Block 16 Urban Food Hall

"One friend handled the hotel reservation, another coordinated the tickets to see Jack White at The Chelsea, and you’ve been put in charge of dinner. Before you panic, deny you know any of them, and run away to the desert, remember that there’s always Block 16 Food Hall. With six different vendors, from Nashville hot chicken to donuts, you’ll be able to make everyone happy with the choice, and hopefully your friends are down to share." - milena difiore

"There’s no better collection of some of the country’s greatest hits than at Block 16. From Nashville’s Hattie B’s Hot Chicken to New Orleans’s District Donuts Sliders Brew, there really is something for everybody at this food hall. Come here with a low-maintenance date or friend for a no-fuss meal in between hanging out at the pool and catching a concert. Other notable options include sushi handrolls from Tekka Bar, over-the-top sandwiches from Portland’s Lardo, and spit-roasted meats rolled in Korean flatbread from Bang Bar by Momofuku. photo credit: Alan Weiner" - Emmy Kasten
