After snow days | Midtown

The Crevasse in the street nyc.

눈이 오고 난 뒤에 맨하탄 거리는 평소와 달리 상당히 걷기가 불편하다. 잔뜩 뿌린 염화칼슘이 인도의 눈을 녹이긴 하지만, 길가로 밀어놓은 눈더미들이 눈이 녹은 물이 빠지는 길을 막은 탓에 길 모퉁이마다 물 웅덩이를 만들어 놓는다. 별 생각없이 길을 걷다간 십상팔구 발이 빠지게 마련이고, 젖은 신발로 하루종일 다녀야하는 불상사가 종종 샌긴다. 고무장화를 신은 여자들은 당당하게 걸어가긴 하지만 대개는 발을 쫙 벗고 그러면서 젖은 바닥에 디딘 발과 디딜 발이 미끌어지지 않게 중심을 잡아주는 기술이 필요하다. 눈이 오고 난 뒤에 뉴욕 거리는 그래서인지 더욱 활기차다.

Chelsea Market

75 9th Ave New York, NY 10011

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.

Retail facilities were introduced into the building by connecting the original back lots of individual buildings to a central, ground-level concourse with entries at 9th and 10th Avenues (completed in April 1997). Anchor stores include the Chelsea Market Baskets, Manhattan Fruit Exchange, 202 by Nicole Farhi, Amy's Bread, and a restaurant, called Buddakan. There is also the Fat Witch Bakery, Ruth's Bakery, Eleni's Bakery, The Lobster Place, Frank's Meat, and Chelsea Thai.

In January 2006 on the 10th Avenue side, Morimoto, owned by Food Network "Iron Chef" Masaharu Morimoto and designed by Japanese architect Tadao Ando opened. Opposite Morimoto across 10th Avenue, also in the Chelsea Market complex is Del Posto, an Italian restaurant owned by fellow "Iron Chef", Mario Batali. The Food Network films its shows Iron Chef America and Emeril Live in the Chelsea Market.

The developers of Chelsea Market have encouraged a symbiotic relationship among their tenants with the vendors supplying the restaurateurs with fresh ingredients, such as seafood, vegetables, fruit and meats. The presence of television companies in the same building also brings media attention to the site and the businesses that are found there. The site also allows businesses to combine their manufacturing and retail assets under one roof.
