The century-old vaulted market under the Queensboro Bridge has reopened as a Trader Joe’s.

The Bridgemarket, located inside the base of the bridge connecting Manhattan and Queens, was home to a Food Emporium for 16 years until it closed in 2015. The space was completed in 1909 after architect Rafael Guastavino, known for his contributions to landmarks including Grand Central Terminal, Ellis Island and the Bronx Zoo, was tapped for the project.
