and shops.

Nani’s Piri Piri Chicken from Chef Meherwan Irani, JJ’s Flower Shop’s new space and Vietnamese restaurant VIÊTVANA all opened in December.

Also newly opened is LaRayia’s Bodega, which offers a grab-n-go takeaway counter vegan fare including organic fruits and vegetables, teas, juices and more. This is the first location to open outside of its base in Los Angeles.

Coming later this year is Umbrella Bar, a food kiosk inspired by Korean night markets from Poke Burri’s co-founder Seven Chan, and Spicewalla, the first-ever brick and mortar location for Meherwan’s acclaimed spice brand.

The expanded wing at the Old Fourth Ward shopping and dining destination adds over 5,000 square feet of space to the Central Food Hall with communal seating throughout.
