Chelsea Market is one of my very favorite places to go in New York City. It is this wonderful old brick building with quite a few shops inside. The architecture itself is worth the visit. There is a bakery, a butcher a dairy store, a fruit and veggie place, a newstand, a florist and some other odds and ends. There are a few restaurants in there as well. It is especially nice at Christmas when it is all decorated and lit up.
