    I haven't been back since the pandemic, when I lost my mind over Very Fresh Noodles and because we…read morehad to eat outside, I didn't even get to explore much of anything. I visited right after opening, a little after 10 am (many businesses do not open until 11am, like my beloved Seed+Mill). My first impression was that it reminded me of a food hall similar to what I experienced in various cities in Japan. The variety of foods available is impressive and you really can find it all here, from an Italian grocer to Japanese to the various food stands offering everything from BBQ to the best halvah I've ever had. And there's a Pearl River Mart and other places to find gifts and souvenirs. My favorite of this ilk is Muji Market, which has all the Japanese amazing things! Also of note: very clean bathrooms. It reminds me of the bathrooms at Grand Central, a lot of stalls, sinks in the center, only much, much more pleasant. I'll be back as soon as I can. It's silly that I didn't come here when I actually lived in New York.

    Swung by on a Saturday evening at 9pm for about 30 minutes while waiting for a late dinner…read morereservation. The physical location is open to 10pm though most shops and restaurants inside are closed by 8-9pm, only a handful of places like Chote Miya, Miznon, and La Devocione were still open though also wrapping up business for the evening. Wanted to highlight a few more stores here for this review: - Moon Man Foods: a Brooklyn-based company, they have a small stand about a third of the way thru the market (walking east to west), selling southeast Asian kaya jam, which is coconut-based and contain eggs, coconut milk, sugar, starch, and salt. They come in pandan, ube, and Java palm sugar (aka gula melaka) flavors. - Pearl River Mart and Pearl River Mart Foods: back in the day they used to be located in SoHo on Broadway, though rising rents made them relocate, and I'm glad they're still around! They carry all sorts of Asian-inspired decor, serving ware, stationery, and their "Foods" location downstairs is combination of Asian grocery, bubble tea (Milk & Tea), and Korean and Chinese snack/takeout stands (Kimbap Lab and Mao's Bao's). - Muji Market: this is a smaller location that carries a narrower assortment than your average Muji (house wares, basic apparel, accessories, kitchenware, snacks), though they have a full cafe serving coffee and matcha, simple Japanese lunch items like bowls, sandwiches and bento. Cafe prices seem a little higher probably due to the location. - gallery art: there is a small whitewashed hallway gallery of maybe a couple dozen small pieces by local artists, featuring NYC-centric photos, sketches, paintings, multi-media. Found this fun and entertaining!

    As a longtime patron of Essex Market, I highly recommend this historic Lower East Side destination…read morefor dining and shopping. What began as an unofficial pushcart market in 1888 has evolved into a modern, 37,000-square-foot facility at the corner of Essex and Delancey Streets. Recommended Vendors Nordic Preserves Fish and Wildlife Company for outstanding Scandinavian delicacies like gravlax, house-cured herring, and smoked salmon baguette sandwiches. Ni Japanese Deli, creating delicious bento boxes, miso soup, and rice bowls with ample vegan and vegetarian options. Dhamaka is an award-winning Indian soul food focused on rare provincial recipes. It's difficult to get a reservation but it's worth the effort. Don Ceviche (Market) A favorite for Peruvian classics like fresh ceviche, lomo saltado, and rotisserie chicken. Luis Meat Market A legacy, family-owned butcher shop operating for over 20 years, offering a massive variety including specialty cuts. They provide a great bang for your buck and it's my go to for morcilla and oxtails. Porto Rico Importing Co. is an old school coffee importer with a branch conveniently located inside the market. Today, the market houses nearly 40 independent vendors, community spaces, and a mezzanine with public seating. It remains a vital culinary hub that perfectly blends neighborhood grocery essentials with artisanal dining.
