A new food hall opened this month in Manhattan’s Garment District, adding some bold flavors to the mostly lackluster options in the neighborhood. Located at 231 West 39th Street, The Deco Food + Drink features eight family-owned vendors, a cocktail bar, and event space. An ode to 1920s New York, the Carpenter & Mason-designed space features an Art Deco aesthetic, with geometric tiles, bright blues, and brass accents framing each section.

Founded by Doris Huang, a former Godiva Chocolate executive, the food hall offers a variety of cuisines, like Hawaiian chicken, Brazilian bites, and Afghan comfort food. It will cater to both the lunch-time crowd of office workers and tourists, open until 9 p.m. daily.
Currently operating as a soft opening, expect full-service hours starting Monday, Jan. 6. The Deco Bar, opening at the end of the month, will serve wine, cocktails, and locally-brewed beers. Operating hours run weekdays from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. and weekends 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.
