June 13, 2016 Restaurant/Bar News, Shopping
There’s now signage up for 84 stores and restaurants at the Westfield World Trade Center mall, and rather than show photos of each one—which is boring—let’s start compiling a list that can be updated. Many more have been rumored and even confirmed, but I want to limit this list to what we’ve seen signage for. Westfield has said there are 125 slots, so that leaves 41 more. (That includes the seven businesses on the mall’s website but for which signage is not visible yet; those are at the end of this post.)
Also of note: Part of the upper level on the south side of the Oculus has opened. That’s it at top.

. . . and the elephant in the room is . . . Apple? Guards have said the big 2-level space in the northwest corner with black windows and no signage is where it will be, with their own elevator inside. No word yet from Apple or Westfield as far as I know. When will that be announced, d’ya think? The Apple WWDC keynote is this afternoon just in case . . .
Until there’s signage, it’s still just a rumor…. But I’d be shocked if Apple wasn’t there; it needs a presence downtown and there’s no likelier spot.
Just googled it and saw this:

My understanding is that Market Lane is not a restaurant, but a supermarket and will be in the lower level of 4 WTC. They presented at the FiDi Committee meeting of CB1 a few months back. Also, Apple is most assuredly opening. It was confirmed at another CB1 meeting several months ago, though Apple hasn’t publicly announced it.
I get confused about “upper” and “lower” in the complex, but here’s a photo showing that it’s right off the Church/Liberty entrance to 4WTC: https://tribecacitizen.wpengine.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Market-Lane.jpg. Next to it are K. Minamoto, Beer Table, Lobster Press, Choza Taqueria, and Nobletree. I’m pretty sure this is the same floor that leads to the balcony-level of the Oculus.
I need to get over there and take a look. Thanks Erik!
