I love New York City food markets.\u00a0 Given that every single cuisine you can think of is represented in the Big Apple, it\u2019s the perfect place for a foodie getaway.\u00a0 Every time I visit (which is quite often given that it\u2019s such a short trip from DC), I add a food market to my agenda.\u00a0 Below I share some of my favorite markets and food halls thus far. Yes, I say thus far because there are so many more I would like to savor!<\/p>\n Chelsea Market: <\/a>\u00a0If you love food and design, Chelsea Market is the place for you.\u00a0 Upon entering, you\u2019re taken with the scents of the many eateries of the market and the rustic design.\u00a0 With everything from crepes to lobster rolls, there\u2019s something for everyone.\u00a0 It\u2019s perfect if you\u2019re traveling with a group who cannot agree on a cuisine.\u00a0 One of my favorite places is the Doughnuttery, which makes deliciously decadent mini doughnuts which are tossed in a flavored sugar. My last time there was in the fall. Of course I had to indulge in the pumpkin spice. Chelsea Market, 75 9th Ave, New York, NY 10011. Nearest Subway Stop: 14th<\/sup> St and 8th<\/sup> Ave<\/em><\/p>\n Gansevoort Market:<\/a> Located steps away from Chelsea Market, Gansevoort is much smaller, with more of an intimate vibe and less crowds than its bigger neighbor.\u00a0\u00a0 There you can indulge in Colombian arepas, spicy Thai noodles, and mouthwatering whoopee pies.\u00a0 In true market vibe, there is also a flower market where you can have flower arrangements made on the spot.\u00a0 Make sure to pick up a delicious pastry at The Bruffin Caf\u00e9. Gansevoort Market, 52 Gansevoort St, New York, NY 10014. Nearest Subway Stop: 14th<\/sup> St and 8th<\/sup> Ave<\/em><\/p>\n Gotham West Market:<\/a> \u00a0This is my latest addition to my New York City food markets adventures.\u00a0 This Hell\u2019s Kitchen food hall is small but packs in a wide spectrum of vendors.\u00a0 From tacos to ramen, it was difficult to choose where to eat.\u00a0 We ended up at Cannibal, just as the name implies, it specializes in cured meats and sausages.\u00a0 Cannibal is a favorite of my two local NYC friends who took me there. \u00a0Not to miss: the hot dogs.\u00a0 I sampled the \u201cJimmy The Tulip\u201d.\u00a0 The toppings of ranch, kale, and pork rinds may sound like an oxymoron, but it was an appropriate hangover treat! Gotham West Caf\u00e9, 600 11th Ave, New York, NY 10036. 15-minute walk from Times Square. Although there are no subway stops, there are several buses that stop very close to the market.<\/p>\n Eataly:<\/a>\u00a0 I must admit I was a bit conflicted at first about going here because it seemed so touristy from afar.\u00a0 However, there\u2019s a reason why crowds come to this place. It is a foodie heaven. You\u2019re welcomed with the warm scent of Nutella as you navigate through a labyrinth of cheese, wine, and homemade pasta.\u00a0 I could probably spend a whole day reading through the vast collection of cooking books.\u00a0 Escape the crowds by heading upstairs to La Bierreria, an Italian inspired beerhall and restaurant.\u00a0 Dining Traveler Tip: You can make reservations ahead of time via Open Table. Eataly: 200 5th Ave, New York, NY 10010, Nearest Subway Stop: 23rd<\/sup> Street.<\/p>\n The New York City food markets I shared are just a small glimpse of the culinary offerings of the city. \u00a0Check out my Chinatown post<\/a> in which my BFF Jaime (who also happens to be fluent in Cantonese) gives me a tour of her beloved spots. \u00a0Sometimes is fun to ditch the guidebook and discover that perfect caf\u00e9 or restaurant that may be right around the corner from your hotel.\u00a0\u00a0 Looking for a place to stay? The London NYC<\/a> is my go-to place. \u00a0Tucked away on 54th street, you have all the attractions nearby without the chaos. Stay tuned for my full review from my most recent stay.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I love New York City food markets.\u00a0 Given that every single cuisine you can think of is represented in the Big Apple, it\u2019s the perfect place for a foodie getaway.\u00a0 Every time I visit (which is quite often given that it\u2019s such a short trip from DC), I add a food market to my agenda.\u00a0 […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":27,"featured_media":1826,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,46,22,2],"tags":[454,455,407],"class_list":{"0":"post-2883","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-food","8":"category-food-travel","9":"category-nyc","10":"category-travel","11":"tag-food-markets","12":"tag-food-travel","13":"tag-nyc"},"yoast_head":"\n<\/a>
