalls, where it plans to showcase a rotating number of chefs involved in James Beard’s various programs, Reichenbach says. The nonprofit will also help pick out the 17 other food vendors, mostly local to NYC, to fill out the Jamestown-run space.
Aside from the vendors, James Beard will also run a show kitchen and demonstration on the ground floor surrounded by vendors that will highlight the nonprofit’s various events and programming throughout the year, according to Reichenbach.

Reichenbach sees the forthcoming space as a way to bring the foundation’s mission, which has gone through its own
