Essex Market, nestled in the heart of the Lower East Side, embodies a legacy as rich and diverse as the neighborhood itself. In order to manage the abundance of pushcarts crowding the streets throughout the 1800’s, the city planned a network of indoor public markets throughout the city, 6 of which still remain. In 2019, a larger, modern space for the vendors of the historic Essex Public Market opened its doors right across from the original market site. Now coined ‘Essex Market’, this new home allowed a slew of new businesses to join the legacy vendors in the Essex Market family with affordable, fresh foods, and community programming. Like last weekend, come hungry.
