THE TIN BUILDING AIMING FOR AUGUST 4
The Tin Building, the reconstructed Fish Market building at the Seaport being reimagined as a food hall by Jean-Georges Vongerichten, will open on August 4 UPDATE: the PR firm for HH was incorrect — in fact it is opening with limited hours in August, soon to expand along with grand debut events taking place in late September. UPDATE: the PR firm for Howard Hughes said August was not happening August 4, according to a neighbor who had some inside intel. The Tin Building by Jean-Georges will be a 53,000-square foot marketplace with multiple restaurants and a central market offering locally sourced seafood, meats, cheese, fresh produce and specialty items.
