The town of Cedar Rapids experienced a devastating flood in 2008. The NewBo neighborhood was an agricultural and manufacturing hub in the late 1800s. There was once a meatpacking plant here, and the NewBo Market building was formerly a warehouse and metalworks for Iowa Manufacturing. Just across the bridge, the Czech Village is an important cultural center for the town.
Since the flood of 2008 and NewBo City Market's opening in 2012, this entrepreneurial incubator has launched countless small businesses.

It's a food-lovers paradise, offering a delicious selection of some of the most amazing food from Iowan chefs and cooks.
The selection of food here is diverse, to say the least.

The food at La Reyna is famously fabulous. In the mood for Greek? Try Zaytoon. There's a wood-fired pizza oven right inside the market and the folks who run it make divine and rustic pizzas. If you are looking for the ultimate healthy treat, try the juice bar; Get Fresh. Dessert? Stop by That One Cupcake Place, Nelson's Ice Cream, or Sweetopia.
Be sure to stroll around the market before you make a decision.
