"A giant Seaport food hall led by celebrity chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten that opened in 2022 and cost close to $200 million to build out. Crain’s New York reported that landlord Seaport Entertainment Group Inc. said it had a “$33 million loss” for the venue in 2024, and the operator now plans to revamp the food-hall footprint to save money: closing one of the two commissary kitchens and shuttering one of the lesser‑frequented stalls. Earlier in January the operation laid off 100 workers after conducting employment-authorization checks, as reported by Gothamist. The same landlord is also behind the development’s large new restaurant and other forthcoming attractions, which factors into broader site-level planning." - Nadia Chaudhury
