Vetted NYC Vendors Under One DUMBO Roof

Browse a curated lineup of Brooklyn and Manhattan food vendors, then carry your tray to a rooftop over the East River.


🍴 Grazing the hall

The market fills a brick hall inside Empire Stores, where editors from Time Out gather a curated roster of Brooklyn and Manhattan kitchens under one roof. You order at individual stalls, from smash burgers to dumplings to soft serve, then find a communal table or head upstairs. The rooftop opens onto the East River, with the Brooklyn Bridge and the Manhattan skyline filling the frame. Bars anchor each floor, and the crowd shifts from midday stroller traffic to a slower evening pour. Weekends move quickly, and a rooftop table rewards an early arrival.
