Why locals recommend it
This Lower East Side street was once the hub of an enormous, thriving neighborhood of Jewish immigrants, who ran small shops and vending carts that packed every block. In 1940, the mayor had the vendors move indoors to the Essex Street Market. It's still a hub of local vendors, who now sell everything from bagels and cheese to tortas and sushi. Because of the large number of pickle merchants that once lined Essex Street, it became known as the pickle district. At least one still survives—the Pickle Guys, at the corner of Grand, who keep the wonderful flavor of the neighborhood’s iconic foods alive.
Tips from locals
Newly renovated market with tons of New York food vendors. It's an authentic version of Chelsea Market
Favorite market in all of New York. Vendor ingredients are cheaper and better quality in most cases. Take the J train at your door step to the Delancey / Essex stations. A quick 10 minutes train to food paradise.
Amid the hustle and bustle of New York’s Lower East Side is a marketplace on Essex Street with a bustle of its own.
