    Been to the one in Boston. Faneuil hall. Overpriced and mediocre options, a bunch of black people harassing you with fake charity bullshit while you try to eat. Nope.

      I do miss having another person as an excuse to order more stuff with, but I like that I can grab my food and sit alone at a food hall too.

      Did it close down or did you move away? Or did you just stop buying so much heroin. Spent a bunch of time in Baltimore, I used to go to the hipster food hall in Mt. Vernon

        Much of the building has been demolished and the deli vendor I liked closed down. I also live half a dozen states away from Maryland and only visited to see a sibling who was attending college.

    The food halls in Denver are closing, being sold and redeveloped, etc. They're unsustainable.

    The David Jones Food Hall in Sydney is pretty good. Yes, it's expensive, and yes it's in Sydney so it's clusterfuken most of the time, but the food is top notch and the imports in the grocery sections are amazing shit. For absolutely years it was the only place in Sydney you could buy stuff like Frank's hot sauce, and just tons of great cheeses and preserves and fancy things from Yurop and the Americas.

    Covid™ nearly kilt it but they did a refurb and successfully reopened. They have one at Bondi Junction and down in Melbourne too. Only thing that cheesed me off was they shut down the oyster bar which fucking sucks. But man you can get some amazing pies and cakes and pasta and stuff. I'd go there more often if I didn't have to tolerate chaotic amounts of people everywhere.

    In recent years they also opened one called Hispanice Alley near Central, which is basically all Asian places, and it's overall not good and of course the service is absolutely terrible. There are 2-3 proper restaurants in the precinct which do look good but I haven't tried them, I only ever just popped in for some quick dumperringh or a plate of stir fry noodles that always looks like a shovel load of kitchen trash.

    what about those ones like a cafeteria where you get a tray and order in line and pay when you leave
    I went to one in prague and it's comfy not to deal with wagie servers during the consumption

      There was one in Boston called Marché Mövenpick which closed years ago but it was great. All the different stalls were above average and there was plenty of grab & go items along the way as well. From what I recall you just got a paper slip and they just stamped it everywhere you stopped to grab something. The price really fucking gets out of control if you aren't paying attention though

    I like the idea of a place where people can try out food ideas relatively cheap vs. Renting out a restaurant. But I haven't really been impressed by any place I've eaten in one so far.

    I don't go there often because most of them are overpriced and the quality is the same as food court
    Popular stores that are good at what they do are quickly moving out of the halls with high rents.

    From my experience? They all fucking suck. Crowded, filled with tourists to the city, nowhere, literally nowhere, to sit, almost ALWAYS you get harassed by a horde of homeless schizos the second you walk out (which is probably with your food since you have nowhere to sit), long ass lines which means you MIGHT go to one maybe two of the food spots.

    Like, the food is typically good, but it's just not worth it. The experience is shit.

    I have very memorable dreams that take place in halls like these. I haven't even been to very many in real life, but they obviously have made a huge impression on me.

    ///////////////////////////////////////

    Some examples of places that feel like this to me:
    The back stalls/winding market halls of pike place market
    That asian mall/cafe place in southeast Paris
    The arcades of Wales
    The underground tunnels (with corporate food vendors) connecting the skyscrapers of downtown Seattle

    ////////////////////

    My dreams that take place in halls like these often include the following motifs:
    Wooden, creaky board walls and floors (but everything is bright and clean)
    Irregular hallway angles
    Cozy nooks and geometry
    Staircase down from street level, a dirty tiled mezzanine, then further staircases down into halls lined with noodle vendors
    Surprising connections between areas (such as, "Oh wow, this tunnel leads to a nook of stalls exposed on the waterfront")
    Overall, a sense of longing, and excitement/discovery

      Fucking this, Fucking Hipsters and their need to rename mundane objects to make them hip and cool. Mobile homes are now tiny homes, food courts are food halls, etc.
