With the recent openings of Waterworks and Wellington Market, there’s a surge in curated food-hall experiences. What’s in it for diners?

Im willing to make a bet that the food hall is a fad and soon all the diner realize they are paying high restaurant prices for a subpar food court experience.
The retail leasing team will struggle to always re-lease these space long term.
my estimate is each food vendor will only survive say 2 year tops and that is being optimistic...
Assembly is still doing pretty well. Even on a Friday, when it's pretty dead in the financial district food courts, it's half full. Most days you can't find a table.
But when O&B open a food hall at 1 York and immediately close it for the "summer season" that can't be a good omen.
