ampden’s “The Avenue” has seen its share of anticipation for new arrivals. The newest- The Food Market, a play on words with the “Hampden Food Market”, the name of the dusty, grocery/gambling parlor that once used the space at 1017 W 36th Street.

The restaurant, which hopes to be open by April, will be fronted by Chad Gauss, former executive chef to Mount Vernon’s City Cafe. To realize the transformation to a dining establishment that will serve “basically blue-collar food in a white-collar execution,” as Gauss puts it, he and his partner, Elan Kotz, have gutted the 3,000 square foot space top to bottom. Plans include a dining room to seat 90, a 12-seat bar and an open kitchen.
Construction began a month ago, with structural work now complete and HVAC underway. We’ll continue to update pics/video as work progresses.
