New Jersey’s Newest Food Hall Will Satisfy All Your Culinary Cravings

New Jersey is big on mall culture, and what's one of the best things about a mall? The food court. Where else can you easily access so many delectable dining options? Of course, most of us don't head to the mall just for the food court. It's crowded, can occasionally be difficult to park, and sometimes leads to unplanned shopping sprees. Oh my goodness, what a steal!?!? The whole store is on sale!!! Whoops. I'm not saying I'm speaking from experience, but I am saying there's an all-food alternative...

District Kitchen at Harborside Atrium! In the heart of Jersey City's Exchange Place neighborhood, this fantastic new food hall is filled with local favorites.

It's sleek, spacious, modern, and an absolute delight. All of its eateries are outposts of local staples. They're big on community pride here.

The waterfront spot is just seconds from the ferry and light rail, for easy access to 13 very different dining experiences. With 264,000 residents and nearly 100,000 commuting into the city for work, people needed somewhere good to grab grub.

District Kitchen met that demand, with dining options for everyone. modcup serves up naturally processed coffees for that morning (or afternoon) energy boost.

There's Ani Ramen for Japanese favorites like ramen, bao buns, and donburi bowls. For amazing crab cakes and lobster rolls, check out Angry Archie's.

If you're craving crepes, head to The Belgian Plate, serving up made-to-order waffles and crepes, sandwiches, soups, and salads. Baonanas is another yummy option, serving banana-based pudding in flavors like French toast, matcha, mocha cookie, choconana, and more. Vegan options are available.

Canteen To Go is an outpost of Canteen Desi Dhaba, serving up outstanding Indian cuisine. Travel from India to the Mediterranean in seconds by stopping at Enfes, with their hand rolled and stuffed flatbread wraps.

Left Bank Burger has perfected the art of the burger, serving up handcrafted, creative concoctions with decadent toppings. Little Sushi Shop has you covered if you're in the mood for sushi rolls.

What's a New Jersey food hall without pizza? Pizza Vita has your fix. You'll find Naples-style wood-fired pizzas with a variety of toppings, ready in just 90 seconds. If you'd prefer Korean-style street food topped with kimchi, head to the Kimchi Grill.

For out-of-this-world vegan eats, stop by Salt + Seed. They've got sandwiches, salads, desserts, and other plant-based dishes. Last, but not least, you'll find heavenly Hawaiian-style poke bowls at Tidal Poke. You can even BYOB — build your own bowl.
