"A longtime food vendor relocated to Essex Crossing in 2019 and remains open." - Nadia Chaudhury
"Lower East Side megaproject Essex Crossing’s food hall, the Market Line, recently debuted an outdoor dining area at 81 Norfolk Street, at the corner of Delancey Street, and customers can get food from vendors like German smoked meats shop Schaller and Weber, NYC staple Veselka, seafood destination Essex Pearl and Tortilleria Nixtamal. Orders have to be placed on phones by scanning a QR code present on tables outside and waitstaff then bring over the food. Many of the vendors at the food hall are also doing a host of grocery deliveries through Mercato." - Erika Adams, Tanay Warerkar
"The smoked salmon sandwich with smetana and paddlefish roe is light and flavorful, priced at $12." - Robert Sietsema
"Founded in the 1940s, moved to Essex Crossing building in 2019." - Megan Murphy
"Essex Market has been a central part of the Lower East Side since the early 19th century when the city was covered in mud and manure. In its current home, you can pick up everything from fresh produce and spices, to fancy bottles of small-batch olive oil, kippered salmon, and smoked German sausages. It’s a big place, with more vendors downstairs at the adjoining Market Line, so we wrote a guide to the best places to eat, drink, and shop while you’re there. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation
