Essex Street Market
Grocery store · Lower East Side ·
New York City Cheese Expert Anne Saxelby Has Died
"Originally built as a cramped, utilitarian market for street vendors during the LaGuardia administration, the old market housed tiny stalls (one notable cheesemonger occupied just 100 square feet) and many longtime tenants; it was later redeveloped and replaced with a new, modern space across the street as part of the Essex Crossing project, a relocation that some vendors resisted." - Chris Crowley
