In addition to Shaver Hall, NYC will welcome a brand new libation station, if you will, in Queens: LIC Food Hall.
The massive new food hall will open in Star Tower condominium at 27-17 42nd Road. With a mission to promote Asian food and culture, a wide variety of vendors will offer everything from Hong Kong street food to Chinese delicacies.
