An Asian-Inspired Cyberpunk Food Hall & Beer Garden Is Coming To Queens
New York City will get a taste of Asia's nightlife and culinary scene thanks to Tangram's new food hall and beer garden expected to open this summer!
An exciting new 24,000-square-foot Food Hall and Hoi Polloi are coming to Queens’ Tangram. The mixed-use development spans 1.2 million square feet in the heart of Flushing, Queens, bringing the best in retail, dining, and entertainment to one space.
The food hall has been in the works for over seven years and promises to elicit the same energy and atmosphere as the open-air markets found in Singapore, Hong Kong, Beijing, and Taipei.
Thanks to the partnership between BHDM Design Principal Dan Mazzarini and F&T Group, visitors will be able to experience the “authenticity and diversity of Asian culture and cuisine” at this immersive environment.
Though Tangram is an enormous, multi-purpose space, visitors will clearly feel they have arrived at a new destination with the food hall’s custom stalactite ceiling and eye-catching interior.
The design, best described as “Organic Industrial meets Cyber Punk,” is made from materials such as concrete, cedar, steel, and ceramic. During the day, these elements will catch the natural light coming in from the windows, and at night they’ll illuminate by bright neon ceiling signs, gobo textures, and kinetic lights.
The food hall will feature a wide array of delicious vendors including Da Wei Mei Shi, Na Tart, Cuncheese, and Qing Shu.
At the back of the dining destination visitors will stumble upon Hoi Polloi, the neighborhood’s first beer garden. The phrase originally stems from the Greek definition for “the people.” The garden will front as general seating for the food hall by day, and transform into a futuristic, cyberpunk hotspot by night.
Hoi Polloi will feature multiple bars and serve 24 locally-focused beers on tap. Guests can check out live entertainment, a unique gaming alcove, and three private event spaces. Stay for awhile and enjoy the neon LED lights, disco ball, and colorful graphics.
Once you locate the main feature wall that resembles a lava lamp (it can be seen from the street so it won’t be hard to find), you’ll be lead to an expansive 40-person terrace. Guests are welcome to sit outside and sip on cocktails while they admire the city below them.
