Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten and The Howard Hughes Corporation marked the official grand opening of the Tin Building by Jean-Georges at the Seaport.

The grand opening of the Tin Building by Jean-Georges marked the significance of this historic Seaport building reimagined as a sprawling marketplace and global culinary destination for all New Yorkers, locals and visitors alike. An important part of New York City’s history, the Seaport is an iconic waterfront destination and a community anchor for Lower Manhattan. The reopening also marks a major milestone in the revitalization of the Seaport and Lower Manhattan following the 10-year anniversary of Hurricane Sandy. The new Tin Building honors the rich history of the Seaport and Jean-Georges' global influences, and features two levels of one-of-a-kind restaurants, bars, and retail shops, including the Central Market at the heart of the building—which offers an array of locally sourced seafood, meats, cheeses, fresh produce and specialty items, all personally curated by Chef Jean-Georges. 

Guests included Brooke Shields, Martha Stewart, Vanessa Williams, Laura Kim, Questlove, Babyface, Dorinda Medley, Luann de Lesseps, Carol Radziwill, Carla Hall, Sophia Sumner, Melba Wilson, Katya Tolstova, Hunt Slonem, Fern Mallis, Gillian Miniter, Nicole Miller, Carol Alt, Anne Burrell, Grace DeNiro, Famke Janssen, Rosanna Scotto, Boomer Esiason, Elvis Duran, Geoffrey Zakarian, Julia Haart and Ubah Hassan.
