Description

Essentials about Chealsea Market in brief

For gourmets and those who like to shop for quality food and eat delicious food in a cool atmosphere, Chelsea Market is the place to be. Located on the border of Chelsea and Meatpacking District, the indoor market occupies an entire street block between 9th and 10th Avenues and 15th and 16th Streets. Right next to Chelsea Market passes the famous High Line, a park on a former freight train track.

Eating and drinking at Chealsea Market

If you’re heading to Chelsea Market, make sure you’re hungry, because the butchers, fishmongers, greengrocers, wine merchants and bakeries have just about everything a gourmet’s stomach could desire: hand-baked bread, fresh fish, excellent steaks, rare wines and a wide variety of specialties.

The history of Chealsea Market

The building once belonged to the National Biscuit Company (Nabisco), which invented the world-famous Oreo cookies here. At the end of the 1990s, the former cookie factory was converted into a market hall. By the way, since 2018 the owner of Chelsea Market is Google. The Internet giant also owns office space right next to the market.

Visiting Chealsea Market

Due to its roofing, a visit to Chelsea Market can also be planned very well in bad weather or in the cold months. If you prefer to stroll through the market hall in peace, it is better to come during the week. On weekends, it can get quite crowded at Chelsea Market.
