Hall On Mag Food Hall Opening This Fall In New Orleans

New Orleans is getting a new food hall and event space on the xxx neighborhood. Hall on Mag is poised to open its doors in fall 2022, according to a news release.

The Hall on Mag is the highly anticipated establishment from entrepreneur Jamal Wilson, who also ran food halls in Orlando (now closed) and Tampa. The structure, spread out over 8,800 square feet, will feature several food stalls for eateries as well as a cocktail bar called “The Library.” There will also be a large, central cocktail bar and pop-up champagne bar.

Why New Orleans? You may ask. Here’s what Wilson said in a written statement. “The culinary scene in New Orleans is unmatched – it perfectly encapsulates the melting pot of cultures and the vibrancy of the city.”

“As someone that thrives off collaboration, I’m thrilled to bring The Hall experience to New Orleans to help showcase the best culinary talent the city has to offer through an elevated hospitality experience.”
