Essex Market

A Guide to NYC’s Food Halls Reopening for Outdoor Dining, Takeout, and Delivery

"Lower East Side megaproject Essex Crossing’s food hall, the Market Line, recently debuted an outdoor dining area at 81 Norfolk Street, at the corner of Delancey Street, and customers can get food from vendors like German smoked meats shop Schaller and Weber, NYC staple Veselka, seafood destination Essex Pearl and Tortilleria Nixtamal. Orders have to be placed on phones by scanning a QR code present on tables outside and waitstaff then bring over the food. Many of the vendors at the food hall are also doing a host of grocery deliveries through Mercato." - Erika Adams, Tanay Warerkar
