Fort Lauderdale’s restaurant scene keeps on evolving, even inside the city’s only food hall, which just reshuffled its lineup of vendors as part of a major overhaul.
The 40,000-square-foot complex known as Sistrunk Marketplace has dropped the “brewery” from its name and added video games, karaoke and eight new eateries, all designed to create what owner Steven D’Apuzzo calls a “more experience-driven destination.”
An official launch party, planned for sometime this December, will introduce Sistrunk Marketplace’s new class of vendors and entertainment, D’Apuzzo told the South Florida Sun Sentinel.
Why this massive change now? Well, the post-pandemic years haven’t been especially kind to South Florida food halls, D’Apuzzo said, and perhaps worse, neighboring Flagler Village hasn’t been growing fast enough.
