"Chelsea Market is home to a wide array of shops and services. The building was once home to the National Biscuit Company (a.k.a. Nabisco) and you can find artifacts and artwork from its time as a baking facility. While the options of food are varied here, one of the reasons I like it is because of its variety of typography. Since it is also tourist location, you can also pick up traditional tourist items with the Chelsea Market logo on it." - Alisha Austin
"A long-standing, always-crowded market that opened in the late 1990s and continues to be a prominent destination." - Melissa McCart
"Muji’s first U.S. food market inside its Chelsea Market location serving onigiri, tamago egg sandwiches, curry bowls, dorayaki, and pastries, plus specialty drinks including a black sesame latte prepared by Muji’s robot barista Jarvis." - Emma Orlow
"Chelsea Market gets a bad reputation for being kind of touristy, but if you’re on the High Line, there’s at least a 50% chance you’re with a tourist, so just embrace it. There are multiple floors of good food here that will impress both out-of-towners (the pasta omakase at La Devozione) and native New Yorkers (Alf Bakery). You might have to deal with some people who don’t understand the rules of walking down a busy corridor, but it’s worth it." - bryan kim, carina finn koeppicus
"There’s a high concentration of good-to-great food at Chelsea Market, and knowing exactly where to find it in the multistory sprawl is a pro-level NYC skill. Want to impress your cousins who are visiting from Nebraska with Italian food after a jaunt through the Whitney? Book the Oval counter at La Devozione for pasta omakase. Running late to an after-work dinner party? Get a loaf of sourdough and some bonus pastries from Alf Bakery. You can also grab reliable tacos for lunch from Los Tacos No. 1, or nurse a hangover with the very good green juice at Manhattan Fruit Market. You might have to deal with some people who don’t understand the rules of walking down a busy corridor, but it’s worth it." - Carina Finn
