This incredible block-long marketplace was the former home of the National Biscuit Company, birthplace of the Oreo Cookie. More recently, the Food Network, Oxygen Network, and NY1 News have firmly placed it on the map with their live broadcasts. But you visit for the retailers, who make the place so extraordinary. With star chefs opening restaurants Buddakan and Morimoto at the Ninth and Tenth Avenue ends (plus Frank's steakhouse in the middle), as well as great food all throughout the marketplace, the Chelsea Market belongs on every itinerary. Below are the names of some of the retail shops, stretching from Ninth Avenue to Tenth Avenue. Click here for links to the individual stores.
