Walk into The Sundry, TableOne Hospitality’s buzzing food hall at UnCommons, and you’ll find many out-of-town culinary forces. SunLife and Urthh are brands that originated near the beach in Los Angeles. And, of course, there’s a line out the door for Salt & Straw ice cream. Those less concerned with wellness might be buying cookies and browsing jewelry during the Market in the Alley shopping pop-up at UnCommons.
You might see sweating visitors eating SunLife Organics gluten-free avocado toast and drinking Urthh Caffè iced tea after doing yoga outside. Visit the mixed-used UnCommons complex (where tenants include Morgan Stanley and DraftKings) in southwest Las Vegas on a 100-plus-degree day. But what’s happening now at new developments around the city is a whole new level. Lively, energetic, delicious off-Strip dining has existed in Las Vegas for years, with pioneering hot spots like Chinatown’s Aburiya Raku, Summerlin’s Honey Salt and the Arts District’s Esther’s Kitchen merging the ideas of neighborhood restaurant and destination restaurant.
