Chelsea Market continued...

The Lobster Place

The Lobster Place

The Lobster Place
The Lobster Place is a seafood lovers dream come true! While the lobster is the main specialty and yes, they looked lovely you can also choose from a very large selection of caviar, sushi, oysters, clams, scallops, sea urchin, crawfish, alot of fish varieties (mahi mahi, tilapia, ...) and much more. The seating space is small and lined up against the windows and with some seating outside. We waited a few minutes to sit but Allen said it was worth it because he loved the Massachusetts Atlantic Oysters he bought. It was real crowded when we there which is always a good sign. The Lobster Place also sells alot of sauces, spices, asian noodles and other delicacies.

I had just eaten a Napolean from Ruthy's Bakery & Café but had to check out the lovely selection of chocolates from Mr. Chocolate himself. Jacques Torres Chocolate is known for his fine selection of chocolates worldwide and there was such a nice selection for the quaint space. Allen bought me a white chocolate bar called Barry White, which I indulged in today. The white chocolate bar was silky smooth and rich. I will be back to try the Liquid Caramel and some other delights soon.

 Nutbox

Sesame Sticks, Corn Nuts, Coconut Chips, Nutbox
I love the Nutbox's hearty selection of nuts, dried fruit, seeds, yogurt pretzels, honey products, coffee beans and more. Allen picked up sesame sticks, corn nuts and coconut chips.

We will feature more of the shops as we continue to visit Chelsea Market. Pay this place a visit if you haven't already. It is a beautiful place with great food, and right in the heart of the meatpacking district.

Chelsea Market

Chelsea Market

Chelsea Market
Chelsea Market located on 75 Ninth Avenue (between 15th and 16th Streets) is an integral part of the meatpacking district. Chelsea Market offers a hefty selection of shops and some great eateries and restaurants for food lovers. Allen and I went to see the Swamp In The City, History Channel exhibit and visited some shops, had some good bites, bought some goodies, and had a great time just walking around and taking pictures.

Me and my Napoleon
I have been wanting to come here for some time so I was happy to finally be in Ruthy's Bakery & Café. There were so many choices to chose from: french macarons, cupcakes, rugelach, cookies,  pastries, cakes, cheesecakes, pies, tarts, and more. I decided to go for one of my favorite pastries, a napoleon. I was picture happy in this place but wanted to show you some of the goods they sell. I love the look of the place, and my napoleon was delicious so I will be back to try some other stuff soon.

 Fat Witch Bakery

Fat Witch Bakery
I love the cookbook Fat Witch Brownies and had to come in and get a brownie for later indulgence. I love the Fat Witch Bakery and enjoyed perusing the yummies they were selling. Allen got me an adorable white chocolate bear and I almost felt sad for eating him. The brownie was so delicious and I ate it slowly to savor every last bit. Yum.  

Allen filling out a heart for me
