Reply to comment by DfcukinLite in The new Lexington Market is so disappointing by sleaziep

There were multiple areas of standing tables around the old market, specially in the middle “arcade”/plaza area where they would have bands play on Friday and Saturday. There was also a large sitting area upstairs that overlooked the arcade area where you could eat, converse, and still hear the music.

The problem with the new market to me is that it’s now another “Food Hall” and no longer a true Lexington Market.

Exactly. I realize I have to keep in mind that the overwhelming majority of folks in this subreddit could care less about the old Lexington Market because they don't have a history with it. They don't want turkey wings, fried chicken, cheap breakfast choices etc. they want stuff that's way more expensive and trendy.
