It's a small convenience-type store and they carry produce, deli items, flowers and some groceries as well. The flowers they had on display looked very fresh cut and the fruit was nicely displayed and looked very fresh as well. Since I was in the mood for something light I grabbed a container of fruit salad and went with that. I took it back to the place where I was staying and had it there. The fruit was perfectly cut into bite-size pieces and was sweet and tasty. The portion size was just enough to fill me up. The service at the checkout area was good and the price for the fruit salad was very fair for the amount of fruit that I received.

Ask for help as they are sensitive about product being touched & understandably given quality. This vendor is located at the furthest point. I believe this person is indigenous to the Americas and not Asian, although not 100%. Most other vendors are Asian, with overall good quality and incredible prices. Take the time to find them. The earlier in the day I suspect the fresher the product. International selection and more traditional items familiar to those of US. Many greens today, different squares, several varieties of mango, ginger and galangal, mushrooms, apples, melons, fresh water chestnuts & tomatoes....there was conch and crab also available today, along with some housewares. Bring your backpack, extra bags, cart and/or suitcase. Do not forget our local farmers at farmer's markets but the selection and circumstance may be factors in your visit.

Go, find a stand with a long line (locals know where the fresh stuff is and line up there), and get in on the best bargain in the city...

I've worked in the Chelsea Market for 4 years now and have never once bought fruit from the…read moreManhattan Fruit Exchange. I know. Shocking. Instead I stuck to Haribo gummy snacks - i know, also shocking. Appalling even. Last week I had a craving for some fresh fruit so I stopped into the Manhattan Fruit Exchange and grabbed a pack of strawberry's and black cherry's. Strawberry's with sugar are one of my favorite snacks and these are the ripest, juiciest, sweetest strawberry's I've ever tasted. Don't be fooled by the name, Manhattan Fruit Exchange has a plethora of produce ranging from common to hard to find fruits and veggies. Things to know: The space is large and refrigerated so be prepared for the chill or bring a sweater (the workers wear sweatshirts even in the summer). Self serve. CASH ONLY.

The prices are a bit inconsistent: some of their stuff can be expensive, but much of it is pretty cheap by NYC standards. Their spices are cheaper than the last Indian supermarket I went to in Jersey City. So if you have an idea how much things should cost, then you can score some great deals here. $10 minimum for credit card (MC/Visa/Amex/Discover/JCB).
