Well, the Chelsea Market is a trendy and quite unique shopping mall in Manhattan occupying the space where was located the National Biscuit Company factory complex where the Oreo cookie was invented! It's a fantastic experience just to wander in the galleries. There are plenty of traces of the old factory. It's a must visit landmark in NYC! From Wikipedia: ( visit link) quote:
Chelsea Market is an enclosed urban food court, shopping mall, office building and television production facility located in the Chelsea neighborhood of the borough of Manhattan, in New York City. Built in the former National Biscuit Company factory complex where the Oreo cookie was invented and produced, the 22-building complex fills two entire blocks bounded by Ninth and Eleventh Avenues and 15th and 16th Streets, with a connecting bridge over Tenth Avenue. In addition to the retail concourse in the structure east of 10th Avenue, it also provides standard office space for tenants, including media and broadcasting companies such as Oxygen Network, Food Network, Mr Youth, MLB.com, EMI Music Publishing and the local New York City cable station NY1. Also, more recently, Google has moved into some of the second and fourth floors.
