2. Amsterdam-inspired food hall
Dam (pronounced “dahm”) Park, a 6,000-square-foot public market, is launching in San Diego, with several food and drink concepts inside. The space will include Le Parfait Paris, a French bakery, as well as Buona Forchetta (Italian) and Mama Made Thai. Da Boot Bar, with a bar made from the hull of a boat, will serve cocktails, wine and beer. On the second story, Daarboven will feature a gin-heavy cocktail menu as well as live music and pop-up food sellers. It’s expected there will be 200 food halls in the U.S. by 2020, more than twice the current number, according to a new report from Phillips Edison & Company.
