ST. LOUIS (KMOX) - The Food Hall at City Foundry in Midtown is now open, featuring 11 restaurants/food vendors.

Transformed from the long-abandoned century-old Federal-Mogul Manufacturing Foundry into a food and entertainment complex, the Food Hall pays homage to its industrial roots while celebrating the future of St. Louis' hospitality community.

From a breakfast restaurant open early to a Gerard Craft bar open late and everything in between from chicken waffles to Afro-Caribbean, the Food Hall's creators promise something for everyone. Located at Forest Park Parkway and Vandeventer, across from IKEA.

And there's free parking.

Check out some photos of opening day:
