Gotham West Market

Once devoid of gourmet-grocery options, Hell's Kitchen got a one-two punch with the opening of both Brooklyn Fare and this block-long food mall. With a whopping 15,000 square feet, the retail-dining mecca is divided into eight culinary stalls—such as Blue Bottle Coffee and Brooklyn Kitchen—as well as a full-service NYC Velo bike shop. The food court includes Ivan Ramen Slurp Shop, where the noodle guru offers his famed shio, shoyu and chili-sesame varieties; Choza Taqueria, a traditional Mexican taco and burrito joint with Southern Californian flare from Dominic Giuliano (Punch and Judy, PS 450, The Volstead); and El Colmado tapas bar from Seamus Mullen (Tertulia). At the center of the expansive space are communal tables, with garage doors opening to sidewalk seating outside El Colmado and the Cannibal's cocktail-and-charcuterie post.
