Chelsea Market

Ethan and I went exploring in Chelsea with our friends Sarah and Chad on Saturday. It was a beautiful day for walking around (still a little chilly, but we'll take the sun any day). My favorite stop of the day was the Chelsea Market. I've heard about it in magazines and on tv but hadn't visited yet. It's like a fancy NYC version of the Pike Place Market - but it's all indoors with no arts and crafts. Developers turned the old Nabisco factory (Oreo's were invented here!) into a marketplace complete with bakeries, wine shops, fresh produce and seafood, cafes, restaurants, etc on the ground floor. I didn't see the flower section, but maybe it hasn't opened for spring yet. The upper floors are made up of various corporate offices (the Food Network, MLB.com, and NY1 - a local news channel). It's a cool building and I know we'll be going back sometime soon.
