NYC’s Jean-Georges Food Hall Is Scaling Back to Stem Cash Bleed

Along the piers of lower Manhattan’s Seaport district, the Tin Building by Jean-Georges is bleeding money.

Visitors to the food hall, which debuted in 2022, have an eye-popping array of choices, from fine-dining restaurants and bakery kiosks to shops teeming with fancy cheeses and artisan candies, all under the roof of a historic former fish market. But the crowds haven’t come — at least not in volumes to support the project’s nearly $200 million cost.
