"What began in Soho in the 1980s has expanded to outposts throughout the city, and the latest Alidoro is headed for the JACX&CO food hall in Long Island City, joining several food stalls including a Bobwhite Counter and neighboring the new Chinese restaurant Red Sorghum in the same building." - Emma Orlow
"This stylish food hall in Long Island City has brought together a solid lineup of stalls run by some of the city’s buzziest chefs, including Lotus and Cleaver, a Cantonese barbecue bowl spot from the team behind Wayla and Kimika. Don’t miss acclaimed pastry chef Ghaya Oliveria’s all-day cafe, where she is turning out an expertly layered ham-and-cheese mille-feuille that recently caught the attention of Eater critic Ryan Sutton." - Eater Staff
"Dan Kluger, the celebrated chef behind Loring Place in Greenwich Village, is set to open his long-awaited second restaurant this week. Penny Bridge is the latest addition to the flashy Jacx mega-development in Long Island City, whose nearby food hall is home to businesses from popular chef JJ Johnson and pastry star Ghaya Oliveira. Penny Bridge is a step in a new direction for Kluger, if not in terms of its menu then at least in its appearance. Loring Place, with its seasonal approach to American fare, is nestled on a cozy street in Greenwich Village, while the new restaurant sits across from a City Acres Market in a high-ceilinged corner of the Jacx development. Penny Bridge will only be available for takeout and delivery when the restaurant opens on January 22." - Luke Fortney
"Jacx & Co is a bi-level, 11,000-square-foot food hall that stands apart from other sprawling NYC food hall developments by housing just nine small operators. It caters to both office lunch crowds and residents. The starting lineup of vendors includes expansions from established names and exciting newcomers, focusing on a mix of traditional and modern cuisines. It is outfitted with pandemic health safety features and currently offers indoor dining." - Erika Adams
