Anthony Bourdain announced plans to open an NYC food market [2] back in Fall 2015, but many new updates are being reported [3], including which food vendors are confirmed so far, when the darn market will finally be open to the public, and where the market will be located.
Confirmed vendors: La Guerrerense tostada cart (from Ensenada, Mexico), Geylang Claypot Rice (from Singapore), and chefs April Bloomfield and Ken Friedman (the Spotted Pig team from NYC)
New opening date: The Bourdain Market [4] website now shows the opening date as 2019, meaning the project has been pushed back two years. Let's hope it doesn't continue to show a later date!
Unconfirmed location: Bourdain and his team have not signed a lease at the Meatpacking District's Pier 57, though the Bourdain Market website [5] has Pier 57 as the address. Rumor has it [6] the developers are eyeing the Gansevoort Market (near Chelsea Market) as a backup.
