It had a good variety of shops and food stands. After wandering through for a bit I bought some bread from Amy's and goat cheese from a stand to eat for dinner on the High Line.

Love Chelsea market and was totally looking forward to visiting fat witch bakery again. Cant get enough of their brownies. My boyfriend enjoyed the beer stall. Had lunch at the aussie pie stall and then did high line park.

We were on a tour and only spent about 20 minutes in Chelsea Market. If we get back to NYC, we definitely plan to spend several hours and have a meal there.

We went to Chelsea Market before visiting the High Line for brunch, and ended up spending a few hours here. A huge range of food options, both to eat and buy. Great browsing if you love food and the retail stores are also interesting. The market is full of character and definitely worth a visit. Go hungry :)

Worth seeing, especially if you visit the high line while in the area. Spend some time people watching and enjoy a coffee and cake from one of the bakeries.

A really nice place with a lot of cute stores and restaurants/cafes. When in meatpacking district, this place is really a place to check out.

We went after about 5 years hiatus. Were very excited to see the market food is bought for the Food Network Star. We did not see any celebs but chatted with a security guard. He stated he saw them daily. Guess we missed them. Try to go between meal time. Not enough seating but you def want to go for... More

This isn't an indoor flea market. It's a wonderful collection of restaurants and niche stores in Chelsea. It's in the old NaBiCo Building. (Lots of fun history behind this - would recommend taking the City Rover tour to hear about it). Anyhow, Food Network and MLB.tv are filmed upstairs. The market has Jacque Torres chocolate, Amy's Bread, a kitchen supply... More

At meatpacking district, this modified cellar became a healthy food market, where you find fresh salads and fruits, natural sanduiches, all kind of cheeses, seafood, wines and diferent kinds of candies, mainly chocolates.

I was hoping Chelsea would be like a farmers market, but instead it is a bunch of expensive shops catering to dining and tourists.
