Mission
As a placemaking agency, Local Culture works to develop new or transform underperforming real estate projects by conceptualizing world-class food and beverage activations. Since 2015, we’ve been redefining the modern-day food hall by humanizing underutilized spaces –combining innovative food and beverage concepts with world-class spacial design.
Services
At Local Culture, we’ve worked on some of the largest and most complex multi-tenant food and beverage concepts in New York City. Each project is unique as the needs of each market and each stakeholder is different. In order to develop an engaging, functional, and most importantly profitable space, we believe a strategic approach to construction, curation, and leasing must be taken.
Partnerships
Our expertise lies in bringing together emerging and established culinary talent to provide innovative amenities for our communities and create additional revenue streams for our development partners.
Current Partners
Leasing
At Local Culture, we pride ourselves in helping emerging and experienced restauranteurs expand their businesses. Gone are the days of traditional food halls with large chains and we’re on a mission to help smaller businesses scale and give consumers what they’ve been asking for— a refreshing alternative.
Vendor Spotlights
Avocaderia at The Hugh
Francesco Brachetti & Alessandro Biggi are fostering comfort and well-being in the community through simple, thoughtful, seasonal ingredients. Their avocado-centered fast-casual lunch menu have won over NYC's wellness-community with multiple locations across Manhattan.
Katz’s at Dekalb
An institution since 1888, the iconic deli that once served as a place for the immigrant community of the Lower East Side to congregate has been touted in books, music, movies, and more. After over 100 years in business, Katz's first ever outpost opened in Brooklyn's Dekalb Market Hall—extending their community reach to a brand new borough.
Miznon at The Hugh
Miznon is one of 23 globally renowned restaurants from Chef Eyal Shani, a leading figure in the Israeli culinary scene. Shani first opened Miznon in Tel Aviv in 2011 as a modern take on Israeli street food. Today, the restaurant has global reach—extending to Paris, Vienna, Melbourne, Singapore, and now at The Hugh in New York.
