The 18,000-square-foot food hall will open May 9 at 8 a.m. with 17 eateries, a demo kitchen, and three bars.

Curated by Time Out's editorial team, the lineup includes venerable chef Norman Van Aken, who will double down on the market with two new concepts, including one that celebrates the chef's love affair with the Florida Keys.
Other notable chefs represented include Jeremy Ford, Antonio Bachour, Giorgio Rapicavoli, and Suzy Batlle of Azucar.

Formerly the opening chef de cuisine at Norman Van Aken’s Three in Wynwood, Massens will perform a three-month residency at Time Out Market, showcasing dishes from his upcoming restaurant, Antilia.
