Gotham West

CUSHMAN & WAKEFIELD
W
e see the Gotham West Market among
the cream of the crop of the new wave
of mini food halls that are popping up not only
in New York but across the entire country.
Located in Manhattan’s Hell’s Kitchen
neighborhood, this project is a few blocks
from the Times Square and the daytime office
employment centers of Midtown Manhattan.
It is usually packed thanks to both the recent
strong residential growth in this neighborhood
and the re-emergence of the West Side that
has been partially driven by projects like the
High Line and the ongoing Hudson Yards (a
few blocks south). The West Side’s
revitalization is ongoing and Gotham West
is ahead of the curve. We think the biggest
reason for the crowds is the quality of this
product. Within a few months of opening
earlier this year, Gotham West was named by
Travel + Leisure
Magazine as one of the world’s
Best New Food Halls. Its roughly 10,000 sf
house some of the city’s premier artisanal food
purveyors, as well as a bicycle porter and shop
(NYC Velo). Among the offerings for diners are
authentic street tacos from Choza Taqueria,
ramen from world-renowned expert Ivan Orkin
at the Ivan Ramen Slurp Shop, better burgers
from Genuine Roadside, made-to-order
handmade sushi rolls from Uma Temakeria,
desserts from Zagat’s top rated New York ice
cream shop (Ample Hills Creamery) and
charcuterie, small plates, craft beer and
cocktails from The Cannibal among others.
