The experience

You start at Market 57 at Pier 57 on the Hudson River, a food hall in Chelsea that the James Beard Foundation has curated. The stalls belong to women and minority owners, and your local guide leads you from one to the next, so the room becomes a sequence of small surprises.

Along the way the tastings arrive one after another: Chinese dumplings, Japanese crispy rice, an NYC style hot dog, a grilled cheese sandwich, a Thai dish, Caribbean plantains and a mango drink with a twist. The lineup can shift, and bottled water is there to wash it all down.

Between bites, the windows do the work. Harbor views take in the Statue of Liberty and Little Island, and the historic Pier 57 is right there around you. Chelsea Piers, Chelsea Market and the Highline are all nearby when you step back outside.
