more than 100 pieces with a focus on androgyny, idealism, and styles that may

In 1912 Nabisco sandwiched the Oreo here;

since 1997, however, the space has evolved

from a bakery landmark to a gourmand's

mecca. Original factory floors and winding halls

the original occupant, but Chelsea Market is

hardly about utility shopping nowadays with its

destination bakeries like Amy's Bread, Eleni's,

and Sarabeth's, fresh produce and prepared

foods from Buon Italia, and takeout from Thai

Wholesale and Ronnybrook Milk Bar. That Asian

underscores the location's culinary importance
