"Along with shops, retail complex City Foundry boasts stellar bars, a winery, a virtual reality experience, a Putt-Putt course, and a movie theater. But most people come for the food hall, overseen by James Beard winner Gerard Craft, who can often be found cooking off wood-fired pizzas at his own Fordo’s Killer Pizza. Also look out for Alloun Thiam, a self-trained chef and owner of Chez Ali, which serves a constantly changing menu of delicious African Caribbean dishes, including thieboudienne, Senegal’s national dish of rice and fish. Other highlights include toasted ravioli, Belgian waffles, chef Nate Hereford’s perfect rotisserie chicken, and chef Brandi Artis’s po’ boys and shrimp and grits seasoned with her signature blend." - Holly Fann, Joel Crespo
