Fun Facts

Originally established as a public market to house pushcart vendors, Essex Market has been a staple of the Lower East Side for over 80 years, offering a diverse range of food and goods.

In 2019, Essex Market moved to a new, larger location across the street, expanding its offerings while maintaining its historic charm.

The market hosts a variety of vendors, from butchers and fishmongers to specialty food purveyors, reflecting the diverse culinary landscape of New York City.

Essex Market regularly hosts cooking classes, tastings, and other community events, fostering a sense of connection among locals and visitors alike.

The market's relocation was part of the Essex Crossing development, a major urban renewal project aimed at revitalizing the Lower East Side.
