Essex Market

The Essex Market, located at the crossroads of Delancey and Essex Streets on Manhattan's Lower East Side, is a charming indoor complex. This century-old market features a broad assortment of local sellers selling anything from fresh cut flowers and gourmet foods to craft beers and delectable meals.

Grab a brew from Top Hops and Italian stuffed rice balls from Arancini Bros. for a picnic, or grab snacks from Luna Brothers Fruit Plaza and artisanal cheese from Valley Shepherd Creamery. Join one of Essex Market's culinary courses or a Turnstile Tours-led tour if you have spare time.

Since 1818, when it opened as a covered market on Grand Street between Essex and Ludlow streets, Essex Market has been a mainstay on the Lower East Side. Essex Market has long been a one-of-a-kind shopping experience, with locals and visitors alike congregating to browse a broad selection of goods. Their vendors each have a unique story to tell and a different personality to add to their already delectable wares. They give this historic public market a true neighborhood atmosphere by sharing their experiences and knowledge.
