The Gansevoort Market - Meatpacking District

Located in one of Manhattan's most historic neighborhoods, The Gansevoort Market blends the nostalgia of vintage New York with a very contemporary selection of trend-setting dishes from some of the city's best up and coming chefs.

The industrial, turn of the century architecture calls to mind a time and a place when farmers from both upstates, the Bronx and Staten Island brought their produce to this colorful neighborhood in order to sell their wares at the local open-air market.

Back then, the vendors used paper flyers created on huge printing presses and town criers to announce the opening of the farmer's market. Now, The Gansevoort market relies on the internet to get the word out.

Times have, indeed, changed. But, one very important thing that remains the same is the fact that veggies, meats and fruits, from local farms, play an important role in the market's popularity.

Dating all the way back to 1884, the first Gansevoort Market was located on the site that was once occupied by Fort Gansevoort. The market was, in fact, named in honor of the Revolutionary war hero Peter Gansevoort.

Taking up a huge open-air space, the market hosted scores of farmers and craftsmen and women. The farmer's wagons, filled with all manner of produce, would begin arriving in the wee hours of the morning, tying up "traffic" for blocks around.

Once the market was declared open for business, throngs of New Yorkers would converge on the premises, looking to stock up on great deals.

Shopping and eating here, though, is far from being just a trip back in time. One taste of the food, from young, hip chefs and purveyors like Mission Ceviche, Gotham Poke and Two Dough Boyz, is all you'll need to know that there is something very special going on here.
