The Gansevoort Market
The Gansevoort Market opened in October 2014 and it is delightful. Located at the edge of the meatpacking district, this rustic-style space in a renovated garage offers an eclectic line-up of both new and classic New York restaurants.
I've recently taken a liking to the food hall/market scene because of their casual, social environments and the diversity of the cuisines. Having variety tends to please its customers as it has options that would appeal to everyone.
So here's the lowdown of restaurants:
- Aunt Butchie's Cheesecake - Ever heard of a cheesecake cone? Probably not, so go try one here.
- Bangkok Bar - Thai food. And coconut water served in coconuts.
- Brooklyn Soda Works - Healthy sodas? Yep, sodas made from fruits, herbs, spices, and CO2.
- Bruffin Cafe - What's a bruffin? A brioche muffin with lots of stuffin'.
- Cappone's Salumeria - Authentic Italian sandwich shop.
- Champion Coffee - A good ol' coffee shop.
