Culintro recently posted their upcoming panel event for April:
“Until recently, New York City food aficionados used to have to buy a plane ticket to experience the incomparable delicacies and endless options that exist at classic international food halls. Now food halls seem to be popping up as frequently as food trucks, on a much grander scale, leaving us diners hungry for more.
The popularity of the Food Hall is not solely based on the food but also on the aesthetic and design. Top designers from across the country have targeted this gourmand culture and have built and created these Food Halls to entice and inspire. The Design Firm, AvroKO will speak about their recent development of Gotham West along with a few other under-the-radar projects in development; Renowned designer, Jeffrey Beers, will speak about his work at thePlaza Food Hall. The conversation will be moderated by Stacy Rauen, Editor, HD Magazine.”
