A gorgeous smorgasbord of gourmet market goods and both casual-elegant and upscale eateries, the revamped historic Tin Building is sort of like a French version of Eataly. Jean-Georges is one of my favorite culinary creatives and I have adored all of his restaurants I've visited in NYC (the flagship one after his namesake, ABC Kitchen & ABC Cocina, Nougatine, Perry St.) but have yet to sample any of his newer ventures at the Seaport, which he seems to have taken over and made in his image with The Fulton and now this spectacular market.
It is aesthetically enchanting and offers a full complement of epicurean delights, including a patisserie, deli, butcher, seafood counter, gourmet sweets, groceries, wines & cheeses, cafes & restaurants, and even a florist. The romantic warm amber & graduated pastel hues cast an aura of fantasy, as if you're on a movie set. Gourmands & foodies will swoon, but be advised that the fancy goods come with fancy price tags to match.
It's a great place to stop in and have a beverage, snack, or meal when you're in the South Street Seaport area. Or if you're like me and constantly on the hunt for niche and specialty/imported food products to discover and to use in cooking, or in search of a unique gift for the discerning host(ess), this is very well a destination location worth a special visit.
