A Guide To Eating Your Way Through New York City’s Chelsea Market
For years, I’ve been making an annual pilgrimage to New York City. In that time, I can say that I’ve seen it all. I retraced my family roots on Ellis Island, toured the Statue of Liberty, felt like the mayor of New York at the Top of the Rock, and visited the best museums the city has to offer. Yet, I still find myself returning year after year. Why? The food! You just can’t beat New York City’s culinary scene.
At the center of the city’s foodie movement is Chelsea Market. The market is a sprawling complex located just a few blocks from the Food Network’s headquarters (yes, celebrity chefs can often be spotted) in the old Nabisco factory. It’s a foodie’s paradise of food shops,

It’s one of the largest seafood shops I’ve experienced anywhere in the world. I’m always remiss that I can’t shop there since I always stay in a hotel when I’m in New York City. That doesn’t mean I still can’t enjoy the fresh seafood. Lobster Place has a raw bar to belly up to for a bite of fresh oysters or other crudo indulgences. Cull & Pistol, which is attached to Lobster Place, offers a more intimate setting, and offers the same great raw bar selections alongside fresh lobster rolls.
Take a Break from Eating
You’re probably a little full by now and need a break from eating. It’s a good thing that Chelsea Market is more than just food. There are a few shops to browse like Anthropologie, Artists & Fleas, and Posman Books. If you want to stock up for food and drink supplies for your hotel room, check out Lucy’s Whey for artisanal cheeses, Amy’s Bread and Dickson’s Farmstand Meats for sandwich making supplies, Chelsea Wine Vault for wine, The Filling Station for craft beer, and Fat Which Bakery for decadent brownies.
If you need to stretch your legs a little more, venture outside of Chelsea Market to adjoining High Line Park, New York City’s newest greenway. Enjoy fresh air as you walk along what was once a train track but is now a city park. Or, do as most foodie’s do when they’re not eating and drink! The Tippler is a great place for handcrafted cocktails and Corkbuzz is a unique option for a glass (or bottle) of wine.

The lobsters are complex creatures, as David Foster Wallace explains in the essay, and the people that are going to the festival are making this complex creature so easy to kill. Wallace is able to validate this argument by using their complexity of life and the simplicity of their death to show the paradox that the festival has created explaining, “Taxonomically speaking, a lobster is a marine crustacean of the family Homaridae, characterized by five pairs of jointed legs, the first pair terminating in large pincerish claws used for subduing prey” (Wallace 55). Then later explaining, “Be apprised, though, that the Main Eating Tent’s suppers come in Styrofoam trays, and the soft drinks are iceless and flat” (Wallace 55). This paradox that Wallace brings to the attention to his audience show that these articulate and graceful creatures are being disgraced by the festival goers by being served on Styrofoam trays and served with unappealing beverages. It is no coincidence that two things that are really explained is the anatomy of the lobster and how complex the makeup of the lifeform is and the simplicity of the death of the lobster. By explaining these two things in depth, he is able to show how ridiculous and unfair he feels that killing and eating the lobster is. Wallace also humanizes the lobster to bring the situation into a perspective that
