NYC Food Markets for Every Type of Foodie 🫶

No matter where in NYC you are, you’ll pass by restaurant after restaurant. But what I absolutely love are the different Food Market options that are around. Seasonal or not, get ready to stuff your face!

- Essex Market: located in LES and is known for their indoor dining as you’ll have the freshest local produce in town Essex Market Lower East Side

- Chelsea Market: located all the way on the West side of town with not only a variety of food vendors, but also shopping, museums, and amazing vibes. It’s my favorite place to relax at after walking along the High Line Chelsea Market The High Line

- Smorgasburg: my favorite place to be in the Summer. It’s the biggest outdoor food markets with the most diverse food and international options out there. Spend an entire afternoon there and be stuffed! Smorgasburg Williamsburg
