Chelsea Piers and Market

Those who live in and around the Chelsea neighborhood have the good fortune of being close to Chelsea Market. This sprawling space houses a food hall, shopping mall, office building and television production facility inside what was once the National Biscuit Company complex (where Saltines and the Oreo cookie were produced). The Food Network is located here, and some of its more famous shows are filmed at a studio inside the building (no public tours or tickets for tapings are currently on offer). The market fills an entire City block, bordered by West 15th Street, West 16th Street, Ninth Avenue and Tenth Avenue. Shoppers get a sense of the former factory’s feel from the original floors and winding, exposed-brick walls still in place. Destinations include bakeries like the famous Sarabeth’s, Eleni’s and Fat Witch; restaurants casual and fancy; places to buy gifts (such as the charming Chelsea Market Baskets); and spots for fresh meats, produce and cheese.
