  • Grab a cappuccino when you first enter Le District. Also in the Cafe District: made to order waffles and crepes, macaroons and tarts and much more.

  • This area of Le District features a fromagerie, boulangerie, rotisserie, bouchierie and poissonnerie, as well as a gorgeous bar in the middle of the room. Guests can pick up cuts of meat, D'Artagnan chicken or fish to take home, or can have it cooked on site and delivered to them while they enjoy a glass of wine at the bar. Have a post-work drink, pick up a steak for dinner and then stop into the Garden District...

  • Specialty groceries are featured in this section of Le District, which is set to open within the next week or so. Fresh produce, prepared foods like Boeuf Bourguignan as well as a salad bar will be featured. The salad bar will morph into a chocolate mousse bar at 4 p.m. every day. YES.

French food lovers now have an Eataly-style marketplace to fulfill all their needs (and dreams).

It’s called Le District.

Located inside Brookfield Place in Lower Manhattan, it’s the newest addition to the mall cum food court cum gathering place for nearby office workers. There are palm trees in the indoor courtyard, and Tory Burch and Diane von Furstenburg stores.

Upstairs is Hudson Eats.

But Le District is a culinary world unto itself. It just opened today, but some areas are still slated to open in the coming days. Take a look around…
