As we noted on Nov. 30, coming soon signage is up for the food hall inside Zero Irving (formerly the Union Square Tech Training Center, 14 @ Irving and tech hub) at 124 E. 14th St.
Per previous reports, there are 13 vendors, including some familiar EV names — Wafles & Dinges and Bobwhite Counter — coming to this 10,000-square-foot space that includes an outdoor patio.
At least 25% of the food hall — via Urbanspace — is reserved for use by first-time entrepreneurs or start-up companies operating for less than four years.
Here's a look inside the space between Third Avenue and Fourth Avenue at Irving Place ...
The Urbandspace site lists an "expected opening" of December 2022.

Food Courts are about one step above fast food.
Wrong.
I am 1000% over these food courts. Fast casual needs to go. Fast.
I will never not misread "Zero Irving" as "Zero Living".
The first Urban Space food hall was sort of fun - initially.
But wow - they are sprouting up everywhere.
These places are just depressing - expensive food courts in dystopian spaces with affluent customers chomping down while low paid workers are turning out the food.
I’m glad you mentioned it because
I never noticed it’s actually Zero Irving! Seriously
Is there a more miserable place on the internet than the comments section of EV Grieve?
Anon 10:23 Well their are certainly miserable comments like yours. Why not elevate the discussion with civil discourse instead of spreading your misery?
This is a good thing actually. I keep reading articles about San Fransisco where over a significant majority of businesses downtown have shut down due to lack of road and foot traffic, which is indicative of transferring staff members remote, and the unfortunate aspect of homelessness and drug addiction. If no one is reporting to work, how do cafes and restaurants sustain themselves? It is a very sad situation in SF because their problems escalated more during the pandemic. There aren't many people walking about from the videos I've seen on Tik Tock and Insta. However, this opening here is bringing in new places to eat, and offering employment opportunities to many, even though it might not be ideal or high paying. That stretch of area as all know is quite busy with thousands of people walking by it daily. NYC is resuming somewhat of its normalcy. People are returning to work who need to have access to meals in a convenient way. We should all be so grateful to not be facing what SF is contending with at the current moment. Let's embrace change and welcome this new addition to our hood.
As someone who used to work in the hellscape that is midtown and who now works from home in the EV, I am happy to spend my lunch money on local businesses rather than corporate chains. I'm happy to bring more business to my block and support my commercial neighbors.
Because Misery is what this shit show is about!!!!!!!!!!
Trolls are in a defensive weeping-------This is a Mall!!!!!!!!! And I love malls in a particular context, but your concept is just a Mall with no context---shady jobs-working conditions---
And, called--part of the Name--- Zero- enough said!!! Overpriced-food--sitting with people you would never sit around with intentionally--its a job---- LOl!!!
Needs a Dallas BBQ!
