Located at 71‑14 Austin Street, the new food hall officially opened to the public last week with a ribbon‑cutting ceremony and a performance by singer‑songwriter Katelyn Richards, according to officials.
"A new kind of home dining experience," reads a description of Wonder on its Instagram. "Enjoy menus from top chefs and iconic restaurants across the country, all in one place."

The concept gives customers access to dozens of curated menus from some of the nation’s most recognizable chefs and restaurants, including Bobby Flay, Michael Symon and Marc Murphy.
It also lets New Yorkers enjoy dishes from popular eateries beyond the city—such as Texas favorite Tejas Barbecue, Atlanta’s Fred’s Meat & Bread, and Detroit Brick Pizza Co.
Customers can order from any combination of chefs and restaurants in a single transaction from one location. All dishes are prepared to order at the Wonder storefront and delivered within about 30 minutes, according to the company.

Wonder is owned by Wonder Group, a consortium founded in 2018 by entrepreneur and former Walmart e‑commerce chief Marc Lore.
The company began as a network of food trucks in Westfield, New Jersey, with chefs cooking meals onboard. It later announced plans to move away from that model and focus on permanent storefronts.
Customers can place orders from the Forest Hills location here; it’s open daily from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 p.m.
