Have to say, the options look pretty kick arse.

"The next chapter in the Pythian Temple's long history begins on May 31, when the Pythian Market food hall will open. The market's 14 vendors include 1,000 Figs, Central City BBQ, 14 Parishes and La Cocinita (see below for the a complete list).

The building at 234 Loyola Ave. was constructed in 1908 by the Grand Lodge Colored Knights of Pythias, an African-American fraternal organization. The building was a center of black life in New Orleans. It even had a rooftop theater where Louis Armstrong played. The building later became an office of Higgins Industries, which manufactured the landing crafts for the D-Day invasion.

The 11,000-square-foot Pythian Market, part of a mixed-use development, features a mural by Brandan Odums of husband and wife, civil rights leaders A.P. Tureaud and Lucille Dejoie, who met on the building's rooftop theater in the 1920s.

The full list of Pythian Market vendors:"

14 Parishes: an offshoot of Central City's Jamaican restaurant
Bar 1908: "fast" craft cocktails, local beers and frozen drinks (Note: all the vendors can offer alcohol as well)
Central City BBQ: award-winning barbecue joint in Central City
La Cocinita: a long-running food truck with Latin American cuisine
Cru: raw and cooked seafood paired with wine and cocktails
Eat Well: a Canal Street convenience store with excellent Vietnamese food
Fete au Fete: a food truck and also an original vendor at the St. Roch Market
Frencheeze: a food-truck that specializes in gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches
Kai's: Hawaiian-style poké bowls
Little Fig: grab-and-go Mediterranean dishes from 1,000 Figs
Meribo Pizza: the wood-fired pizzeria on the North Shore expands to the south shore
Poulet: rotisserie chicken and sustainable cuisine
Roustabout: coffee and tea
Squeeze: juices and smoothies

SHITSHOW this day:

The Pythian Market will have preview days, with vendors offering 50 percent discounts, on Friday, May 25 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m and 5 to 7 p.m. and Saturday, May 26 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m

Strong likelihood I will be working at City Hall soon so I imagine I'l be trying it out.

Right now I'm by the new food hall on Magazine Warehouse Dist and I like it. Auction Market?

Good options but those alone aren't getting me to go to that specific part of the CBD.

This would have been super convenient when I worked in the CBD. The options look pretty awesome, the CBD definitely needs more lunch options.
