First Look: Limelight Market Opening

The scene inside the new Limelight Market at last night’s preview party.

The much-anticipated Limelight Market makes its grand debut today, but last night it was open for a media preview party with all the glitz and glam of the space’s former nightclub days. Among the luxury clothing and beauty shops are a bevy of gourmet food stands.

Unapologetically rich hot chocolate and ganaches from MarieBelle, a Wonka-esque pick-n-mix candy spread called It’s Sugar, and cupcakes from the popular mobile vendor CupcakeStop— all attracted big crowds last night. It will be interesting to see how Grimaldi’s is going to fit in among its posh neighbors in this manicured spot when the pizzeria opens next month.

Check out the slideshow for photographs of the Limelight Market’s food and specialty vendors.
