 The days of sitting down at a table and ordering from a waiter or waitress to eat are long gone.

From food trucks to food festivals, there are dozens of new ways to enjoy your favorite eats without trying to score a hard-to-get dinner reservation. And the hottest new trend in gastronomy? Food halls.

For a long time, these giant spaces filled with multiple food and drink vendors selling everything from charcuterie to viral desserts were pretty much found exclusively in the biggest, trendiest cities across the US. However, food halls, markets, and fancy food courts are opening up all over the place now, with emphasis on local vendors, fresh ingredients, and sometimes even with their very own celebrity chefs.  

We’ve rounded up 27 of the best food halls around the country to add to your travel bucket list, from Chelsea Market in New York to Market House in Nashville, along with must-eat dining suggestions for each.
