Visit Chelsea Market in Manhattan

As Chelsea Market is a covered market, it differs from most other markets in New York. The building dates back to 1890 and was originally a biscuit factory. It is, in fact, the place where the famous Oreo cookies were invented. The factory no longer exists, but the building still has an industrial feel.

What can you find at Chelsea Market?

As you stroll through the market’s hallways, you’ll come across all sorts of things. There are various bakeries and doughnut shops, as well as a seafood hall, a chocolate shop, a bookshop and a vintage shop, amongst other things.

Fishs Eddy, the popular kitchenware shop, also has a branch here, as does the busy Mexican restaurant Los Tacos No. 1.

Eric’s Tip: “I love visiting Chelsea Market, but it can get quite busy around lunchtime. Are you flexible? If so, try going a bit earlier or later to avoid the worst of the crowds. There are spacious, clean toilets on the lower level, making this a handy spot for a toilet break.”
