After the North 3rd Street Market in Brooklyn was closed in 2020, a new food hall operated by the hospitality group Moonrise Ventures called the Williamsburg Market has recently opened in its place. The Williamsburg Market features food options from 17 vendors which include: Alidoro Italian Sandwich Shop, Chef Bill Kim’s Urbanbelly, Malai Ice Cream, Harlem Seafood Soul, Ivy Stark Mexology, Paper Plate, and more. The concept of the Williamsburg Market offers guests an intimate ‘French country farmhouse meets Brooklyn industrial’ aesthetic. The space also features a gorgeous 360-degree brass and marble bar, an indoor/outdoor dining room, and kiosks for each vendor. The Knockturnal was in attendance at the market’s grand opening celebration in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
While at the opening, The Knockturnal sampled Paper Plate’s signature chicken sandwich and fries which was served with a mini vanilla Oreo milkshake. Prior to opening in it’s permanent location at the market, Paper Plate debuted as a vendor at the Smorgasburg outdoor food market. The Knockturnal also sampled the chicken and waffles from Harlem Seafood Soul. Harlem Seafood Soul was originally established as a food truck in Harlem by Chef Tami in 2016. Aside from their seafood offerings Harlem Seafood Soul is known for their fried mac and cheese balls.
“It is truly a unique opportunity to bring together such a talented group of chefs and operators under one roof here in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, one of New York City’s most exciting and dynamic neighborhoods,” said Cameron Schur, Managing Partner of Moonrise Ventures, who also calls Williamsburg home.
