Chelsea Market is an exciting place to go. We visited and spent several hours just walking and looking around and having fun! There many shops of all descriptions, from meat shops, to grocery shops, fresh produce, and the all important "tourist" type of shops! And of course there are food shops, restaurants and bars! We walked the High Line and at the end of it walked straight into Chelsea Market. Not to be missed on any visit to the city!

I love this market - there are a million food options. Asian, tahini soft serve, sweet like fudge, italian, burgers...I could keep going. Everything is high quality and I think the prices are quite reasonable given the location. They also have some fun clothing and grocery shopping if you want to bring something home. I think this is a must do if vacationing in NYC.

Nice historic building, worth a visit by tourists, as an add on to taking a walk along the High Line. Good option for Brekky or lunch. Easily accessible via the subway and a very short walk to the High Line. The oyster bar had a good selection of seafood, and we went the oyster shooters. Very good, particularly the Tequila based one. A nice pick me up before the long walk ahead.

This former Nabisco factory complex invented and produced the famed Oreo cookie . The old building was gutted out in the 90s and transformed into a market that is alive and well. It can get crowded quickly so try to go on the off hours when they open in the morning or after lunch.

Definitely worth a stop off from the Whitney Museum or the High Line (High Line actually passes it, you can get off right there). I went around the holidays, it was a little too crowded and not enough places to sit if you did want to get something to eat, but….lots of yummy looking food choices, and plenty of people had found a perch somewhere to enjoy a quick meal. I filled a basket with utterly unnecessary German Xmas goodies (I’m a sucker for soft gingerbread) at one market, then made my way through the crowd to stare at Curry Wurst from a crew I recognized as having THE BEST brats—I didn;t have anything, but a sweet Australian mom there said they;d just eaten from there and loved it (think: brats with onion/sourkrout, on good bread, with perfect potato salad…). I asked their little boy if he’d liked it, and he gave me a big, catsup speckled smile, as well as a jaunty thumbs up. So you know it;s good. :)

Chelsea Market is a foodie mecca, not far from the Whitney Museum. The number of options here is overwhelming. One of our personal favorites is the halva/tahini spot Seed + Mill, which offers soft service ice cream with tahini and halva. The market is usually quite crowded and offers limited seating, so keep that in mind if you are deciding to bring a group here.

Very busy but fab place... we went twice !! Once of the best places to visit in New York wish I could go every Sat and mooch around then get something to eat .. a happy place !!

We popped in here for a warm up after a wander around the area in the freezing cold. There are many shops and stalls selling a variety of items. We bought some chocolate bars from A Taste of Economy Candy which we cannot get in the UK and they were all yummy. The market is like an industrial warehouse and is very well done and great to wander around.

We stopped in for a hot drink after walking on the high line. It was as quite busy with people eating lunch but we found a pastry cafe and it was quiet. The tea was great and we were in our way. We did check out the maker space before proceeding. Very nice vibe.

The original factory building where the Oreo was born. Now home to hip boutiques etc, cafes, restaurants and take-outs. We went with a friend, a NY resident who says that the place is always crowded. Getting a seat can can be an issue. Interesting and pleased that we went.
