Chelsea Market
An indoor food market in a former Oreo cookie factory, packed with lobster shops, taquerias, and dessert stalls, right next to the High Line park.
The building that houses Chelsea Market was once the Nabisco biscuit factory, where Oreo cookies were born in 1912. It keeps its red brick, iron pipes, and old industrial details, and has been transformed into a long indoor food hall with lobster shops, Mexican tacos, ramen, bakeries, dessert shops, and specialty boutiques, ideal for grazing as you walk. Upstairs is Google's New York office. Entry to the market is free, and the High Line entrance is right next door, so you can plan a half-day route: High Line, Chelsea Market, Whitney Museum. Subway: A/C/E/L to 14 St/8 Av.
Opening hours
Approx. 07:00–22:00 (earlier closing on Sundays)
