RALEIGH, N.C. — After more than a year of delays, the Morgan Street Food Hall finally opened its doors on Monday.

The new, stylish food hall is a 22,000-square foot culinary incubator and market located at 411 W. Morgan St. in the Warehouse District. It houses 22 vendors.

Long communal picnic tables offer a space to eat with others, enforcing the idea that the food hall is a shared space for creating community. Public Wi-Fi will also be available, opening up the venue for visitors to sit and stay.

The venue also houses two bars - The Arbor, which includes indoor and outdoor patio space, and Auntie Betty's, a small gin and cocktail bar.
