Last night's "Meet the Market" event at Krog Street Market offered guests a sneak peek of many of the restaurants and shops set to open in the coming weeks and months.

There was a palpable sense of anticipation among the crowd, who enjoyed drinks and bites, and the chefs and owners, who had worked so hard to bring their concepts to this food hall that's helping to define the new world of Atlanta dining.

Here are some glimpses of the coming attractions:
