Chelsea Market – The Lowdown

Located in the heart of the Meatpacking District, Chelsea Market is home to more than 35 vendors peddling a mix of gourmet snacks, fresh produce, sweets and wine. The former home of the National Biscuit Company, the building was restored in line with the industrial aesthetic of the area’s historic twentieth-century slaughterhouses and packing plants, and attracts more than six-million visitors each year. For a unique gift that won’t break the bank, checkout the craft on offer at Artists & Fleas, or drop by the rotating pop-up retail store, which often boasts a variety of jewelry, discount designer wares and seasonal accessories. Hustle your way through the crowds to grab a selfie by the market’s iconic fountain, which was created from drill bit castoffs and exposed pipe from the former Nabisco factory.
