The food hall trend continued to expand this week with the opening of the new Canal Street Market in New York City.

The 12,000-square-foot food hall includes stalls from 12 vendors, including new to-go concepts from the operators of the popular Ippudo ramen bar and an invitation-only pop-up space called CMS Lab, which serves as a culinary incubator.

Petee’s Pie Co. is the opening pop-up concept, offering both sweet and savory pastries such as Dos Leches Tart with vanilla goat milk custard and cajeta, and Blueberry Shortcake with biscuit nuggets, blueberry sauce and sour cream.
