Tin Building Extends Hours for Dinner

In addition to feeding the bustling Lower Manhattanites on their lunch hours, the Tin Building is now serving the after-work crowd. Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s latest venture — a palatial 53,000-square-foot space at which six amazing restaurants now reside — had its soft opening in late August with a limited operation. But now the 96 South Street destination has expanded hours for breakfast, lunch and dinner from Thursday to Sunday.  

Hours for dining have expanded to the following: 

• Thursday 12 p.m. to 9 p.m. 
• Friday 12 p.m. to 9 p.m. 
• Saturday 12 p.m. to 9 p.m. 
• Sunday 12 p.m. to 5 p.m.

Breakfast begins at 10am at T.Cafe, Double Yolk and Bakery. Restaurants will seat diners until 8:30 p.m. from Thursday to Saturday; on Sunday, last seating is at 4:30 p.m.

The much-anticipated culinary destination opened in August and offers a slew of vendors and diverse restaurants that give foodies and casual diners a deep dive into high cuisine. The location itself is worth a visit — the building was once home to the Fulton Street Fish Market, which handled fresh food for the whole city, but was beset by a huge fire in 1995 and fell into disrepair before its renovation in recent years.
