Old Lisbon market cooks up food-to-media concept to go global

Chef Susana Felicidade cooks at Ribeira Market in Lisbon, Portugal, July 15, 2015.

In the past year, Lisbon's 19th-century riverside market has soared from dilapidated oblivion to a top attraction on a zesty blend of fine food, drinks, arts and hip shopping – a concept its owners now plan to replicate in London and New York.

Aside from serving as a gigantic window display for downtown renovation and the Portuguese capital's tourism boom, the two-storey Mercado da Ribeira also gives a physical dimension to the mostly-digital Time Out magazine, which owns the expanding project.
