Time Out Planning to Bring Lisbon Market Model to New York

Mercado da Ribeira is a hit.

The layout at Mercado da Ribeira in Lisbon is airy, communal and bustling. It’s also a dynamic example of how one print-to-digital magazine brand has found a creative new way to operate.

In 2011, Time Out, headquartered in London, was granted a 20-year-license to renovate and manage a large portion of the historic market. Four years later, foot traffic at the locale has greatly exceeded the magazine’s expectations. From a report by Reuters senior correspondent Andrei Khalip:
