"At the Seaport's Tin Building I wandered through gourmet food stalls and artisanal market vendors — a delightful cluster of gourmet eateries and charming retail that makes for a perfect casual lunch or snack stop." - Sophie Mendel
"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
"A Jean-Georges Vongerichten-associated food-and-hospitality property run by the same Seaport Entertainment Group that is the landlord for the forthcoming installation; mentioned as part of the landlord's portfolio at the Seaport." - Nadia Chaudhury
"By comparison to the new 14,000-square-foot restaurant, the nearby Tin Building is a much larger food complex at about 53,000 square feet and employs up to 700 workers; it sits within the broader Seaport food ecosystem overseen by Seaport Entertainment Group, which is also behind the Jean-Georges Vongerichten-stamped food hall." - Melissa McCart
"A Seaport-run food and retail venue in New York where, just prior to the inauguration, management surprised workers with mandatory background checks and discontinued the employment of many undocumented kitchen and custodial staff. The action is cited as an example of how employers and entertainment groups have enacted measures that abruptly remove undocumented workers from their jobs amid escalating enforcement threats." - Jaya Saxena
