I'm taking you around the Christmas markets of New York City. I hope you're enjoying the tour!
Chelsea Market is a place in Manhattan that I often visit. It's a foodie paradise with shops selling food and anything related to food like cooking tools, exotic ingredients, books and gift baskets.
Locals and visitors come here to grab a bite, buy something "to go", experience a new trend in dining, and possibly bump into a Food Network celebrity chef {the Food Network offices/kitchens are located in the building}.
Here's how Chelsea Market is decorated for the holidays this year:
A Christmas tree made of real twigs, logs and
leaves, painted in white.
A new spin on the Hanukkah Menorah.
It's made of nine humble paintbrushes covered in paper bag and twine. During each night of Hanukkah, a paintbrush is unveiled to reveal a flame {an actual Menorah is lit with real flames}. I've never seen anything like this, I think it's cute.
Real and faux plants that tell you the holidays are here.
Inside Chelsea Market is a bakeshop called Eleni's. They make the most adorable decorated sugar cookies!
Snowmen cookies that double as tree ornaments. I think this is a cool idea/presentation for party favors.
They don't only specialize in holiday cookies, they have different themes like this New York City sampler.
At the other end of Chelsea Market is a pop-up shop of Brooklyn's Artist and Fleas, with a collection of handmade creations and vintage finds.
Another market called Jingle runs until December 23.
Markets within a market -- just one of the reasons
I love the holidays!
