Chelsea Market has changed since I was last there, two years ago. All the stores seem to have expanded and revamped (except those that have closed, such as my favorite plant store). But now there’s an outpost of Posman Books stuck in the back and Jacques Torres Chocolate, so I’m not complaining. And I was relieved to see that Buon Italia is pretty much the same as before, so I stocked up on those heavy, 1,000-gram bags of Setaro pasta—but also managed to carry away some thick cherry preserves and truffle oil. Every time, I stretch myself to carry bags just a little bit heavier than I thought possible. Still, unfortunately, I had no room for Amy’s Bread or fresh crabmeat.
So, is purple the new black?
ReplyDeleteOh, I just realized that I posted a comment on the wrong day... happens when I get behind on my reading, sorry. About the Chelsea Mkt... don't forget that the food network have their studios here. Used to be able to get tickets to shows by hanging around the market having coffee or see one of the food celebrities rushing to catch an elevator...
ReplyDeleteI've never been to a Food Network show, but that could be cool. Will have to keep in mind for when tourists are in town!
