Chelsea Market

Chelsea Market is amazing, another indicator NYC is "back" and alive now.  The market interior has a wonderful  industrial design with countless unique and interesting details for picture taking, and there are so many options for great food and treats.  There is plenty of seating inside, and now well-designed, attractive outside seating areas as well.

Shopping, getting coffee, food or treats from the many stores in Chelsea market, before or after a walk along the nearby Highline (entrance steps away), make for a fantastic  morning or afternoon outing for locals or tourists- families, friends or dates.

On our visit this week, we had a great time at the nearby Artechouse exhibit, then had an amazing lunch and dessert at Chelsea Market (an incredible burger and beef brisket from Dicksons).  After that we walked off our lunch and took countless photos taking a walk on the Highline.  It was a a perfect afternoon.

(We were there on a weekday afternoon, and it was not crowded.)

Definitely recommend visiting Chelsea Market and the Highline, and we look forward to trying more of the eateries; I have heard and read great reviews about a number of them.

There is no waterfountain in this whole place. Bathrooms and plenty of places to buy bottled water, but no waterfountain.

Bad form.

Formerly where Nabisco invented and produced its Oreo cookies, this gigantic warehouse structure is now a multi-purpose site with a large, winding food and shopping hall in its lower levels. Meanwhile, its upper levels once hosted Food Network studios; these days, they're increasingly occupied by new owner Google.

Most folks will acquaint themselves with the public retail areas. They offer a diverse set of eateries and a slightly less exemplary set of boutiques, although ones like, say, the Pearl River Mart are safe spaces for non-Asians to discover Asian and Asian-American items without the discomfort of a boisterously unfamiliar setting where English is not the norm. As you explore the interior corridors, you'll notice exhibits, small event spaces, plus interesting architectural features that hint at the building's past uses.

Definitely a venue worth exploring for locals and tourists alike, since there should be something for everyone here.

Enjoyed the Chelsea Market very much with their variety of food cuisines. I didn't know what to choose because they all sounded so good. It's a great location to try different foods and take a bunch of photos or to use the restroom.

Wow. I had t been here in so long! What a difference! There are so many stores and even I. the halls there are exhibits to see! ai definitely have to come back because I ran out of time! I love the vibe of the place! It has so many little stores, restaurants, hi wine stores and more! Something for everyone! There was a great baseball exhibit while we were there- I love the brick as well. Great signage and lots of hand sanitizer around as well!

This place is absolutely AMAZING! My husband and I make it a point to visit markets like this is every city we visit. I have been to NY so many times and did not make it here until my last trip.

Chelsea Market has literally everything. There are fresh groceries, there are smoothies, bubble tea, a hot sauce bar, a donut shop, literally the best tacos in the entire city, a bookstore, a boutique filled with the cutest gifts and souvenirs, a high end clothing store, several bars, a chocolatier, fresh seafood joints, hand pulled noodles, eco-friendly coffee fill ups, and endless places we didn't even visit.

My Must do at Chelsea Market:

-Doughnuttery- hot fresh prepared little doughnuts with a crazy selection of powders/sugars/glazes. Go with the PBJ and the lemon options, no questions.
-Los Tacos No.1- the line here will be long. You will wait a long time. You will not have regrets. My husband says hands down, best tacos he has ever had. The tortillas are hand pressed. The meat is fresh and cut off a giant tornado right there. Top it with salsas, or don't. your choice, neither is wrong.
-Fat Witch Bakery- get All.the.brownies.
-Chelsea Market Baskets
-Posman Books

We did not get to experience Artechouse while we were here, but we definitely will on our next trip.

The concourse is open 8am-9pm daily, there are several seating options both indoors and outdoors, and as a special bonus- the highline is just outside for a nice little picnic overlooking Chelsea.

Fabulous reuse of old industrial space on the Hudson River

Some fun eclectic shops as well as a great variety of restaurant options make this a great place to check out! Accessible off the high line as well

Clean public restrooms on lower level!

I came across the Chelsea Market while walking towards Little Island. It is also located next to the Starbucks reserve!

I can say my experience at the Chelsea market was wonderful. I love the unique space for the shops and restaurants. I would describe it as a modern industrial feel to the place. There is AC inside the building so it's a perfect opportunity to get out of the NY heat!!

I'm sorry.  I wasn't impressed. We just finished walking the High Line and popping over to Little Island today.

I noticed a sign Chelsea Market.  It was on my list. Let's go.

So hubby & I headed over. When we figured out how to enter the Market, we looked around.  Is that all?

Maybe because of the pandemic which the country is attempting to get back to normal.

It was lunch time. Hubby wasn't hungry. We noticed bread place. Carbo up!!

We bought a French baguette and the last bagel with cream cheese from Amy's Bread.

Took it outside and sat in the common outdoor dining area.  That was the best part. Ate our carbs and people watched.

Chelsea Market is one of those NYC staples that you have to check out when visiting.  It is a place loaded with all sorts of good food.  They have restaurants of all kinds here with every cuisine that you can imagine.  You can get everything from dan dan noodles to tacos to chocolates. You can get lost in here with how much good stuff it has.

Los Tacos is in there which is a must visit. They also have places where you can sit down and have a proper meal. I can't remember all the places but they are all pretty good. Come check this market out. You won't be disappointed!
