METTRA Food Hall Reopens in Long Island City, Queens

METTRA, the food hall at 28-17 Jackson Ave. in Long Island City, reopened Oct. 30 under new management after operating as JACX&CO. The hall brings together close to a dozen dining concepts, an upstairs hand-roll bar and a central cocktail bar in the Court Square area. Its pitch is broad choice at a range of price points, with nearly all dishes listed below $20. According to Newsday, the refreshed lineup leans heavily into Asian cuisine, pairing Japanese, Thai and Chinese specialties with fried chicken, soft serve and cocktails. The food hall sits at 28-17 Jackson Ave. and is open daily from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. Newsday reports that nearly every dish on the menu runs under $20, a notable pitch in a neighborhood where food hall economics can get pricey fast. A Few Ways to Eat at METTRA Siam Thai Express serves noodles, curries, rice dishes and iced tea. Newsday lists Pad Thai at $15 and Thai iced tea at $6.
