MGM National Harbor Food Market

MMD is Interior Designer for the “National Market” food hall at the new MGM Resorts International’s National Harbor venue. Among a full slate of dining options, the National Market is part of MGM’s $1.3 billion resort and casino project in Prince George’s County.

The Market’s Mexican venue, Amos Los Tacos, transports visitors to the Southwest, with its tangy house-made salsas; special water-jet cut tile in the space matches a mosaic inspired by flowers found in Mexico. S’cream, an old-fashioned ice cream shoppe, offers creamy house-made ice creams and sends customers back to the 1950s with a retro color palette and creative 3D subway tile. Bahn Mi Vietnamese Kitchen features fresh green papaya and Thai basil on Vietnamese sandwiches, served under specially-designed lighting that resembles straw accents one might find in a South East Asian market. At the seafood venue, all materials look weathered, as if they have been exposed to sea air; ordering from the fresh fish selections will feel like being at a dockside market.
