Outdoor Food Hall Opens in Miami

While a 25,000 sq ft, multi-million dollar food hall recently opened after over a year in the making just blocks away, a similar concept had already activated a blighted lot and contributed to small business growth in the area for more than 8 months by embracing the 'lighter, quicker, cheaper' mantra.

Mortar & Pistil offers a high-end cocktail bar that mixes libations with a peculiar dose of skill acquisition, fashioning itself as a workspace and skills training entertainment venue In addition to on-site mixologists, Mortar & Pill offers a full range of skill building classes that teach everything from seed saving to picking locks (skills every bourbon-loving survivalist must master).

Mr Bings is a desert concept called “Ice Cream with a Fork”. This unique confection, introduced to the US via Taiwan, is a hybrid of traditional ice-cream and shaved-ice. Cylindrical blocks of dairy are frozen and then shaved down into paper thin ribbons set into a bowl, then topped with a variety of fresh toppings and drizzles.
