  • "The warm roast beef sandwich was great."

Cons:

Cons:

  • "I have to say accessibility for customers with wheelchair or with small children on stroller is terrible."
  • "The building from the outside was rather plain, once I got inside WOW."
  • "Like Hudson Yards, the Tin Building is weirdly disconnected from the soul of NYC. It’s missing the crazy mash-ups, fusion, contrasts and contradictions that make New York City great."
  • "This place is not for the claustrophobic."
  • "A lovely fantasy of a food market with a confusing layout and payment system."
  • "A missed opportunity to house a more curated offering of authentic New York gastronomic institutions under one roof."
  • "The downfall is gonna be the inexperienced, poorly trained service."

  • "The bread is comparable in price to Whole Foods but so much better in every way."
  • "So many different options and affordable - everything is absolutely Devine and thoughtful."

Cons:

  • "Never in my life has there ever been a charge that didn’t make sense, where your drink is your drink price (13-16$) the menu broke it up $28 for two PLUS $8 for twist and $8 for dirty making it 28 plus 16- almost $42 for martinis?"
  • "The prices are unfortunately a bit steep."
  • "Another high end super well designed adult food court with overpriced sit down mini restaurants."
  • "Everything is very trendy and shiny but kind of expensive."
  • "Tin building is only open 4 days a week. Coffee shop also closed even it appears to be open from outside."
  • "So beautiful and grand, but way too overpriced - even for NYC standards."
  • "Way overpriced for what it is, and definitely not value for money."
