The first part of the incoming monster development Gotham West is nearly here. Gotham West Market is holding its opening party tonight. The event is fully sold out, but those who already secured tickets have the chance to try food and drinks from the various “eclectic” “artisanal” (of course) restaurants within the market, as well as meeting the chefs themselves.

The market hasn’t been terribly well received by everyone in the community. Initially, the store was planned to be a supermarket, but the president of the development group apparently decided the spot was too small for a supermarket, so instead we get Gotham West Market.

Anyway, with the opening party tonight it’s only a matter of time before the market is officially open. They’re being very careful not to announce an official date yet, so we’ll just have to wait and see.
