Blacksmiths, Platinum Amala Set to Join Lexington Market

Two local, Black-owned spots are the latest new vendors set to open in the new Lexington Market, the city-owned market announced Tuesday.

Blacksmiths, owned by local chef Heather Smith, is known for southern brunch pop-ups across the city. Smith’s stall at Lexington Market will be the vendor’s first brick and mortar location. The stall will dish out everything from quick breakfast sandwiches to weekend brunch spreads with brioche french toast and slow cooked greens and grits.

“I’m from Baltimore, raised here, and remember going to the market with my mom and dad for lunch after shopping in the city. Our stall will have a 10-seat bar and lots of seating around, and we’ll have options for both quick weekday breakfast needs and lazy weekend brunches,” Smith said in a statement.
