"A food hall from a team with NYC credentials (including Union Square Cafe and Upland) has opened in Holmdel’s Bell Works complex, taking over about 6,000 square feet and rolling out in stages over the past couple months; all five concepts — a Japanese restaurant, a customizable grain-bowl spot, an NY-style deli, a bakery, and a wood-fired pizza restaurant — are now open and the hall is accessible to the public despite Bell Works also containing residences and private offices. Operated by a single company (RBC Hospitality Group), it avoids the redundancy common to many food halls while otherwise following the familiar food-hall formula (sushi, pizza, sandwiches, pastries, grain bowls). Bell Works is a revamped historical research facility, and the market is currently open Monday–Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m." - Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya
