Chelsea Market, NYC

75 9th Avenue, New York, New York

Description

Chelsea Market is a multi-purpose complex, in the Chelsea neighbourhood of Manhattan, principally known for its food hall. There, visitors can find a wide range of produces and restaurants, from fishmongers and butchers to tacos, Italian cold cuts, and coffee shops. Trivia: this is where the Oreo cookie was invented by Nabisco

Access & Transport

The market is in the meatpacking district / Chelsea, between 15th and 16th streets, immediately south of 10th avenue (there is a connecting pedestrian bridge) By bus, take the M11 bus down Ninth Avenue and get out between 15th and 16th Streets. The closest underground station is '14 St / 8 Av' (A, C, E, L), just 300m away.

Instructions & Recommendations

We suggest combining this activity with a walk along the High Line, and a visit of Little Island, Greenwich Village and for those with cultural inclinations, the Whitney Museum of American Art is a 5mins' walk away.

Meta review

Regularly featured on travel magazine and blogs, the reviews are mostly, but not only, positive. The main draw is the variety of things to eat and buy, and the ability for a group to select different cuisines and yet sit together - which prompts many reviewers to qualify it of overpriced fancy food-court. Tip: try to avoid peak lunch hour as it gets very crowded then.

Environmental & Social

No environmental / sourcing data and emphasis doesn't seem to be on small producers

Conclusion

A good place to check out and browse through when in the area but we would not suggest a significant detour for the sake of eating there as you can find the same type of fares scattered throughout the city. Can be good for families / groups who really do not fancy eating the same thing on the day
