MŎKBAR
M
ŏkbar, a ramen shop open from 11am to 11pm daily in Chelsea Market, combines traditional Korean soups with
fresh Japanese ramen noodles for a unique noodle experience. In Asia, eating noodles on-the-go is an everyday lifestyle. Mŏkbar will bring that cultural experience to New York City by selling ramen for take-out. Customers will enjoy comforting noodles on-the-go while browsing Chelsea Market and enjoying the city—in the office, or back at home. Mŏkbar also offers a sit-down dining experience for lunch and dinner where guests can watch the chefs prepare their meal in front of them. Mŏkbar is excited to offer a special seasonal menu and small Korean "anju" plates during the dinner hours as well. Each dish has its own unique story but the chef, Esther Choi's artisanal kimchi (fermented Korean pickles) holds a special place in her heart. Kimchi is at the center of every Korean meal and has amazing health benefits. It's loaded with vitamins A, B and C, as well as healthy bacteria from the fermentation process, and is incorporated into each ramen dish and small plate on Mŏkbar’s menu. Mŏkbar customers can consume seasonal kimchi with their meal, as well as purchase kimchi to enjoy at home. Learn more at mokbar.com.

THE LOBSTER PLACE
A
lot's been going on since The Lobster Place completed its expansion and opened its sister restaurant, Cull & Pistol, last
year. CEO Ian MacGregor says, "we've steadily expanded our product line, overhauled our grab-and-go menu with lots of new salad and sandwich options, and started butchering whole tunas." MacGregor is especially excited about re-branding The Lobster Place's quick-service eatery (formerly known as 'The Shack') as 'C&P Galley'. He says, "We wanted to reinforce the relationship between The Lobster Place and Cull & Pistol, the restaurant it inspired." This August 4-29 is great time to try Cull & Pistol. They'll be featuring a $19.74 (the year The Lobster Place opened) special on 1.5lb lobsters. While you're there, be sure to check out C&P's new dessert and coffee options, as well as NYC's best-curated selection of rum. 2014 marks the 40th anniversary for The Lobster Place. They're
celebrating all year long with specials and events, including Lobster Stock, an off-site event in the Catskills on August 8 featuring live music and an enormous clambake.

TRENDING Y
ou know how you've been doing something for years, and then suddenly you read about it in The New York Times and
discover that your every-day awesomeness is now a national trend? That's how we felt when read Florence Fabricant's piece, "So Much Food, It Fills a Hall" (NYT, May 13, 2014). Indoor food halls are nothing new, of course, but they used to be something of a rarity outside of Europe. Now it seems no American city is complete without one. From developing food halls like Ponce City Market in Atlanta and Market Hall in Misson Bay to established marketplaces like Chelsea Market and Faneuil Hall, indoor food halls are suddenly all the rage. "I love the fact that indoor food halls are 'trending'," says Michael Ginsberg, Chelsea Market’s Mayor Laureate and Events Director. "Chelsea Market was founded on the principle that food creates community. When Irwin Cohen developed Chelsea Market back in the early '90's, he nurtured a collective of local food manufacturers and artisans, and—in doing so—he enabled an authentic food destination to grow organically. There's no better way to bring people together than to offer them amazing food in a local environment." Visit chelseamarket.com to learn more about the Chelsea Market Cookbook, which is packed full of information about Chelsea Market's evolution as a food hall.
