Best Shopping Malls in Edison Area

"In a shining example of redevelopment and preservation, the Chelsea Market has transformed a former factory into a shopping concourse that caters to foodies. More than two dozen food vendors ply their temptations, including Mokbar (ramen with Korean accents); Takumi (mixing Japanese and Mexican ingredients); Very Fresh Noodles (hand-pulled northern Chinese noodles); Bar Suzette (crepes); Num Pang (Cambodian sandwiches); Ninth St Espresso (perfect lattes); Doughnuttery (piping-hot mini-doughnuts); and Fat Witch Bakery (brownies and other decadent sugar hits)."

"Keep walking north and you’ll hit the Chelsea Market on 9th Avenue and 15th street. Give a big fat middle finger to the Anthropologie store there, where I slowly lost my sanity working for 18 months (kidding/not kidding). Continue inside to some of the gourmet shops within the Chelsea Market."

"For some of the best street photography opportunities and some of the best food in New York City make your way to Chelsea Market. Crammed with delicious eateries and unique stores the market will keep you occupied for hours."

"Artists & Fleas permanent set up in Soho (there is also a weekends-only marketplace in Williamsburg) is a great place to pick up souvenirs made by local artisans. The booths are run by young entrepreneurial types selling original, relatively inexpensive jewelry, decor, or Brooklyn-y souvenirs, like cheeky, screen-printed T-shirts or soy-wax candles. There's also a solid vintage selection, with permanent booths like Thriftwares selling on-trend bags and out-there dresses."

"Another hot spot for shopping for one of a kind items and cool work made my local artisans is Artists & Fleas in Williamsburg. Selling things made by all kinds of creators and creatives the Williamsburg location has over 75 different sellers to shop from. Whether you’re looking for a unique gift for someone or just something for yourself, there’s something for everyone at Artists & Fleas."

"Where: Brooklyn When: Saturdays & Sundays, 10:00am – 7:00pm Great for: Hipsters. Artists and Fleas – a hipster’s heaven.

"The "Hester Street Fair" has everything, including food, vinyl, art, and vintage clothes. A perfect place to go on a warm spring day, it's the stroll through the park of every knick-knack collector's dreams. Indoors on Saturday, outdoors on Sunday, this market is one to enjoy no matter the weather."

"Where: Lower Eastside When: Saturdays, 11:00am – 6:00pm Great for: Food and live music. Good eats, good music and good vibes – all to be found at Hester Street fair. This is not your typical street market, but a more relaxed atmosphere, great for spending a lazy, sunny Saturday."

"The gallery is primarily known for its museum-quality minimalist and conceptual artist exhibitions – a nod to the decade during which her gallery was founded. Carl Andre, Sol LeWitt and Sophie Calle are just a few of the renowned conceptual artists you can discover at the Paula Cooper Gallery. Widely regarded as one of the original New York art dealers, a visit to this gallery is not to be missed!"

"A leading woman in the art world, Paula Cooper opened the first art gallery in SoHo in 1968. Art galleries in NYC, mostly in the 1960s, is a man’s world. Paula Cooper stands above everyone with a legendary gallery she still runs, that’s been open for over 50 years."

Keep it simple with classic bar food featuring chicken wings, burgers and, most importantly, sea fare like mussels, steamed clams and beer battered cod with fries."
